    My Tikka Project Is Done (after nearly 18 months)!

    I was thinking of the Tikka Sporter as well. But I can't get past the orange. And I'm a Texas Longhorns fan. I'd be interested to find out if you were able to sell the OEM stock. I liked the way it felt. I was thinking of putting a cerakote on the OEM stock. Wonderful job.

    Need Help with Caliber Choice, .260?

    Okay. well that pricing sounds reasonable. Online I found some less expensive stuff for around $20-25, but some of the match grade ammo was pushing $60. So it was hard for me to tell what a good representative price would be. Good to know. As far as budget, I say roughly: $1500 or so for the...

    Need Help with Caliber Choice, .260?

    I should mention I'm going to be liquidating some of my rather pricey photography toys. So those funds will be lost to the myriad family expenditures or put into nice equipment. Hence my interest in buying equipment above my skill level.

    Need Help with Caliber Choice, .260?

    In case you missed my intro, I am a new member, and completely green. I am going to make my initial equipment purchase (everything, rifle, scope, etc.) My use will include hunting whitetail deer here in Texas but primarily work at the range to become a proficient marksman. I'm most interesting...

    New guy, green as hell from Austin, TX

    Thanks. I'm trying not to jump in head first, but it's tough for me. I've started by going to the range with a friend just as you suggested. I've been about 3 times so far. Unfortunately my friend has a 300 win mag. Holy crap! Not the gun to start with that's for sure. He does have a .22 with...

    New guy, green as hell from Austin, TX

    Hello everyone. I'm brand new to shooting and am looking forward to getting into it. Let me start by saying I don't know a damn thing about shooting. I'll do my best to listen to advice given. That being said, I've been researching like crazy about marksmanship fundamentals and the right...

    SIG SSG 3000 Rifles

    Damn! I was really kinda hoping for a crappy review, mostly because of the weight. I'm going to be using this next purchase primarily at the range and to learn to shoot a bit more long range, but I am going to hunt a bit. For the versatility and the weight, I've been leaning toward a Remington...

    Sig SSG 3000 Patrol 18"

    Sweet! I can't wait to hear more feedback and how it shoots! I had no idea it would come with a hard case. I expected it would not for that price. Does that cheek pad feel solid when secured? That part looked a bit flimsy. Does it feel uncomfortable handling from a standing position...

    SIG SSG 3000 Rifles

    I hear ya. As I've mentioned in a different post I'll be very interested to see feedback on this. My only with it is the weight at 12lbs. I was hoping to buy a .308 for hunting as well as range work. I can't imagine lugging that thing around all day.

    Sig Sauer SSG 3000 Patrol?

    I'm interested in the SSG 3000. But I've read on a few forums that it's not that well suited for long range (800-1000 meters) and better suited for law enforcement applications. They mentioned the specific rail that the SSG has. I'm afraid those specifics are a bit over my head. If I want to get...
