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

    I'm thinking about building a 6mm Creedmoor Tikka. If I used a non-CTR T3x donor, would it work in this CTR stock? I prefer the CTR mags. Bob

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 vs FNX Tactical

    All right! You guys got me off my ass and I have received a repair order to send my FNX in to FN. Hope they can get it sorted out, so many things I like about it. Bob

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 vs FNX Tactical

    So I picked up a new FNX (Venom installed) a few weeks ago. So far, I'm not impressed. It was going to be my new nightstand gun but, at this point my Kimber Super Carry Pro will keep that job. I've got over 1000 rounds through the Kimber without ever having a single malfunction with any ammo...

    Rifle Scopes Everyone’s go to rings

    I have always used the Leupold Mark 4 steel rings. They are indestructible and very well toleranced but, they are getting a little outdated in their design (big mounting nuts). For my newest project, I went with a Warne Skyline mount. Bob

    Recommendations - Scope Mount for Tikka CTR with Viper PST Gen 2

    On my 6.5CM CTR, I went with the Mountain Tactical you've linked. I chose the 20moa receiver length version. 1" tall rings will work with flip caps and a 50mm front objective lens scope. I'm running Leupold medium rings with a Bushnell XRS which are 1.1" and there's a good bit of clearance at...

    Rifle Scopes Quick look at the new Athlon Midas TAC 5-25x56 APRS3 MIL FFP HD

    This is pretty much what I measured. I got 34.5 total mils of elevation. I also played around with the zero stop and it is dead simple to operate. One other thing I noticed in comparison to the Bushnell XRS, was the resistance/dampening of the controls. They are just right on the Athlon; not...

    Rifle Scopes Quick look at the new Athlon Midas TAC 5-25x56 APRS3 MIL FFP HD

    I have to admit, it was difficult for me to buy a Athlon. While I am far from being a high end optics snob, I have been hanging out in the Bushnell Elite comfort zone for more than a decade. Truth is, I haven't been shooting for a few years and I'm just getting back into it. I kinda told this...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I installed and adjusted my Timney but, have not had a chance to get the gun back to the range. After doing some dry firing, I think this trigger is going to shrink my groups! I will definitely report back when I get a chance to test it out. Bob

    Alright, with two thumbs up (and no thumbs down), I went ahead and ordered one. Thanks guys! Bob

    Rifle Scopes Any reason not to use the Warne Skyline mount?

    Anyone have experience with these? They look decent and at a good price. Seeing them down around $170. Warne Skyline Scope Mount Bob

    Tikka T3 Thread

    So...did you get out to test these? Still curious what performed the best. I think I'm going to stick with American Gunner 140's until I'm ready to work up some hand loads. Bob

    Ballistic X - Group Size

    The internal storage issue for the Samsung Galaxy S9 series has not been fixed. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and still can't get it to create a folder. I suspect it is having an issue because my phone (S9+) is set to save all media to the SD card. Bob

    Anyone have any experience with the Savage MSR10 chambered in 6mm Creedmoor??

    Anyone??

    Rifle Scopes Illuminated reticle for PRS style matches?

    I have decided to save myself some money and give this a try. No illumination. Athlon Midas TAC 5-25x56 APRS3 FFP MIL HD Brownells had it in stock and they were offering a 10% off code today so this may just be a excellent score for the money. Of course money was not the only factor; I was...

    Anyone have any experience with the Savage MSR10 chambered in 6mm Creedmoor??

    Lots of info on the 6.5cm (Hunter mostly) but, doesn't look like anybody has reviewed the 6mm creedmoor. I'm looking at either the "Long Range" or the "Precision" model. Bob

    Rifle Scopes Illuminated reticle for PRS style matches?

    I've been watching some NRL videos on YouTube and the Vortex Razor II's seem to be very popular. Bob

    Rifle Scopes Illuminated reticle for PRS style matches?

    I've been away from any kind of precision shooting for several years and have just been getting some time to start back up over the last couple months. I have a Tikka CTR in 6.5CM that is a good shooter and I'm thinking about signing up for a league at my local range. Currently I'm shooting with...

    Rifle Scopes Brownell's 5-25x56 MPO is finally in stock!

    I see they are giving it a lifetime warranty; anyone have any idea how they will handle servicing these things? Bob

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I look forward to the report. Out of your selections, I've only shot the Hornady...and it did pretty well ( .4moa 5-round groups) in my CTR. Bob

    Realistic Lapua Budget?

    I have to disagree with this. I know far more about individual weapons now (retired 12 years ago) than I did while I was in the Army. I knew Army weapon systems and that was it! And...I would own a RPR though, for some reason, I always seem to go with something else. Bob
