    New to shooting, any tips on form?

    As I posted in another thread, I'm fairly new to shooting. The first gun I've ever shot was only a few months ago, and since then, I've been hooked. I've only recently picked up my first real "precision" rifle last week, a Tikka T3 in .308. I'm mainly wondering what the proper "form" is for...

    Tikka T3 in .308, what ammo does your rifle prefer

    Just got a T3, and it's my first "precision" rifle, matter of fact, it's only the 2nd firearm I own (the first is a K31). I really like shooting, and I'm trying to tighten my groups with every range trip. I've been shopping around for ammo, and I'm wondering what your T3 prefers. I recently...

    Tikka T3 in .308, constant failure to feed

    I'm using 7.62x51mm Malaysian military surplus ammo, I believe it's 147 grain. I've done some googling, and only uncovered another post: http://206.125.47.33/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1706427 For some reason, the ammo is not feeding correctly. The bolt "slips" on the ammo and...

    No sniper rifle but my Swiss K31 shoots .5 moa

    Re: No sniper rifle but my Swiss K31 shoots .5 moa Thanks GRuff. Don't know how I didn't find that, but I searched their site multiple times for "K31". I'm really tempted to order the stock tonight, and seeing if I can do what the OP did. However, I don't have much experience, or any...

    Rifle Scopes Magnification for shooting @ 600 yards

    Re: Magnification for shooting @ 600 yards Ended up going for the Bushnell 6500 2.5-16x42. Found one on samplelist for a great price ($539) at Demo-B quality. It was within my price range, so I couldn't pass it up. Thanks to all that responded; does anyone have any suggestions for rings...

    No sniper rifle but my Swiss K31 shoots .5 moa

    Re: No sniper rifle but my Swiss K31 shoots .5 moa Beautiful work, I would be loathe to drill and tap the receiver though. I feel like it would take away any resale value from the gun. About the stock though, all you did was refinish the exterior and steel bed the interior? Where did you...

    Good inexpensive vintage bolt action rifle?

    Re: Good inexpensive vintage bolt action rifle? No question, the K31 Swiss. I would spend a little more $300-$400 to get a walnut stock in a tiger pattern. However, a walnut stock rifle in good condition with a 90%+ bluing can be had for as low as $230. Pick up some Swiss 7.5x55 GP11 ammo...

    Rifle Scopes Magnification for shooting @ 600 yards

    Re: Magnification for shooting @ 600 yards Very good point. Last question, and perhaps an important point I haven't really thought of. What is the minimum magnification to resolve a bullet hole at 600 yards? What about at 200 yards? I think having the ability to see exactly where the bullet...

    Rifle Scopes Magnification for shooting @ 600 yards

    Re: Magnification for shooting @ 600 yards Thanks, that's basically what I'm asking I think I might just get the SS 3-9x42. Doesn't sound like I will be sacrificing too much with a 9x over a 12x, and a 600 yard shot definitely seems doable with a 9x scope. The 12x scope might make shooting...

    Rifle Scopes Magnification for shooting @ 600 yards

    Re: Magnification for shooting @ 600 yards Good advice. Furthest I've shot out to right now is only 200 yards, but I'm getting a membership to a 600 yard range soon. Basically, I don't have much experience in distances like that. You mentioned a 10x is "doable" at that range. Would you say a...

    Rifle Scopes Magnification for shooting @ 600 yards

    Re: Magnification for shooting @ 600 yards Target shooting at 100-600 yards at the local range, and hunting deer to about 300 yards max. I'm in Georgia, so there's pretty dense forest, lots of bush, and tons of hills; basically, a lot of cover and not a lot of open plains. Main thing is, I...
