    Rifle Scopes Sightron Scopes

    I would go with big sky or SIII. Their lesser offerings are just average for that price point.

    Whiskey 3, XLR are the most commonly used.

    Eley Club works well in the cz455

    In my CZ 455, the Eley Club shoots as good as Lapua center X from 100 yards. At 50 yards, the Club doesn't group as good as the X.

    Tikka questions

    Tikka Performance is ran by Jason McHann. I've dealt with him several times with no issues. About the recoil lug, I've got over 600 rounds with both a 25-06 and .308 with no problems. It's $25 for a steel lug if that's a concern for you.

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell elite tactical 6-24 vs vortex viper 6-24 ffp

    I've used all these scopes. My observations: The Vortex has the best warranty out of all 3. Mine had had specks inside which they replaced quickly. Wasn't too impressed with the glass above 19x. Liked the illumination but never really needed it. The SIII had the best glass and eye box easily...

    200 Yards

    Lapua Center X or Eley Club worked for me. CZ 455 PT seem to prefer them over Wolf. As posted, depends on the individual rifle.

    Gunsmithing Tikka T3 long action to short action. What do I need?

    Thanks for the vid. Any idea on the bolt itself? Can I reuse the original?

    Gunsmithing Tikka T3 long action to short action. What do I need?

    I have Tikka T3 25-06 collecting dust that I want to convert into a short action and re-barrel to 6.5 Creedmoor. From what I gathered, I need a Release Bolt Assembly (PN# 913-400-677WB from Brownells) to change the bolt stop. What else do I need? Will the existing bolt work? Is this worth doing...

    Rifle Scopes 11mm... Why CZ? - How to top with 30mm rings that aren't crap?

    Use a picatinny rail adapter. I use EGW and have no complaints. DIP sells them as well. You can get the rails with 20 or 25 MOA cant. Do a search on the rimfire section for CZ.

    Gunsmithing Hss bolt handle

    Use gun oil. I've got bolt handles from Hinterland and other makers and none of them would go in "easily". No problems once installed.

    need help shipping to California

    I meant tell the buyer to find a FFL who will accept shipments from individuals. I recall my FFL needed a copy of the buyer's driver's license or any other official ID.

    need help shipping to California

    Ask your buyer if the CA FFL accepts shipments from individuals. You still need something like a receipt. Minimum of make, cal, selling price. I've bought rifles from other states without any issues.

    Anyone ever compare Tikka t3 vs Stiller?

    It's highly unlikely that the handle will come off. If you remove the bolt handle, you'll see the precision fit required to insert the handle back to the bolt body. I've abused the Tikka and never worried about the handle. I'm sure if you want to break it you can, but you'll snap the handle...
