    Rifle Scopes Swarovski's Ballistic Turret

    Re: Swarovski's Ballistic Turret I run a 6-18x50 Ballistic Turret on my Tikka and really like it. You can set the additional zero points at whatever distance you'd like up to a max as mentioned above. The above post stated 46 clicks but my scope is 41 clicks (I could be wrong though)if I...

    Tikka Master Sporter help UPDATE!

    Re: Tikka Master Sporter help This will probably be of no help at all but my Tikka shoots 150gr bullets much better than 168gr or 180gr bullets. Also maybe check your bases and rings to make sure they're completely tight. I'm sure you've already done this but I just wanted to mention it...

    Rifle Scopes Warne Tactical rings

    Re: Warne Tactical rings Well my rings finally came in today and I'm more than pleased with the quality of this product! I think they could have been better if they would have at least given some kind of factory torque specifications for the rings themselves. They gave the 65in/lbs for the...

    Adding weight to a Tikka T3

    Re: Adding weight to a Tikka T3 I do reload but haven't had the chance to start working on loads for this rifle yet. If I do go with a lighter bullet I'll have to find one that likes quiet a bit of "jump" as the rifle has a very long throat. I've read quiet a bit on loading light in the...

    Adding weight to a Tikka T3

    I've been debating putting a muzzle brake on my T3 for a few weeks now. It's not that the .308 is a hard recoiling round but between the general light weight of the rifle and a bum shoulder it can begin to wear on me after a 100rds or so in a weekend. The trade off is a lot of extra noise will...

    Building a Light Weight tactical rifle... ideas??

    Re: Building a Light Weight tactical rifle... ideas?? I was just trying to stay on track with the OP's original plan. With that said, I wanted to recommend the Tikka as well for it's light weight. I've had a .308 Varmint for about a year now and if I do my part it will print very good...

    Building a Light Weight tactical rifle... ideas??

    Re: Building a Light Weight tactical rifle... ideas?? You could replace the Harris bipod with a GG&G lightweight unit and save some weight there. I had one on a Savage that I purchased a few years ago and it was considerably lighter than the Harris.

    Who wants clamp on muzzle brake for Tikka T3

    Re: Who wants clamp on muzzle brake for Tikka T3 I most likely will be buying a clamp on break in the very near future as I've contacted a local smith and they have yet to get back to me. IDK if there is something difficult about working on a Tikka or if they are just that covered up but I'm...

    Rifle Scopes Warne Tactical rings

    Re: Warne Tactical rings I think I'll just try my hand with lubed properly torqued fasteners first. If by chance they shoot loose I'll give Blue Loctite a second look. Thanks all for the suggestions and help.

    Rifle Scopes Warne Tactical rings

    I had to have a new set of rings and had a set in stone budget of $100. I ran across the Warne Tactical series and thought I'd give them a try. They're an all steel ring and seemed to be of very good quality. I haven't heard much about these so I was wandering what you all thought. Any first...

    Butler Creek covers

    Re: Butler Creek covers I just ordered a #11 and #43 for my new scope. I really wish I'd have seen this thread before doing so. I don't know what I'd have ordered instead but I think I'd have looked a little bit to find out what else was out there.

    DIY Surefire Flashlight Boring?

    Re: DIY Surefire Flashlight Boring? This is actually very easy to do! It does take a little time though, about 20min. on a 6P body with A19 extension attached. I purchased 120grit and 320grit 18mm brake hones off of Ebay and used them with great results. I've bored 2 6P bodies and 2 A19...
