    “Hearing Safe” Cans for 6.5 CM bolt rifle?

    Why LT over L on bolt gun? Slower rate of fire, heat not that big of an issue with bolt guns? about 6 oz of savings there, but what do you give up in durability? As I see it, we may not be able to buy these things in the future, so might be worth getting a more tough unit? I don't own one yet...

    “Hearing Safe” Cans for 6.5 CM bolt rifle?

    Been talking to a guy at the gun shop. He was educating me on the Diligent (since I just heard about it from that shop a few days ago). Says he is selling alot of them. People going in and buying over Nomad-L for about $300-400 less. A year or two from now, we may not be able to buy suppressors...

    Experiences with DPG and Kenny

    I know nothing about the guy, besides his youtube channel. Seems to be getting good results. I like watching his videos. I am thinking about redoing my V22, talked to DI (I think Mike Lott). He spent a good 30 minutes chatting with me and I'm convinced if I upgrade, he is getting my business...

    Tuner question for guys with 1.2” or heavier straight contour barrels.

    would love to hear how it shoots without it. Any chance you can get your buddy to test it out for us? I have been thinking about going DI route, but question if the tuner is really needed to achieve the kind of precision we are after. It would be nice to see some groups with and without the...

    Pros and Cons of these two options

    I have a Tikka 223. I think I will stick with Tikka for now. Would love a CDG, prefit, chassis, etc. but I don't shoot enough to put that much in the gun. You guys basically reinforced what I knew deep down....Tikka = Better. I'm pretty sure Tikka CTR will give me the kind of accuracy I want...

    Pros and Cons of these two options

    Option 1: Tikka CTR 6.5 CM in chassis, keep barrel- Cheapest would be around $1700 (oryx chassis or X-ray for a little more money) Option 2: Howa 1500 6.5 CM, in the same chassis as Tikka. This is much cheaper, about $900. Assuming in this configuration I'm not happy with the barrel, lots of...

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    Thanks. I suspect a little while means a long while. Given there is a 4 months delay in getting the action. I was going to do a 6.5 on this action, but I may just do a "budget" long range rifle and eventually upgraded the barrel.

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    ARC- when do you expect to offer barrelled actions and whose barrels do you expect to be using?

    Your PVA prefit experience

    My tikka isn't threaded, so can't put anything on it. If it was threaded, I'd explore the tuner option you mentioned or the EC tuner brake. Local gunsmith wasn't close to $200 to thread the barrel.

    Your PVA prefit experience

    Does anyone with the PVA barrels shoot factory ammo? Trying to see how they perform with match factory ammo. I have never shot any group bigger than .75 (often smaller) with my tikka using factory match ammo. Would I see a significant improvement going with a PVA? If most of the benefit of the...

    Preferred barrels

    thanks. They did not included the T3x in the list of actions they make prefits for. Several other Tikka actions on there though.

    Ruger American 22lr rifle suggestion

    I would go savage over Ruger also. Just read too many negatives on Ruger. I know too many people with Savage guns and they shoot well enough for the most.

    Preferred barrels

    Looking to upgrade a T3x. I was looking at my barrel options. Seems like preferred barrels has good stuff. One option was threading, which which I want for a suppressor. Looks like they only offer class 2A threading. Competitor barrel makers offer 3A. Is 2A acceptable for suppressors? Assume it...

    Gunsmithing Viper barrel vise or bench vise with inserts??

    Are you using shouldered prefit or nut prefit? Which barrels are you going with? I like the idea of shouldered but not sure anyone makes it for the tikka. Usually they are made for the custom actions with tighter tolerances.

    Gunsmithing Viper barrel vise or bench vise with inserts??

    What's the biggest diameter barrel you can use with the viper? If I want to install heavy varmint barrels, will I be able to? I think most barrels are around 1.250 right at the action side...not sure though.
