    Tikka ctr magazine feed issues?

    I bent it for additional tension and for more upward pressure on the front of the follower and to keep the follower to the rear of the magazine, all of which initially felt too weak. Now both front and rear of the follower feel more similar to the mag that came with the rifle. It clearly didn’t...

    Tikka ctr magazine feed issues?

    I have a t3x ctr in 6.5cm. The mag that came with the rifle is fine, smooth and reliable. I bought a tikka factory mag new from a retailer as a second recently and had 3 separate failure to feeds in a match this weekend, all on the new mag. At first I thought it was me short-throwing the bolt...

    Source for trophies?

    Thanks! I’ll try the suggestions. Donations=a local business or sponsor who could somehow help. Not sure if its realistic, but we’ll see.

    Source for trophies?

    Our local PRS club has a season points race and want to offer trophies. Budget is an issue. We’re looking But have not found a source for a donation or something like that. Has anyone looked for trophies like this and found a good source? It looks like you can get some acrylic type trophies...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Proud owner of a new CTRx here. Upgrading a few parts here and there as I go. Question on magazines: I keep hearing people talk about the exorbitant price of CTR magazines. I’m finding them for $85-$90 each, while AICS magazines are 70 to 75. I’m not crazy about paying extra for magazines, but...

    Rifle Scopes New Athlon Cronus BTR - very weak/mushy turret detent

    Have now shot my new Cronus btr a couple times. If the $ were equal I would take the razor g2. As it was I saved $400 (over 25%) and unless something catastrophic happens I’m happy with the choice. Once I tightened the turret screws the clicks are not quite a crisp as the razor, but they are...

    Rifle Scopes New Athlon Cronus BTR - very weak/mushy turret detent

    I recently bought one from camera land, and when I got it it had the same feeling, the windage knob felt like it was missing a detent right around zero and it had some wiggle to it, about a 10th of a mil in either direction. I found several posts mentioning taking out the O-ring, but that was...

    Rifle Scopes Ring height for tikka ctr/56mm bell (cant measure yet)

    Thanks tunnah—whose high rings are you using? Seems one brands high is different from another's. Thanks!

    Rifle Scopes Ring height for tikka ctr/56mm bell (cant measure yet)

    Have a tikka CTR coming and would like to get rings on the way before I receive it. Assuming the barrel will get replaced with a larger contour at some point, what ring height are people using with this setup with a 20moa base, 56mm x 34mm scope with butler creek covers? Looking at vortex...

    PRS Talk 3-18 for PRS?

    So, it sounds like it’s pretty unanimous that it is worth sacrificing to get the additional magnification, and that while you could get away with a 3-18 it’s not what you really want long-term. Fine. I just want it understood that skimping on coffee as suggested above is unreasonable and is NOT...

    PRS Talk 3-18 for PRS?

    Im not wedded to any particular brand, but i am looking at $1k scopes such as pstg2’s, burris xtr2, some of the athlon scopes, etc and possibly stretching to get a $1.5k scope if thats what it takes to get something I’ll be happy with in the long term. I see 3-18 razor g2’s on sale for 1.5 k...

    PRS Talk 3-18 for PRS?

    Thanks guys, I guess what I’m really asking is if you had to choose between a slightly lower quality but higher powered optic, versus a better quality but slightly lower powered optic, assuming you were going to live with this as your only prs scope for at least several years, how much pause...

    PRS Talk 3-18 for PRS?

    Hoping to get some feedback. I’m a new shooter to the PRS thing, I’ve done a handful of days shooting to 1000m or so with my hunting rifle, shot a seasons worth of nrl22 matches (winter season for me) and just shot my first prs match using a borrowed rifle. Id like to put together a prs rifle...
