    Feeling the need for a 6.5 Creed...moor. Recommendations please.

    So this, plus my own experience with my 300WM, has got me seriously thinking about learning some gunsmithing. Today I watched about four hours of how to videos on blueprinting receivers and measuring/cutting/fitting new barrels. I've done a lot of less critical machine work on my guns in the...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I've looked for that post but, haven't found it. I've got a lot going on between now and the new year so I'll probably wait to see if the new CTR inlet comes out. If they don't have it available by early January, I'll probably just mod one of the current offerings. If you can point me to where...

    How to turn your 2 MOA tomato stake into a 1/2 MOA tack driver

    I've been away from precision rifle shooting for a while so I don't know if these still exist but, there was a company that made harmonic dampers. They were basically rubber donuts that you shoved onto your barrel and they interrupted the harmonics. I never used them and I never got the...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I am completely new to Tikka's. Ordered a CTR last night and expect to swap out the stock fairly quickly. I was just reading the thread discussing KRG creating a different inlet for the Bravo so it would accept the CTR mags. Sounded like it was in the works but, based on projected date, seems to...

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

    I thought this sounded a lot like a confirmation.

    It was a hundred bucks cheaper from Classic Firearms but, shipping, insurance and FFL transfer fees would have whittled that advantage down quickly. Grab-A-Gun is local to me so I can just drop in and pick it up. Bob

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

    Just ordered my first Tikka CTR knowing that I wanted to swap it into a KRG Bravo. Glad I found this thread before ordering a chassis. Do we have a date on these? Bob

    Decision made! I just ordered the 24" Tikka CTR (black) from GrabAGun. It really came down to what I perceive as reliable accuracy. With everything I've read (and that's hundreds of pages), these guns seem to shoot well with just about any ammo and great with good ammo. I'm excited to see what...

    Is your HMR a B-14? I'm curious how the trigger is on the less expensive model? Bob

    Feeling the need for a 6.5 Creed...moor. Recommendations please.

    I took a good hard look at the 6.5PRC and have decided not to be an early adopter. I am going to stick with the 6.5 Creedmoor mostly because of the ease in obtaining factory ammo. I think I am now between three guns; -Bergara B-14 HMR -Ruger RPR -Howa Bravo I am going to try to stay on budget...

    Ruger RPR vs Hawkeye Long Range Target (6.5PRC)

    I figure I should check back in here and possibly help slow the debate. I have ruled out the Hawkeye. Honestly, the big sticking point for me is the stock and lack of aftermarket support. I've also decided not to go with the PRC chambering. I have done a fair bit of handloading in the past but...

    Ruger RPR vs Hawkeye Long Range Target (6.5PRC)

    I have absolutely no experience with Ruger rifles in any form. I don't know the history of the M77 but, I've read enough to know that historically, it was not on par with other rifles on the market. I have noticed that Ruger markets the Hawkeye line of rifles as M77 markII's. It could be just...

    Ruger RPR vs Hawkeye Long Range Target (6.5PRC)

    I asked for opinions on budget 6.5 Creedmoor rifle choices yesterday and it was suggested that I take a look at the Ruger RPR in 6.5PRC. So after reading up on the 6.5PRC, I think I "might" be interested in going that direction. Here's the thing though; I'm not really a chassis guy. My Remington...

    Great explanation! I appreciate you taking the time to lay it out like that. Sounds like I should take a look at the RPR as well. Bob

    I am on the fence as far as the RPR, mostly because of the chassis. How does the 6.5prc compare to a .300wm in terms of recoil? The main reason I'm looking for another rifle instead of rebarreling my .300 is because I really don't enjoy shooting it. Even with a good brake on it, I feel beat up...

    Okay, next question. Do I want the 20" or the 24" barrel? My heart says I want the 20" for the better balance, maneuverability and shorter gun case but my brain says the 24" will shoot better and maybe have less recoil. However...having just read Patrick Sweeney's article, "Inch by Inch", I know...

    Here, check this out. Re-Barrel at 300? HOWA 1500 6mm Creedmoor Won't Shoot! I saw an article somewhere as well but, I don't remember where. I know all gun manufacturers can have things slip through the cracks so I'm not going to say Howa have a problem. I know there are a lot of happy Howa...

    Okay, I'm really interested in going with a Tikka. The fact that I wouldn't need a new trigger effectively makes the Tikka $150-200 cheaper. I think that puts it in my price range...or at least close. Bob

    How is the factory trigger on the Tikka CTR? Looks like it comes with a scope base, is it 0moa? Bob
