    Tikka T3 Tactical .223.

    Re: Tikka T3 Tactical .223. I cut the rib at the back of my magazine and machined a delrin block to fill in some of the extra space. Factory mag was one of the 6 rounders in mine but it only feeds 4 well now because the follower tends to snag when it gets below the baseplate. I have enough...

    5.45x39 Sniper Rifle

    Re: 5.45x39 Sniper Rifle THANKS! I have been looking for info on one of these for a while now. I had the chance to buy one for $650 a couple years ago, but it had the dreaded broken extractor and I was nervous about the reports that they don't shoot well (yeah probably due to the ammo but hey...)

    Tikka T3 varmint

    Re: Tikka T3 varmint Problem is Beretta is one of the worst examples of a large gunmaker that is stuck in their ways. They are terrible to deal with and in general a PITA. I really wish Tikka would find a different importer but aren't they actually owned by Beretta now? For what its worth I...

    AI or TRG ?

    Re: AI or TRG ? The way I see it is, AI AW vs. TRG-22? TRG-22 is the easy answer because of the price AND (for me anyways) the stock. If you are looking at a .300 or .338 it may be a little closer, but I still like the TRGs. If you are comparing a TRG to the AI AE then its totally up to the...

    Gunsmithing Sako TRG 42 & 22 bolt handle attachment method

    Re: Sako TRG 42 handle thread size I have an older TRG-22 that has the blued bolt and it has the same threading as Ghostcoyotes. The knob is a very hard plastic in the earlier guns, almost like phenolic resin. I liked it enough I made a knob/bolt handle almost identical to it for my Tikka.

    Forster Benchrest vs. Ultra Micrometer dies?

    Re: Forster Benchrest vs. Ultra Micrometer dies? No problem. What kind of bullets are you loading? Are you seeing an obvious ring where the seating stem is contacting the bullet too?

    Forster Benchrest vs. Ultra Micrometer dies?

    Re: Forster Benchrest vs. Ultra Micrometer dies? The clicking noise you are hearing is from the compression spring on the seating die stacking. If you back your die off a couple of turns, and then run your seating stem in accordingly, it typically will get quieter if not go away all together...

    Gunsmithing Stiff Leupold Mark 4 M3 Dials

    Re: Stiff Leupold Mark 4 M3 Dials Take the knobs off, (just like you would to zero them) and add a little thin oil to the O-rings (airgun/airtool oil is safe on rubber). Its not unusual for them to get dry and turn hard against the anodizing if you haven't used it in a while.

    Any TRG22 / 175gr SMK users out there?

    Re: Any TRG22 / 175gr SMK users out there? Mine shoots 175SMKs with 43.0 grains of RL-15, Fed210Ms, and Lapua brass VERY well. Load em .010" off and they shoot great. Typically 1" to 1.5" at 300 yards

    Remington 700 XCR Tactical vs. Cooper The Phoenix

    Re: Remington 700 XCR Tactical vs. Cooper The Phoenix I've got 4 Coopers and had another. The 6ppc was just a little wonky. The .223, .22-250, .22PPC, and 6.5x284 (amazing rifle) are all almost 1 hole rifles, with the .223 being a 1 hole gun at 100 with just about everything I feed it. It...

    Rifle Scopes cost of burris nonwarranty scope repair

    Re: cost of burris nonwarranty scope repair I would send it in and see if they fix it anyways, I had a 6 year old 3-9 signature series on an AR and I slid into a barrier a "little" (read LOT) hard with it. It knocked a lens loose and I ended up getting water in it. I sent it in and they had...

    Gunsmithing How would you rate this bedding job?......UPDATE

    Re: How would you rate this bedding job? Agreed, I'd be pissed. Hell, who knows it MAY shoot, but it sure as shit isn't pretty and actually looks pretty porus like it was mixed wrong. I would NOT have them re bed it. I would want my money back or having some way of offsetting the cost of...

    Stainless Steel Media Testimonials

    Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials Alright guys, I have been following this thread from the page 2 or 3 and tried this method. It flat works as well or better than any other method out there. I didn't want to screw with Suasponte's business, as if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have found...

    hope i posted in the right place???? 308 -7.62x51

    Re: hope i posted in the right place???? 308 -7.62x51 Sounds like Turkish .308, with an '08 headstamp. It should be just fine to shoot in your rifle. Being boxer primed and that new it should not be corrosive. MKE is supposed to be decent ammo, but it probably won't be the most accurate stuff...

    Small Rifle Primed Lapua .308

    Re: Small Rifle Primed Lapua .308 yeah I had to drag this post back up. Unfortunately I don't get to shoot to 1K very often, but the reason I load "hot" is it seems my TRG shoots WAY better loaded stiff than just a middling load. It will group 1/4" to 1/2" regularly with the loads that loosen...

    Is this a nock-off?

    Re: Is this a nock-off? I am guessing that those were "borrowed" from the US taxpayer, and who says pawn shops don't buy stolen stuff. BS!

    TRG Owners

    Re: TRG Owners I think you can, you would have to get a longer bolt, but other than that... I made mine out of wood, and sanded it down to where I felt it was the perfect height, then I machined it to those dimensions out of black delrin. Most of the companies out there are batshit crazy for...

    Small Rifle Primed Lapua .308

    Re: Small Rifle Primed Lapua .308 Do you know if they use the smaller flash hole of the PPC style cases or do they use the standard size flash holes?
