    Rifle Scopes Happy New Years Hiders! Time for Change

    Scott, I bought stuff from you as late as 2013. But since 2015, I've bought only 3 scopes. Vortex Razor 3-18x50mm Used here on the Hide, Steiner 3-15x50mm T5Xi Used here on the Hide, and a Bushnell 3-12x44mm LRHS Used on Gun Broker. The used prices were so low and the scopes had so little...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Mounting/Eye Relief

    For a cheap and quick raise the comb I use this cut to length: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Frost-King-0-75-in-x-6-ft-Foam-Plumbing-Tubular-Pipe-Insulation/3130471 Due to compress-ability I'd use 3/4" thick foam when I want to raise the comb 1/2". I cover the Pipe insulation with one of these...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Let's be clear here; a Medium Palma is 0.820" @ 30". Due to taper @ 20" a medium Palma would be quite thicker. A Light Palma is 0.750" @30". My Tikka CTR 260 Barrel measures 0.790" just aft of the threaded portion. So a CTR barrel is more like a 30" Light Palma cut to 20". Which is a fine...

    Tikka T3X TAC A1

    10 round Tikka CTR / TAC A1 Magazines are $72.43 or about the same price as AICS 5 round magazines. AICS 10 round magazines are not only more expensive than Tikka CTR mags, they are also 4.64" tall vs Tikka's 3.20" Tall. Original unmodified AICS mags allow a max COAL of 2.880" Tikka CTR mags...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell LRHS Zero Stop Issue

    Contact Bushnell. Here's a partial e-mail sent to a user on another site: Just wanted to touch base with you. With the early LRHS optics and several of the Elite Tactical’s they used a 50 spline turret, which could cause issues with the turret seating/locking in true .1 mil increments. We have...

    Rifle Scopes best low light rifle scope--no budget

    Schmidt and Bender Klassic 7x50mm or 8x56mm with L3 Illuminated reticle. These are what European Hunters use from elevated stands in night time conditions. Fixed power scopes have fewer lenses and allow more light to be transmitted than variables...

    Newbie ring search

    Anywhere from 0.90" to 1.00" to the middle of the ring will work fine. I really liking Burris new options with their XTR Signature Rings. Their 34mm 1.0" height should work fine for your application. You can even add another 10 to 15 MOA, for a total of 30 to 35 MOA of cant with the supplied...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Tikka Spec's for the T3X TAC A1 say it's Blued Steel, not Stainless Steel. Same finish as the regular T3x TAC. http://cdn1.tikka.fi/sites/default/files/technicalspecs_t3x_tac-a1.pdf http://cdn1.tikka.fi/sites/default/files/technicalspecs_t3x_tac_0.pdf...

    Brief Range Report: Tikka T3x CTR 6.5 CM

    A couple of small points: The new Tikka CTR mag (with plastic baseplate) will not fit a Sako TRG 22. However, SAKO TRG 22 mags will fit in the Tikka CTR. The plastic baseplate prevents the Tikka CTR mag from fitting a TRG 22. Eurooptics sells TRG 22 10 round Mags for $193.10, but the similar...

    Who has built a "do it all" rifle?

    My "Do it All Rifle" is an older style Tikka T3 Stainless in 260 Rem. I mounted a slightly used Bushnell 3-12x44mm LRHS that I snagged off of Gun Broker. Since the CTR's stainless base is 0 MOA I mounted the Bushnell in a pair of Burris XTR Signature Rings using supplied inserts to give me 30...

    ARC M10 rings - medium?

    A 60mm Objective is 2.36". Half of that is 1.18". That's all you have to overcome, with the ring height and the base height. I don't know what Defiance Deviant Tactical action base height is, but it looks at least 0.30" tall and it may be taller. I can only guess at the height of the rail cause...

    MDT .223/5.56 magazines

    Since the KRG X ray chassis is made for both Rem 700 and Tikka T3 actions it helps to distinguish which you are planning to use. As a "general rule" plastic/polymer mags do not fit into Tikka T3 actions without the feed rails being opened up a bit. The feed rails are narrower on the Tikka's than...
