    Sako TRG Lapua Vs Custom. What would you do?

    I'm in this same boat exactly at the moment. I have two customs as it is, one big 7, one smaller 6.5.. (like you) I'd like a "hammer" yet. Leaning very hard toward TRG myself. Following along and watching opinions*

    Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta - Professional Marksman

    Thinking outside the box, having read the article(s) that I've found on TT, and considering what went in-to the new scopes & by whom was all involved (product parts, components and the brains behind it all) I'd be willing to bet they're eyeing a stab at the same "contracts" S&B, Nightforce...

    Redding Competition Shellholder Sets (for headspace adj. w/o going the bushing die route)

    Thanks just the same, but no need for a clinical... (worded that title wrong, my mistake-- you guys got the idea/question I was trying to get across regardless) These "jobbies" (as per my above post) WILL be used as a gauge to size for two rifles of same caliber, through the same die* As you...

    Redding Competition Shellholder Sets (for headspace adj. w/o going the bushing die route)

    Appreciate the info.. I think I-will order a set. I've got 2 264's and have one going for a re-barrel in a couple weeks. Obviously is going to come back with a slightly different-spec chamber. (I kinda figured these holders might do the trick and save me re-setting every-time between...

    Redding Competition Shellholder Sets (for headspace adj. w/o going the bushing die route)

    Curious if anyone on the forum has used (or knows much) about the Shellholder sets by Redding that come in .002" to .010" thicknesses, stepped up in .002" increments ? and whether they would work with any FL dies, (or only Redding?) Seems like a great idea to tune headspace without...

    Rifle Scopes Hensoldt 4-16 NH1

    Santa was good indeed I've got mil-dot in my 4-16, & cannot tell you how much I WISH it was the NH 1..! (Were none available when I ordered) Awesome scopes regardless.. you'll find it hard to pick up your old ones after spending much time behind that Henny* ...should ask, is that the new model...

    Gunsmithing New bbl making crazy velocity/pressure at low charge weights??

    Headspace, in the case of fired-case measurements.. Basically, if my brother takes a case I fire through mine and tries to cycle it into his (like you are saying) it won't go. Gotta be fully resized and bumped back to fit. When measuring fired cases, his are fireformed roughly 2thou shorter than...

    Rifle Scopes Shot Show conversation with the Owner of Tangent Theta Scopes

    It's very encouraging to see one-more North American company providing a product to compete in the Leagues of the S&B's & Hensoldt's of the world. I've personally been a user & supporter of "european" above all others, but seeing the direction & "bull by the horns" approach TT has taken with...

    Rifle Scopes Hensoldt at SHOT

    Good to hear there will be where to send them in the case of warranty issues, if there are any that come up* Have put mine through it's paces to a fair extent this past year and it's been spot on. Would like to think if something was going to show up, it would have by now. Did you see the new...

    Rifle Scopes Hensoldt at SHOT

    I haven't seen mention whether Cassidian has a booth, nor read anything in regards to Hensoldt in any of the show reviews so far.. Would anyone know whether the new 4-16 with it's upgrades will be available in US or Canada? I see EuroOptic has the big Henny available to MIL/LE (so far/right...

    Gunsmithing New bbl making crazy velocity/pressure at low charge weights??

    I'd bet my bottom dollar it's simply a tight chamber. Brother & I had two rifles done identically (same barrel, same caliber, same action.. same reamer even!) But, barrels were chambered about 2wks apart from each other* We brought them home, started testing loads and saw the same thing. One...

    Rifle Scopes Looking for a new one piece mount

    Near manufacturing out of Alberta Canada. Very high quality, excellent guy to deal with. Fast shipping as well. I have a one piece he calls the alphamount, can get it with one or two rings up front.. whichever you prefer, usually pertaining to calibre and recoil* He makes them for picatinny as...

    Barnes LRX

    I shoot 168's through my firebird 7mm.. put an 8 twist Krieger on in anticipation for that Berger rumored to be in the works. The 1:8 works excellent with the long bearing surface of the heavy LRX bullets. I've got them chronographed at 3190-3200 and with proper brass prep am seeing some amazing...

    Sako Trg 2013 upgrades

    Any of you guys with the newer upgraded TRG's.. How would you say the dual-plunger ejectors work in that new 42bolt (vs. the old single plunger style) ?? Mine is the original single-plunger style and has a tough time flinging cases out at times. I'd sure like to know whether there's any...

    Sako TRG-S M995 in 30-378

    Also first time poster... long time reader* Definitely an excellent forum. Regards to that TRG-S, it's an excellent action. And very accurate. Handloads always will bring out the "best" when you find the barrels sweet-spot. Mine (when it wore the factory barrel) shot 1moa or so with factory...
