    Rifle Scopes Brownell’s Match Optic

    Yeah I forgot to add that part to my post- the good news is Brownell's has one of the best warranty policies in the business and they will absolutely give you a new one and keep doing it until you're happy. (At least as I understand it.)

    Rifle Scopes Brownell’s Match Optic

    I got the 5-25x56mm MPO about two months ago and it's the finest scope I've ever owned. Amazing. I am absolutely loving it. I admit fully, there are better scopes. I am a blue-collar, Joe Sixpack kind of guy. I will never own a Schmidt & Bender PMII or Steiner M7X1 or NightForce ATACR etc...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Argos BTR Gen 2 vs Helos BTR

    I recently got an Athlon Argos BTR 6-24x50mm for the Tikka T3X UPR .308 that I also ordered. Because I ordered the rifle, a ton of accessories, some extra ammo, etc. all at the same time, (and having just dealt with Christmas...) - I had very little to spend and decided that the ~$300 for that...

    Muzzle Brake & Crush Washer questions-

    Profound, profound answer. Thank you for your help. Your family must be so proud of your arrogance and ignorance. And people wonder why there is such a negative view of this community on all the other firearms websites. I myself came here for some help with a new purchase, and you've been...

    Rifle Scopes Brownells MPO vs. Tract

    I myself just ordered an MPO a few hours ago - and was unfamiliar with Tract, to be quite honest. Having read up a little, they do seem quite impressive. I believe it would have been several hundred dollars more - perhaps not exactly a deal-breaker for me, but a consideration nonetheless ...

    Muzzle Brake & Crush Washer questions-

    Because until about an hour ago, I did fully intend to remove the brake - regularly - because as I understand it, they are considerably louder and can even cause pain to people next to me shooting, sometimes even with hearing protection. Having learned that it's not exactly a 'plug-and-play'...

    Muzzle Brake & Crush Washer questions-

    OK roger that -thank you very much and to everyone .... I want to shoot it once or twice without installing it yet - so I can judge how much an effect the LimbSaver AirTech pad makes, and then once installing it I'll keep it on - Thank you to everyone again!

    Muzzle Brake & Crush Washer questions-

    Fair enough everyone thank you very much ... I don't think I have a specific action wrench or barrel vise - I know my father has a pretty big vise in his garage, and many other tools I could probably borrow. I didn't realize it was something that requires 'torqueing down' - and I didn't know...

    Muzzle Brake & Crush Washer questions-

    Hi all- I was hoping I could draw on the brain trust here and gain a little insight and knowledge on the subject of muzzle brakes, especially in concern with crush washers. I recently bought a new Tikka T3X UPR and am very happy with it. However, in an effort to mitigate 308 recoil as much as...

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

    I am sorry to bump up an old thread - but just for ya'lls information - I just ordered a Brownells 5-25x56 MPO ... I have been looking at different scopes every night for a week or two, and every single night I decided on one which *is IT!!!* ... but I tell myself, wait till tomorrow, think...

    Lucas Gun Oil

    I'm literally sniffing an open bottle of Lucas Gun Oil right now, like I was trying to inhale cocaine of a stripper, and it has no discernable odor whatsoever that I can tell. And to each their own - I never knock someone for liking or preferring one thing over another. I remember in the...

    Lucas Gun Oil

    I *really* like it. I was always a fan of the little bottles of (clear) RemOil with Teflon - it's extremely light stuff that disappears quickly but supposed contains a fair amount of PTFE that stays behind ... I always like using it and occasionally a little Hoppe's which is more...

    Sako TRG 22 opinions

    You know, to be honest, I did not know that fact, but I have always really admired the Tikka Sporter - it's beautiful - and it has occurred to me that the two looked very much alike ... It does seem like the Sako TRG stock as an artificial-material (I don't know if it's 'plastic' or 'polymer' or...

    Sako TRG 22 opinions

    I just wanted to throw my two cents in - well maybe four cents, possibly even a nickel- A Green Sako TRG 22 in 308 is one of my absolute dream rifles - perhaps the dream rifle of my list - other than perhaps a real-deal M24 SWS, M40, or M25 White Feather (with the camo McMillan stock) - maybe...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Really, quite a bit! Let me be honest - I'm not exactly some sort of experienced sniper. I have a decent firearms background but I got my first .308 only about 7 years ago. That was a Remington 700 AAC-SD 308 ... I was very excited about it, 20" Heavy Barrel, etc. and put it in a Manners T5A...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Thank you very very much! That is actually one of the main reasons I had to buy it - Tikka/Sako muzzle brakes were $100-$150, some of the name-brand brakes go as high as $300, and this was TWENTY BUCKS and 5 star reviews on just about everywhere I found them for sale. That is just hard to say...

    Gunsmith Question: How much should I pay for chamber/rebarreling?

    Fair enough thank you both very much. Just something for me to kick around for the future, not today but never have had a rifle rebarreled so it's a subject I am not knowledgeable on - especially not the labor cost. Thanks again

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Roger that, that was kind of my thought as well. I had mentioned previously that I think it came with a chip/gouge/whatever-you-want-to-call-it in the barrel finish, underneath-area. Really ticked me off. So, it gave me the motivation to paint it. I am probably going to touch it up a little...

    Gunsmith Question: How much should I pay for chamber/rebarreling?

    If I may piggy-back onto this - I have a similar question - this is not something I am considering right now , but saw someone mention it on another thread and it piqued my interest. Supposing I bought a "pre-fit-barrel" from Criterion Barrels, which says "Utilizing a proprietary barrel nut...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I know I am out of my depth here- I am just an amateur and you fine folks are experts with considerable skills, history, resources, etc. - so please do not bash me too much - but -having said all that- just wanted to see what you guys think about the half-aced camo job I just gave my Tikka T3X...
