    Newbie, looking at 4 cheap options, comments?

    Re: Newbie, looking at 4 cheap options, comments? edit. needed to quote. Not having a dig w/ the below post. but perhaps you need to look at what's actually involved in target/longrange shooting (500m is by no means a big distance in this world), and what it may require you to have in order...

    .223 Suggestions?

    Re: .223 Suggestions? Tikka T3 Varmint. Don't get the Scout/Tactical models. you're paying for nothing but a name and a cheap pic rail on the reciever you can get from EGW or similar for way less than you'll be paying to have the range-porn model. Action is silky smooth, barrels are the...

    Accuracy International stock on 700 just eyecandy?

    Re: Accuracy International stock on 700 just eyecandy? I've got a Roedale with Viperskins on it. Similar kind of thing. I bought it for 3 reasons. about 60% was comfort and fit, i didn't like the original stock on my Tikka about 10% was the accuracy/strength increase (which isn't much). and...

    Is .308 outclassed as a tactical match caliber?

    Re: Is .308 outclassed as a tactical match caliber? .308 is a practical round. Military loves it because of the extended barrel life which reduces costs and that it's basically an age-old standard. In all other terms, the 6mm's do alot better.

    Real quick tikka action dimension question

    Re: Real quick tikka action dimension question If you have a .308 and rebarrel to .223, you will not need to swap out the bolt stop as there will already be sufficient clearance for the bolt to feel the cartridges correctly. As you asked, yes, all T3 actions are the same size, all that...

    Why choose a folding stock?

    Re: Why choose a folding stock? Folders are prohibited here in Oz, and honest to say i've never actually gone 'damn, i wish i could make this rifle more compact.' However the ability to run 26" barrels and still fit it in a regular case would certainly be a selling point. Just remember...

    Tikka mags?

    Re: Tikka mags? Asside from length, don't think i've ever heard a complaint on Tikka mags. The only people who really complain are those who have some false belief that plastic mags are in some way inferior to metal. Gotta say, i've seen more metal mags break than decent quality plastics.

    Tikka heavy barrel

    Re: Tikka heavy barrel The T3 is totally interchangeable. If you want to rebarrel, buy the cheapest one you can find and get a new tube put on it, they're all the same. The price drop is the same as what happened with the Monaro and HSV R8/317 when they sent it to the UK Send the car over at...

    Rifle Scopes Mil/Mil scopes suggestions

    Re: Mil/Mil scopes suggestions EGW do a good 20MOA base, especially if you're on a budget. Just remember that a scope is an incredibly precise piece of engineering, designed to distort light in order to present a quality picture close up, the measurements, fit and glass all need to be...

    Tikka Sporter reports?

    Re: Tikka Sporter reports? I can't find the links to it, but a guy on the 'hide sprayed his stock flat black. Damned if it didn't look near identical to a TRG. I mean, they've got a good design that people like, and it works. So why not.

    Stolen guns!!! Update local pd found all guns

    Re: Stolen guns!!! I think details on the theif/alleged theif shouldn't be released until prosecution is completed. Just to cover your own ass. However, if it was not the ex-girlfriend that was involved i'd make sure you make it very public that it was not her. Could leave yourself wide...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Why not ccw with hand loads

    Re: Why not ccw with hand loads Legally speaking you're safest to select a firearm that is issued by a local or state agency (maybe even national), and the ammunition to match. Now CCW and pistols are heavily regulated here in Aust, but i'd still go with whatever compact is issued to police...
