    Tikka T3 Varmint Owners - Stock Replacement -Gains

    Re: Tikka T3 Varmint Owners - Stock Replacement -Gains My Scout averaged <0.5" @ 100 and ~1.1" at 200 yards with handloads in OEM form. I gained no accuracy improvement from the XLR chassis except weight & ergonomics I did not enjoy as much as I already had in OEM form. As mentioned above...

    Tikka T3 Scout/Tactical Scope Rail Question...

    Re: Tikka T3 Scout/Tactical Scope Rail Question... Yes! Great clarification the EGW HD is worth the extra cost. Do yourself another favor and get Limbsaver recoil pad part #10011 or 10112 (same template) -- you will not enjoy shooting that rifle with the junky factory pad that feels like...

    Tikka T3 Scout/Tactical Scope Rail Question...

    Re: Tikka T3 Scout/Tactical Scope Rail Question... You again! Awesome to hear you were able to get one today! The front screw that's in half-way and doesn't screw into the action is to attach a mirage band. As already posted, EGW is your best bet if you want an economical 20MOA rail.

    NEED HELP FINDING A TIKKA T3 SCOUT CTR IN .308

    Re: NEED HELP FINDING A TIKKA T3 TAC!!! I live across the street from Cabela's in Glendale AZ. They have CTR Scout 308 in stock I think for $899. The Tactical 308 was on clearance for $1299 if I remember. I think they are willing to do FFL-to-FFL sale transfers through the Gun Library...

    problems while installing TRG ATB bipod bracket

    Re: problems while installing TRG ATB bipod bracket If you don't want to torch direct, try laying a hot clothing iron laid against the frame for about 15-20 minutes. This also works great on the OEM picatinny rail if you have to remove it.

    Rifle Scopes Change of Ring Height

    Re: Change of Ring Height Caliber? Ammo load? MV? How much elevation til you max out with current set up? If you're the typical 308 shooter pushing 175 SMK at 2650fps, you will need about 10.2-10.6 mil or 35-36 MOA to reach 1000 yards based on elevation, temp, etc. Your signature block says...

    Rifle Scopes Leveling new scope?

    Re: Leveling new scope? I use two cheap aluminum line levels (~$2 each) from Home Depot that look exactly like the pic below. I support the rear of the stock to level the rifle base in both front-back and left-right plane before leveling/mounting the scope. That way, the level will show...

    Rifle Scopes Help with magnification choice...

    Re: Help with magnification choice... I bought a PR 5-25x and absolutely hated the size and extra weight of the scope--though even the PR 3-15x is simply too heavy. Never used it past 15-16x. Sold it and everything I own now is 4-16x. Works good shooting to 1100 yards & can easily see...

    Triad Stock Pack vs. TacOps Cheek Pad

    Re: Triad Stock Pack vs. TacOps Cheek Pad Frogman77 hit the nail on the head -- get Triad if you want a large pack, TacOps if you want a small pack. Other deciding factor may be because the pack on the TacOps is lower, it's a lot easier to use from the weak-side. The Triad is too high and...

    M40A1, who uses them for precision shooting

    Re: M40A1, who uses them for precision shooting My favorite fit is also HTG-styled in the Manners MCS-T. I feel more comfy behind it than the McM A-series. My roommate loves his rifle in McM HTG over the A-series also. In regards to body size, I'm short and he's really tall.

    TRG Mags very expensive, maybe a group buy??

    Re: TRG Mags very expensive, maybe a group buy?? FWIW my TRG22 takes AICS 10-rounders without modification & works reliably. It's personal choice, but I only use TRG mags cause I prefer the flush fit. I've got 4 TRG mags lying around but have never needed more than 2...

    Best .308 for under $3500?

    Re: Best .308 for under $3500? I always look forward to VJJ's thoughts on these questions! $3500 for rifle only will buy 95% of rifles at retail or used pricing -- pick one with a good factory/smith reputation thats purty to you. FWIW I used to like it more but have since come to like...

    new bolt gun for wife

    Re: new bolt gun for wife Some good points up there, but you specifically say "500 yards nothing longer" and "no hunting." 223 is the clear winner. I don't see any case for 243. - Match ammo availability - Ammo cost - Barrel life - Effective beyond 500 yards Because the 223 is not as LR...
