    Tikka T3 Thread

    I just saw this, good info for those wanting to jump up to a magnum. I think most of this has been covered at some point in the thread but he brings it all together. Bob

    KRG Bravo for CTR that can take TRG/CTR mags?

    I would have preferred the FDE but, I didn't want to keep waiting and have them run out again before I could get my current project together. Figured I could just paint it. Bob

    Gunsmithing Can I use my shop press for a barrel vise?

    Are they torqued on tight or is it a thread locker that makes them so tight? Bob

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Midas Tac - High Value Glass

    I looked at the Ares ETR several times and almost bought one but, the timing was perfect for the new 5-25x56 Midas TAC and I went with it instead because I didn't need illumination. I will just say that I've never been able to look through both scopes at the same time but, I believe the glass is...

    Gunsmithing Can I use my shop press for a barrel vise?

    Getting ready to do my first barrel swap on a brand new Tikka. I'd like to keep the factory barrel in pristine condition so I can offer it up in the exchange. I have a big shop full of equipment (but no barrel vise) and I was thinking that I could pair a couple aluminum blocks in the mill and...

    Preferred barrel blanks (the company)

    Disappointing but, from what I've seen reported, they will make it right. Bob

    I don't. It didn't work for me so I went with a different setup. Bob

    On my CTR with 20moa Mountain Tactical base and factory barrel, a 56mm objective will clear with the .92" rings but, a scope cap won't. You would have slightly more room with the barrel on the lite. I'm probably not any help. Bob

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I don't think there is much to be gained in terms of accuracy by changing out the factory barrel if you're just shooting factory loads. I'm really not even sure you will gain much on handloads by upgrading the barrel...under ideal conditions. Where I think an upgraded barrel will help is on a...

    Selecting the right 6mm creedmoor barrel

    From what I've read, the 3r is a little faster than 5r and the 5r is a little faster than a traditional 6groove. I tend to stay in the tried and true camp rather than be an early adopter and there's just not much info out there on 3r for long range shooting. I am going to install it myself...

    Selecting the right 6mm creedmoor barrel

    I contacted X-Caliber and asked about the 8twist with 5r and they got back to me right away and said they have it, leaving it off was an oversight and they will be adding it to the menu shortly. So...24", 5r, 8twist, heavy palma. Bob

    Selecting the right 6mm creedmoor barrel

    I just don't know much about them. I've read a couple opinions about how they reduce deformation and thereby reduce pressure. Apparently they are popular for solid copper bullets which, I've never shot. Beyond this, I know nothing about them. Bob
