    6 mm Norma BR barrel length

    Velocity, rigidity, weight. The would prefer to have my barrel as short as possible (rigidity) with enough velocity at the muzzle to be in the game at 800m (F-class). My primary choice is 26", but there are people who try to talk me into 29".

    Which model Tikka?

    I shot CTR, varmint and Tikka Tac. If you are thinking about shooting beyond 300 meters, I would go definitely with a varmint or Tac. If you go with a varmint I would change the stock to an MDT or other chassis system. Once you burn out the factory barrel you will still keep the great Tikka...

    6 mm BR barrel length why so damn long

    A buddy of mine shooting F-class tries to talk me into 28" barrel in 6mmBR. It's so long. I was thinking rather 26". My maximum range will be 800m. I would happily avoid the 28" cannon.

    Which spotting scope should I buy?

    @gr8fuldoug thanks for the offer. I am afraid that shipping costs to Europe would kill the deal.

    Which spotting scope should I buy?

    I would like to buy a spotting scope which would be capable of identifying my shots at 600 m on a paper target 9 (not a steel target) during an f-class match. I have no experience with spotting scopes so far. Budget- below 1000$. What would be your recommendation?

    6mm BR

    @47guy this was my primary choice. I am focusing on Lapua Scenars and Bergers, I think 150 VV would be my first choice because it should give me little bit more speed than N140.

    6mm BR

    Hi, I just ordered a new barrel in 6mmBR. I am still struggling with the choice of powder. VV N140, VV N150, VVN540. VV in its reloading app provides reloading data on those 3 powders. I plan to shoot at 300m 90gr and 105gr bullets. Which powder would you recommend (I stick to VV, so don't say...

    Sako TRG 22 opinions

    You are perfectly right. It's difficult to combat the TRG fixation. I liked the TRG 10 years ago (although I hated the 308), but with more options available on the market right now... Of course many people would still prefer TRG, nothing wrong with that.

    Sako TRG 22 opinions

    First off Sako trg is priced in the 3000-3500$ range. For this price you can pick a great Tikka T3x Tac wich will shoot on par with TRG and you will have still plenty of money to finance a portion of your optics (not to mention you can buy also a decent custom rifle which by the way would be my...

    6.5 mm action in 6mm build?

    @308pirate For 300m+ applications I will use 6.5 CM. I am looking for consistent 0,5 moa or better 10-shot groups at 300m. I hope it will be easier to deliver this with 6BR than with 6.5CM.

    6.5 mm action in 6mm build?

    @Rocketmandb I am building 6BR in order to challenge the 6.5CM guys at 300m and 300m alone. Past 300m I have 6.5CM. You think that makes sense?

    6.5 mm action in 6mm build?

    @Praeger so, it's as simple as that? Just change the barrel and buy a 6BR mag and you are ready to go?

    6.5 mm action in 6mm build?

    You are sure about that? Because that would save me a lot of money:).

    6.5 mm action in 6mm build?

    I am budgeting currently my new 6mm build. Is there a chance my gunsmith could modify my 6.5 CM action from my other rifle to serve in my 6mmBR build? I would happily skip 1000EUR on a new 6mmBR action...
