    Tikka T3X Custom?

    Do it and let me know how you like the Red Snake metal! Im partially waiting on my raise at work... I've already got the position and been in it for about 18 months, right now they're just cheating me out of 3 and a half an hour...

    Tikka T3X Custom?

    Yeah I'd only do it if I could go long action. I wouldn't care if I had more than 5 rounds or not, but the tapered case causing an issue hadn't even occurred to me. The MDT LA magazine's have a max case length of 3.470" so I'd be able to load them much longer than I'd want to. I have been...

    Tikka T3X Custom?

    Huh, I thought the 6.5x55 wasnt imported here. I'll have to try to find one!

    Tikka T3X Custom?

    That's been one of my considerations. I know CDI made a long action bottom metal, unfortunately it sounds like the owner passed away last year... I think MDT(?) Makes a long action AICS style magazine, and I came across that red snake company who makes long action metal so I may give them a shot.

    Tikka T3X Custom?

    I've got a Tikka in 30-06, and I took a 6.5x55 round and it fits just fine on the bolt, so I dont think I'd have to open it up at all. Ive read that the 6.5-284 is also quite the barrel burner? Can anyone confirm or is that just an unfounded rumor?

    Tikka T3X Custom?

    I'm aware. Unfortunately they dont offer any of the varmints, CTR's, or any of the tacticals. Basically nothing with a heavy profile barrel which is what I'm looking for.

    Tikka T3X Custom?

    Fortunately for myself, I reload almost everything I shoot. Only real exceptions being 9mm and 223, as its just not worth my time. So part of the reason I decided on the 6.5x55 is IMO its an equal to the CM if you reload. I don't have anything against the creedmoor, I guess I just want to do...

    Tikka T3X Custom?

    Hey, so I've got an idea and looking for everyone's input on it... I've always had a fascination with the 6.5x55 round, and now that the Creedmoor is out, it makes me want one more. What I'd like to do is take a Tikka, and rebarrel it for the 6.5 Swede with either a Bartlein or maybe a Krieger...

    Gunsmithing AR10 bipod mounting

    I realize this is an old thread, but hows the BT46 treating you? I just put together an AR10 and I'm wondering if that's the way I want to go or if I'd be better off with the 7-13" version. I mostly use 20 round mags for what its worth.

    After a brief conversation with Doug, I have a Helos on the way!

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Argos BTR Gen 2 vs Helos BTR

    Is it the Gen I or Gen II Argos you have? Rumor has it they improved the turrets on the 2nd gen Argos. If the glass is the same I'd probably go with the Argos just because the zero stop means more to me than locking turrets.

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Argos BTR Gen 2 vs Helos BTR

    I'm looking for a new scope for an AR10, and these two are my most likely candidates. Curious if anyone has experience with them. I understand the Argos has a zero stop, the helos does not but has locking turrets. How does the glass compare? They're roughly the same price via CameraLandNY...

    Rifle Scopes Stimulus Well Spent!

    Jealous! My plan was either a scope or S&W revolver. Long story short, stabbed myself in the wrist and now I'm having surgery Tuesday to fix a nerve.

    Rifle Scopes Brown Athlon Ares ETR UHD 4.5-30x56 review

    Awesome writeup, thanks Steve. I'll be getting one in the next few weeks based on this and every other review I've read. One question regarding the illumination, are the numbers illuminated as well, or is it just the main hashes, or does light bleed off from the reticle onto the numbers? Wont...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares ETR vs BTR?

    Hey, just thought I'd let everyone know I gave Doug a call at Cameraland, and I'm pretty sold on the ETR. I've got a revolver I'm looking to sell, and once that's gone that'll be my scope fund and I'll give him another call! Thanks again for all the help folks!

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares ETR vs BTR?

    Wow, let me start by saying thanks for all the quick and detailed responses! I posted the same question over on the arfcom about a week ago with none so far. Joshuaray83, thanks for the clarification on the light transmission, and thanks for the link. DIBBS I was looking at the Vortex lineup...

    Optics SOLD- Athlon Cronus BTR 4.5-29

    Hi, do you know about how old the scope is?

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares ETR vs BTR?

    Hey folks, I've been curious about these two scopes, unfortunately I dont have a dealer local to me. I'll be putting something on an AR10 in 308, and I think these two are the biggest contenders unless someone has another recommendation up to that $1200 price point. Pretty much put the rifle...
