    Tikka T3X CTR Failure to Eject

    Took my new CTR in 6.5 Creedmoor to the range to sight in and the rifle absolutely will not extract a spent casing. 100% failure rate. After 5 rounds I gave up. This is the first bolt action that I have ever had this problem with. Any thoughts on how to address this besides trying to send...

    Rifle Scopes 10x fixed effective range

    My shooting applications are probably 80% hunting related and 20% target related. With that said, I know several hunters that have been hindered by scopes with either higher min magnification or higher fixed power magnification when hunting in wooded areas and/or targeting moving game in LA/MS...

    Snipery M60...well, its' got an optic UPDATE: Now with accuracy test video

    That's bad ass! Dad was a door gunner in Vietnam and I would love to have a M60 even in semi auto. My next rifle will be ceracoted in tiger stripe in his honor.

    Rifle Scopes Anyone try the Athlon Midas Tac yet?

    Aren't these Chinese scopes? Just curious as I have never seen so much love shown for Chinese optics. I dealt with Chinese made products for years in a different industry and the defect rate was horrendous. I went cheap on two Chinese optics in the past and learned my lesson. Maybe they...

    New Stocks from GRS

    I received an email today from EuroOptic about new stocks from GRS. The Bifrost looks pretty interesting as an option for my Tikka. Any word on these? The Bolthorn is also very interesting but is up there with the likes of Cadex and J Allen with regards to price...

    Greatest pre ~1962 SMG

    Here is a pic of my dad with his tommy gun. He was in country for ~19 months. Served his tour and then re-enlisted for another six months. Didn't talk about the war much but I read that he flew over 450 combat missions.

    Greatest pre ~1962 SMG

    My father was a crew chief in Nam, early in the war. When he wasn't lugging around his "pig" on patrols, he carried a thompson sub-machine gun. As the story goes, he traded for it. He also kept it stored on-board his huey in case he needed something portable if the chopper went down. Will...

    Stock for 700 BDL

    I have not so I just went on their website. I know the H-S stock has an aluminum bedding block. Does the Grayboe have the same feature or will it require bedding? I didn't see mention of a bedding block on Grayboe's site but I may have missed it.

    Stock for 700 BDL

    I recently inherited a 700 BDL in 7mm mag when my father passed away and I am interested in replacing the stock. The rifle is from the early 90's and is a great shooter, but the barrel is not fully floated in its original stock which is synthetic. I would like to try and keep the rifle in its...

    Rifle Scopes New 1-8 scopes @shot?

    I know they are not in the same class but Bushnell has a new 1-8 in its ar line and Millett has a new 1-8 tac. Believe both to be illuminated. One of my distributors lists both as coming soon but I can't find any additional info on them. They are not listed on either co's websites.

    NEW Remington 700 PCR

    I am fairly certain this is the rifle on Impact Guns for less than a grand: https://www.impactguns.com/remington-700-pcr-65-creedmoor-24in-barrel-square-drop-handguard-detachabl-047700845869-84586.aspx

    Iota Kremlin stocks and Horizon Firearms

    A few weeks back the Carter's Country off of Treaschwig had a few in stock. I fondled one for a few seconds but it was in an off caliber so I didn't pay it much attention. You may want to give them a call to see if they still have one. At least that way you can check them out before you buy...

    Tikka CTR Stock Upgrade - Thoughts?

    Yes, I am a Cajun transplant living just north of Houston. The German Gun Stocks that were posted look very intriguing but I will probably wait on a Manners and take it Aaron to work on. I've been convinced to shoot it as is for now and plan to mount my scope and take it out this weekend. No...

    Rifle Scopes What are some good scope rings?

    Big fan of Leopold Mark 4 rings. Have never had any issues with them.

    Tikka CTR Stock Upgrade - Thoughts?

    Truthfully, I have no reason real reason to upgrade the stock other than just a desire for something new. I have plenty of deer rifles and spent this past season hunting with one of my trusty 7 mags, but I purchased this rifle to give me something to tinker with. I actually just spoke with...

    Tikka CTR Stock Upgrade - Thoughts?

    I have a Tikka T3X CTR in 6.5 that has been sitting in the safe for a few months and I would like to upgrade the stock. Primary application it will be used for is hunting and occasionally some long distance paper punching. I am a traditionalist and I really like the looks of the Manners line...

    Rifle Scopes Delta Stryker HD

    I had never heard of them but the 5-50x looks awfully similar to the same line offered by March. They seem to have some interesting reticles.

    Rifle Scopes Primary Arms scopes?

    I have a 1-6 on a noveske and while I love the reticle adjusting it is a pain in the rear. It's a guessing game as clicks are non-existent. Maybe I got a bad one but I wouldn't buy another because of the turrets.
