    Night Vision Plus and minus's on the ATN PS22 gen 2 or Armasight CO-MR Gen 2 and IR illuminator

    Thanks for the response and insight I found very informative. I'll be attaching the NV scope to my Tikka T3 .243 win with a Leupold 1-6 V6 scope. This is a light weight rig set up for hog hunting at night out at the ranch where we walk and setup between blinds throughout the night. For the...

    Night Vision Plus and minus's on the ATN PS22 gen 2 or Armasight CO-MR Gen 2 and IR illuminator

    I've moved from considering the pulsar N550/750 to considering either the ATN PS22 Gen 2 clip-on or Armasight CO-MR Gen 2+ SD Day/Night Vision Clip-On System on for night hog hunting. Pros and cons for either unit? Most of our shots are 80 to 100 yards with the max being around 175 yards. Not...

    Gunsmithing Barrel and Action cleaning

    Well said it just doesn't get any plainer or simpler. I've got to say you hit the nail solidly on the head with #1, 2, 3 & 4. Folks just don't understand or get this.

    Gunsmithing New Barrel Fouling

    The best advice I can give you is to take the rifle out and shoot the snot out of it and see how it shoots. What are the average group sizes you're getting at a given distance? Do they meet your expectations? If when you get home and you want to clean it, give it a cleaning. Stop trying to...

    Gunsmithing Macs gun works and Long range precision arms!

    If you're out in that neck of the woods send the work to Chad Dixon at LongRifles Inc in Sturgis SD. Huge sponsor here and his work is the best I've seen. He's rebuilt two rifles for me. My Tikka T3 rebuild was his first and it shoots in the .2's and .3's with a #4 barrel with little effort...

    Gunsmithing Muzzle Breaks for Missurah Mule 300 WM

    Before deciding give take a look at the muzzle break testing video's. I have a .300 WSM nicked named the mule. I've got to put a brake on it and I'm trying to do a bit of research first before going with "try this one it works great for me"! This outfit may be in Australia but it will give...

    Gunsmithing Which Product Works Best to Remove Copper Fouling?

    I made this same mistake and assumption a few years back and was corrected rather rudely by a Mr. know it all chemist that really knew his stuff. I did some checking and he was correct and I was wrong. I am by no means trying to be rude just informative. What Krieger told you about the copper...

    Gunsmithing Which Product Works Best to Remove Copper Fouling?

    Someone on the hide did a very comprehensive test using most of all the copper solvent removers a bunch of years ago. They weighed copper bullets before, during and after the tests. As I remember they used Hoppe’s, Barnes, Sweets, Montana Extreme, Boretech Elininator, Shooters Choice, Wipeout...

    Gunsmithing Objective research on Barrel Break-in procedures

    MMP, Welcome to the hide and a great response! It always amazed me how Mike could get things done in a timely fashion. Everytime I'd call him it would turn into a hour or so on the phone getting a brain dump. The man really knows his barrels and internal ballistics inside and out and sharing...

    Gunsmithing Long Rifles Inc. OR Gunwerks

    Chad's comment on the LongRifle's Inc team is spot on. During my .300 WSM and Tikka builds I heard from both Chad and John on multiple occasions about different aspects of the build. Total team operation and work that's second to none in my opinion!

    Gunsmithing Mother load muzzel brake testing

    I had considered the Vais brake in the past. I don't shoot my .300 WSM very much as it is truly abusive when you pull the trigger. Very few people who own bigger boomers want to shoot the .300 a second or 3rd round, but it is a tac driver. As I was telling my bubby about this video, the Vais...

    Gunsmithing Mother load muzzel brake testing

    I have a .300 WSM that Chad Dixon rebuilt. I call it the mule, he flat out called it one of the most abusive rifles he's ever had the displeasure of shooting. I think she'll be wearing a new QuatroMax break in the very near future. If I could get 73% or more reduction in recoil that rifle, it...

    Gunsmithing L/H Stiller TAC 30 TITANIUM Bedding Block...

    Chad, as always great work and finish. Question, once the bedding block is fitted to the stock and barrel action is installed, how will the bedding block compare to your epoxy bedding jobs? Besides price:) Do you feel it will be just as tight and reliable?

    New Tikka t3 lite on the way and a few questions on upgrades

    For me I'm not a fan of the CDI bottom metal if you have a Tikka T3 lite. If this is a hunting rifle it's a heavier addition plus you have to have the stock inletted. There's a company called Alutek that makes an aluminum bottom metal factory replacement for the T3's Welcome to AluTek. This...

    SAC: Recent Tikka T3 builds

    Mark, Quick question. I love my Tikka, hands down the best rifle I've ever owned and the best action I've ever used for a custom build. My only complaint with the action is the barrel lug system. I know it works because they all shoot well out of the box. In the factory stock I found it to...

    Tikka T3 Light Project

    It would be nice to know what your requirements are with this rifle. Making an assumption and only an assumption, seeing it's a T3 lite in 7mmag, it’s not a tactical rig and it's a bit much for being a paper puncher so I’m betting something you’re using it for deer, elk and/or hogs. 1+ on...

    Gunsmithing Re-barrel a Tikka T3 lite

    Savages, I think you need to change your SH name to "Tikka's"! Bottom line these are great shooting rifles right out of the box and make an outstanding platform to build a custom rifle. I've already ordered my new McMillan flat top stock for the next build. I'm currently looking for a used...

    Gunsmithing Re-barrel a Tikka T3 lite

    Here’s my thought on rebuilding my Tikka and aftermarket accessories. When I first bought my Tikka and shot it, it shot in the .6’s to .8’s depending on what I fed her. For hunting it met my requirements for being lightweight and accurate. What I really loved was how slick the bolt was when I...
