    Tikka T3 Thread

    Manners EHT is a great option if you like the ergos of the OEM stock. You'll also save about 100g in weight, and more if you swap to the factory plastic bottom "metal' and mags

    You can use a take-off T1x stock, which has ~13.2 LOP

    Tikka T3 Thread

    It's the 3342. I like it a lot, it's great value compared to my RRS 34L, it's lighter, but it's also not as refined and stable as the RRS.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Been playing musical chairs with my Tikka stock/optics during the lockdown, but finally managed to get out for some fox shooting with the BR on the weekend

    Hand Loading/Load Development Questions, any help is appreciated!

    1. Pick a mid-level, safe load 2. Test Jump: Load 30 rounds (6 x): .03, .06, .09, .120, .150 3. Shoot 2 separate 3 shot groups. One of the 5 COALs will outperform the others (unless shooting a BR or 6.5x47, in which case forget load dev and be happy) 4. With jump established load .3-.5 grains...

    Short Bushnell XRS II Review

    Before I get into my thoughts re the XRS II I'd really appreciate it if someone could direct me to the correct Tenebraex cap sizes for this scope. I originally posted this in the XRS II thread but thought I'd put it up separately for those considering...

    Short 6BR

    Bit of data from my load dev this weekend: 18inch 6BR, 87vmax, 108gr ELDM's 31.3gr h4895 = 2920fps with the Vmax's 30gr Varget = 2645fps with the ELDM's The accuracy node with the Vmax appears to be around 30.5gr h4895, which nets ~2845fps. I think I should be able to get 2700fps with the...

    Binos: Meopta Meostar vs Swaro (15x56). Any opinions?

    Another (y) for the Meopta Meostar 15x56's - In hindsight they are probably the item I most wish I'd purchased earlier.

    Reuse Tikka T3 action or buy new

    It's a Tikka Varmint barrel in .308. Had it chopped to 17.5' and threaded. I then inletted a Tikka lite stock to accept the varmint barrel profile. It balances very well and is insanely accurate. When I had this rifle scoped it shot a 2 inch 5 shot group at 500m with 155smk's. Despite the short...

    Reuse Tikka T3 action or buy new

    It's a lot of fun out of a helicopter. Unfortunately, here in Australia we can't have the good stuff so this is as close as I'll get to a semi-auto...at least it's more reliable

    6BR: 95 TMK vs 105 Hybrid vs 108 ELDM

    Do you have any idea how far they are jumping?

    6BR: 95 TMK vs 105 Hybrid vs 108 ELDM

    I'm not sure. I believe in the BR's FB is optimised for the 105 hybrids, same with the .243. In the BR's I have a .02 jump Loaded to 1.76 BTO/2.37 COAL

    6BR: 95 TMK vs 105 Hybrid vs 108 ELDM

    G'day Hide, 105gr Hybrids are impossible to find anywhere in Australia, and with no signs of them turning up anytime soon I need to start looking at other options. I'm running 2 x 6BR's and a .243, all are 8 twist and all shoot extremely well with 105's. I stupidly sold a large chunk of my...
