    Gunsmithing eezox used as a lubricant?

    Would this be good to lubricate as well as a cleaner, and rust inhibitor? I've been using CLP and decided to order some eezox to try. Also, will it work on the slide of my M&P 40 or should a light coat of grease be used on the slide instead? All advice is appreciated!

    Tikka Factory Barrel Quality

    I've owned a t3 lite in 25-06 that was a tack driver and now have a t3 deluxe in 270 Win. that's also, a tack driver. I saw a program on the Sportsman's channel a while back where the host took a tour of the Beretta plant and they said Sako 85 barrels were used on the Tikka t3 rifles I assume...

    Remington 700 SPS Tactical or Savage Model 10 "T" tactical?

    I removed the stock and was able to loosen the pull weight screw on the inside pretty easily so the external trigger screw, could be screwed in so it didn't stick out and used both, screws to get the trigger like I wanted. On my Lyman digital scale it measures a little over 2lbs pull weight and...

    tikka t3 recoil lug question

    When I got my t3 Deluxe in 270 win, I wondered the same thing so rather than keep wondering I just went ahead and ordered a steel one to maybe, ensure the same accuracy with each shot. JMHO

    Maximum kill range on whitetail with 270 win. using handloads

    I should have been more specific with my question I'm mainly interested in the approximate, longest range this particular caliber will maintain enough ft /lbs of energy to make an ethical humane kill. I realize, there are a lot of variables depending on bullet weight, design, etc. The only loads...

    Rifle Scopes need help with Nikon Monarch III 4x16x42 adj.

    I think I'll experiment with it the next time I'm out shooting it and see what kind of results I come up with. I'll make sure I move my head around as I check for parallax after adjusting to see if it changes that any. This is the only scope I've ever owned that does this. Thanks folks! I...

    Rifle Scopes need help with Nikon Monarch III 4x16x42 adj.

    I originally, set the fast focus eye ring looking at the sky for the sharpest, clearest reticle as most manufacturers suggest. The other day I decided to turn the adjustment ring while looking at my 100 yd. target. The strange thing was it was like turning the power setting up and down? I was...

    Info request: Out of the box accuracy - CZ455 vs Savage Mk II

    The only 22LR rifle I own any more is my Anschutz 1710 d hb. I've owned a few CZs in 22LR that for the money, I thought were very good shooters. The only distance I've ever shot with my rimfires though, was 50yds. so I can't comment on any 100yd. groups from any of them.

    Gunsmithing Trouble fitting Weaver#61 bases on a Tikka t3 Deluxe in 270 win.

    Well, I found out anything before 2004 uses metric and anything after, uses 6-48 thread the only thing is I don't know how to tell how old mine is by the serial number. I bought mine new but, it was (old stock) and was sitting on the rack a long time. I got it home and removed the bolt to give...

    Gunsmithing Trouble fitting Weaver#61 bases on a Tikka t3 Deluxe in 270 win.

    The factory aluminum clamp on rings are soft and allowed the scope to slide through them and also, the aluminum allen head screws that tighten to the base stripped out the heads. I found a set of Weaver #61 flat bottom bases that are suppose to work but, the screws feel like they might be too...

    How tight should Tikka t3 deluxe wood stock recoil lug fit?

    This is where I got the lug from https://tikkaperformance.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=448 I don't know if they can tell me how to go about bedding the lug or not I thought maybe I could use J&B Weld since I can get it local and it shouldn't take very much?. Wish I'd known...

    How tight should Tikka t3 deluxe wood stock recoil lug fit?

    This is a new gun just (old stock) manufactured in 2007. I had a t3 lite 25-06 at one time in synthetic and it was a bear to get the barreled action out of the stock and back in. It seemed to be because of the recoil lug to stock fit. With this new t3 Deluxe model 270 win. in wood stock the...

    Rifle Scopes Sightron SII 36X42 brd satin finish Warranty Ques

    I made a trade online for one of these model scopes but, no matter how I adjust the AO through it's 720 degree rotation it just will not focus clear at any range/setting seems to look way to white with no contrast or clarity. I compared it to my Weaver t36 36x40 and the Weaver is so much clearer...
