    Clothing iron. They are glued and have a dowel as well. You WILL break screws without putting heat to the screws and base.

    Sako trg 22 vs curtis vector pva build

    I own my fair share of high end rifles and if I don't own them, I've had opportunities to shoot ones that are also well known high end guns. I agree with what @jbell has said about other peoples narrow exposure to rifles and coming up with opinions. My TRG 22 is THE benchmark for what a...

    KRG Midas trigger

    Agreed. Polymer would be nice for the cold weather.

    KRG Midas trigger

    Comfort wise, it is not uncomfortable, but it could be more comfortable. I'd say it would be like people who prefer a flat trigger vs curved. I'm spoiled with the post 2013 TRG22 trigger shoe that is adjustable in multiple axis. I like how my trigger shoe is turned to about 1:30 vs straight...

    KRG Midas trigger

    I got my Midas today in the mail. The trigger was delivered in a very nicely embossed tin. Installation was very straight forward and no surprises as far as that was concerned. My goal with my Tikka build is to get as close in feel to a Sako TRG 22 as I could for as little money as possible...

    Kinetic Research Group SOTIC?

    Not sure about SOTIC, but probably very close to TRG. See this http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/winter-shooting-sako-trg-22-and-observations-on-gear.167144/.

    KRG Bravo - Spigot Mount & Harris Bipod Direct Mount

    Depends on if you want to spend the money on what the spigot was actually made for, a TRG bipod. Given the choice, I'd take the TRG bipod option. The only reason I am not using it is because I ordered a barrel that is literally a snatch hair too big in diameter and my TRG bipod touches the...

    New bolt? Not just a handle? Plcs please. Curiosity is killing me.

    Kinetic Research Group SOTIC?

    So is the implication that there will be a TRG style safety?

    Tikka T3 Thread

    It really depends on if you plan on going to a new stock. If the goal is to shoot it for a while first, then yes a CTR is the way to go IMO. But if the goal is to change things out fairly quickly, I'd find the least expensive model you can find. These days, I'm just looking for any Tikka T3...

    Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, simple hand tools is all you need.

    Clothing iron works well. No need for open flames or high temp air. I use a Spuhr 20 MOA but I also shoot to 1000 yds pretty frequently now so 20 MOA helps.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    KRG is set to release their version soon. I hear it is based on the pre 2013 Sako TRG trigger (which should be the cats meow). I anxiously await for the release.

    KRG Bravo chassis stock is generally known for being very comfortable. I have one of Greg's Bugnut barrel setups in .260. My only mistake was selecting a Bartlien in Marksman contour. It literally is a hair too big in diameter and touches my TRG 22 bipod (under weight of the gun, it touches the...

    Actions that accept DIY barrel changes (Savage, Rem-age, etc)? and question about Tikka barrel swap

    I also used a Bugnut system. Original barrel threads were not as bad as I had heard they could be. But then, I kroiled and PB Blastered it for 4 days waiting on tools to arrive too, so maybe advance preparation helped. I used a brownells universal wrench and a viper barrel vise. I'm looking for...

    what makes some barrels "slower"?

    All of the above seem plausible. But my Tikka barrel was also slow, so it isn't anyones imagination.

    KRG Bravo Chassis

    Plus the CTR mags do not allow a round to be pushed so far back into the mag that it comes out the other side. I also think the AICS pattern is an inferior design. That being said, I still prefer the TRG mag over a CTR. I also appreciate the shorter height of CTR/TRG mags, but I may have to try...
