    Tikka bolt knobs?..

    I can confirm that Boltfluter definitely flutes Tikka bolts and does an amazingly good job at it too. I'm also pretty sure that he does custom bolt knob work too. EDIT: 308sniper beat me to it! That's actually my Tikka T3 done by Boltfluter! I still owe him pictures of my completed rifle...

    Advanced Marksmanship Determining range using MOA reticle?

    Take a look at the manual for the scope (I can't find one online) and see if it notes where the reticle hash marks are accurate. I would bet that they're calibrated to be accurate at max magnification.

    Advanced Marksmanship Determining range using MOA reticle?

    Does the scope have variable magnification? If so, at which magnification are you taking your measurements? Since its likely a SFP scope the hash marks are only calibrated at a specific magnification level.

    Damnit, I had 5 lbs in my cart but wasn't fast enough. Was OOS by the time I clicked submit....

    Shooting Compitition in New Jersey or around the area

    Thanks for the recommendation! CJRPC has been on my to-join list for a while now, just haven't gotten around to getting to an orientation session. Wish I had did it before the fees went up though!

    Stainless tumbling options

    Potentially stupid question but i'm new to this. Wouldn't tumbling after sizing cause denting and deformities in the brass? I actually picked up this exact kit a little while ago but haven't gotten around to actually using it. Perhaps i'll set it up to run on some old brass tonight.

    Shooting Compitition in New Jersey or around the area

    Well yes, but then I won't be able to ask dumb questions in public! I'll have to submit an application to their waiting list and will likely do so shortly. Still need a sponsor though. I'll have to check out some of those matches and get myself some training as well.

    Shooting Compitition in New Jersey or around the area

    So instead of starting a new thread with the same content I figured that i'd necro this one to see if there was any new info regarding tactical-style matches in the NJ area. I've never been to a competition and wouldn't be close to competitive, I just want to have some fun! Also, anyone have...

    Tikka T3 project

    Bolt knob and shroud were both purchased from Tikka Performance Center. Unfortunately it doesn't look like either are listed there anymore. I seem to recall them being from Hinterland: Gun Parts - Bolt Handle / Shroud Combo - Tikka T3 - Hinterland Shooting Supplies

    Wierd thing happened at the range Saturday

    I've been there...once...just once....It wouldn't be so bad if the tables weren't set up 2 feet apart from each other.

    Stepping up my world.

    Wall of text incoming. I recently picked up my first precision-oriented bolt action (unless you count my K31) in .223 to act as a training rifle until I can get to a larger caliber (and access to a longer range). Since I didn't want to sink too much into it, I wanted something with better than...

    If anyone is looking for a Aimpoint Pro....

    I also have an astigmatism and contacts. Generally speaking, the dot will not appear as clear to you as it would to someone w/o an astigmatism. It may looks slightly blurry and will generally appear larger than normal. Generally, I overcome this by dialing down the brightness a notch or two...

    Show us your past Semi-Auto mistakes and learning experiences! Live & learn with pictures!

    My biggest mistake had to be the JLD Enterprises PTR91 I picked up. It was my first semi-automatic rifle. The rifle itself was great, but since I was in college and not working at the time I went as cheap as possible with various "tactical" accessories including a UTG scope and UTG clone claw...

    CZ455 Bolt Knob Install

    I'm looking to do something similar to my CZ455 Varmint SST but I'm worried about the bolt handle clearing my scope properly. Do you know if these aftermarket bolt handles will allow the bolt to clear the scope?

    Tikka T3 project

    Looks great. Can't wait till it actually comes in. Then the next huge wait is for the Manners stock I ordered.

    To Lasik, or not to Lasik....

    Does anyone have experience with LASIK to correct somewhat low levels of astigmatism (mine is something like 3.5). Also, has anyone experienced decreased night vision and/or halos?
