    Tikka T3 Thread

    I have a Tikka Tx3 varmint that we took it to a mile with 88 grain ELD's. These guns are amazing. I was worried that my Tikka wouldn't do anything that my new Rem700 5R would do, I was wrong. These Tikka guns are amazing YMMV. PB

    Tikka T3X Super Varmint 223

    Got the Tikka out to a mile yesterday. Our DOPE calculation gave us 24.5 mils, but we finally got a splash on the hill and ended up at 27.5 mils. You can see the small hits as the 88 grain bullets vs there 6.5 vs 300WM. Actually its harder to see the 6.5 vs 300WM than the 88 grain hits. I...

    Tikka T3X Super Varmint 223

    We have run 88g ELD's out to 1,300 with great results and shooting very tight groups, ie .5 MOA. Installed a Mtn Tactical Bolt knob/handle that feels good. Also, I bought a Timney trigger 8oz/1.5lbs and I am very happy with it. I liked the Tikka trigger it just felt a bit cheap, and the...

    Best Match Ammo for .223

    I shot a lot of black hills 77OTM, 77TMK’S and 69 TMK’S and it was unrivaled in velocity and accurac. It cost a small fortune if you can find it but it rein’s supreme in my book. granted, I have not shot a great deal of factory 556 ammo, mostly handloads but it was not reproducable in trying...

    LMT .308 MWS

    Nice groups, I too have had good luck with 168’s. Also, a little better luck with 168’s over 175’s but that just might be the reloading. But factory 168’s have done well from TAP & FGGM so …well done. PB

    New build choices SBR or 16-18"

    You need to stop that crazy talk right now, you could get a lot of people in trouble with KAC news like that, damn. Off to Brownells. Oh build a lightweight 16' inch gun with LPVO and shoot those 77's out to BFE. PB

    Geissele 16” CHF Barrel: A Quick Look

    Agreed, I feel like I hit the lottery, because I hear nothing but problems with their guns and mine has been great. I got lucky it seems. I said before it sucks because I felt like prior to their entry into guns, their shit was buttoned up. No ams'. PB

    To MOS or not to MOS

    I would consider just buying another slide so you can keep you Glocks whole like your 21SF. It may be a Glock slide or another brand that is very nice. I sold a bunch of guns and bought them optics ready, before slide where an option in another brand. Wish Had waited because the finances are...

    Rpr or Bergara lrp 2.0

    That DD rifle is excellent. I own the first Gen without chases and the barrel is very fast, tight chamber and shoots great. The new DD gun is more expensive and much beefier. It would hold its own with any of the above guns. PB

    I need to procure a lightweight hunting rifle for next year, what would you pick?

    For the money, Tikka and Bergara are to beat. A lot of nice guns to choose from but Jeez you have glass to consider too. Didn't read the entire thread so maybe that has been covered. Good luck. PB

    Tikka T3x upgrades

    I just put a Mountain Tactical Bolt knob/handle on my Tikka varmint and I am very impressed. It required some gun smithing, but it is very nice. Bottom metal in route when it comes off backorder. But I would think most aftermarket knobs would be a big improvement. I am hoping the bottom metal...

    Is this a Factory or a Lightweight Remington 700 Firing Pin?

    I tried some of those high speed light weight pins and they caused light primer strikes and had to replace them. My Factory Remmy have been good. PB

    Tikka T3X varmint 223

    SporterII, Our load is 24.5 varget. 2.50 long. 2797 fps. Ma Smith, we shot 80 grain smk out of my 5R rem 700 with much success but the 88 ELD shot weird out of the Remmy. The 88's shot very weird sound through a can with the 5R but rocked with the Tikka. I have come to believe the twist rate...
