    self winding tactical watches.... suggestions please

    I took my DA42 (Orange - for "gun safety awareness" and s/n in the teens) home a couple years ago, but it was a Bavarian Holiday and the store in Regensburg was closed. Probably save me a lot of money in not buying the bracelet...

    +100 for Slangvel. I got a few of his many years ago for myself and others. They are still going strong. I'm not a hat guy, but I love these.

    Training Courses Frank's Minnesota Class 2020

    Wow. What a great three days of training! Chuck and Pete took great care of us at their wonderful range. They even kept the mosquitoes at bay. Of course, Frank and Marc know how to run a class. I’ve got a lot of notes and log book pages to re-write into usable / legible dope. I appreciate...

    Anyone been to Iceland?

    I spent a couple days there in 2017. I loved it but didn’t have enough time. We saw some of the high points of the tourist stuff in the area of Reykjavik. I’d have liked to see more of the small towns. It’s a relatively small country and tourists are a double edged sword for them. A lot...

    Stock for Tikka CTR

    We just installed a Bravo / CTR on my brother’s 6.5 CTR. He had previously been content with the factory stock because he wanted to keep the weight down (and didn’t know what he didn’t know). Installation was a breeze. He wanted 2 spacers installed on the butt. His scope is mounted as...

    Rifle Scopes LE use of Vortex

    Vortex is VERY helpful to LE. They assisted a team I know swap out a variety of old scopes and mounts to a uniform setup including the PST Gen II 3-15. They have about a year on them now in fleet and are very happy. Vortex even assisted with some machining / mounting issues from a past gun...

    Sterk bolt handle

    The Sterk swept Ball handle is so well done, ergonomic, and fast that I consider it the first / must upgrade of any Tikka. Tikka should license it from John.
