    Rifles you have, but don't like.

    Savage Model 12 Varminter Low Profile in 204. I bought it in college and put it in a boyds thumbhole pepper laminate stock. I thought it was the coolest rifle back when I had no money and knew zero about rifles. It shoots really good and is killer on prairie dogs but compared to my other rifles...

    I made a stock

    I saw this thread a while back and was really impressed by the finished stock. Then I just heard you talking about it on the hornady podcast. Pretty sweet! Excellent work!

    Best semi auto 20 ga for squirrel

    I recently picked up a 20ga Beretta A300 Ultima and have been very impressed. I have a older 20ga Beretta 391 urika (best shooting auto made, just my opinion) and they are extremely similar. I've shot some skeet and sporting with it and I really like the way it shoots. Been 100% with everything...

    (New) Ultimatum DeFacto action (Tikka T3) Barreled action+trigger deal

    Ultimatum probably could've used you on their team two years ago when they announced the defacto! 😂

    (New) Ultimatum DeFacto action (Tikka T3) Barreled action+trigger deal

    That's what I'm thinking, and mine is a 223, so not lot of recoil or anything. But I agree, rough and not ideal.

    (New) Ultimatum DeFacto action (Tikka T3) Barreled action+trigger deal

    Damn, I just dropped mine off at my local gunsmith to inlet my chassis for the safety. Definitely going to take a look at that when I get it back. I noticed marks there but didn't really think twice about it. Say the threads are busting through, and while I'd say that is rather poor design, and...

    (New) Ultimatum DeFacto action (Tikka T3) Barreled action+trigger deal

    That's what I still need to do to the chassis. But I'll update once I get that done!

    (New) Ultimatum DeFacto action (Tikka T3) Barreled action+trigger deal

    I picked up my 223 defacto two days ago. It's pretty sweet so far. I've got a couple things to do to make everything work with the x-ray, but nothing too out of the ordinary I'd say. I'll try to update once I get it all worked out.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    The barrel & barrel nut is 2lbs - 2oz. I actually did weigh it individually. I'll attach my list of parts, I apologize its a little convoluted now since I've changed a few things. Honestly, I've only shot it once without the suppressor as a test fire when I put the new barrel on. It's certainly...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I had the factory bolt fluted by @LongRifles Inc. (pattern A, high helix) and then I cerakoted it black myself. Pretty simple but man I like the look of it!

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    Thanks! Total weight is 9lbs 1oz as it sits in the picture except without the mag. I don't think you'll be disappointed, I really like mine.

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    It does, it is one of their tikka prefits. I used an IBI barrel nut specifically but there are plenty of other options. I believe it took 8 weeks, they had quoted me 10-12 weeks so I was pretty happy with that. I did not pay extra to expedite it.

    KRG X-RAY rear stock vs bravo?

    Haha, I just wish I had been blessed with the other thing that big hands implies 😂

    KRG X-RAY rear stock vs bravo?

    I'll go ahead and be the opposing voice, I have a couple bravos and an X-ray. While I find all three very comfortable, I do prefer the bravo shape. Also, for what it's worth, I do have the large grips on my X-ray, which I prefer over the smaller grips.

    Ultimatum Precision…Gone or ????

    Huh, this gives me a hope, a little bit anyways. I had pretty much written off ever getting a defacto or my money back.

    Hand Carved Hunting Rifle

    That is a stunning stock and impressive Craftsmanship! While I love black rifles and modern precision rifles, my roots are in traditional shotgun sports where wood and blued steel are still king. There is nothing better than a hand crafted stock with an exquisite wood blank such as this!
