    Tikka T3 Thread

    Got to handle a Manners T5, T5A, EH5, EH5A today for the Tikka and R700. Very nice stock. I may get to do some shooting tomorrow with one, and then decide which way to go. ETA: I completely disassembled my Tikka/Bravo, meaning barreled action out of the chassis, scope off the rail, but still...

    Navy Mk11 Mod 2 scope

    I have an M110 issued right now. it has a Leupold 3.5-10 on it. I had a MK11 issued in the 2006 time frame. Mod 0 maybe? IDK for sure. It also had a Leupold 3.5-10. Both Leupy's were/are mil dot reticles and .25 moa turrets. I am not a military small arms historian, but it is my...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    That's what I get for going off memory instead of checking Manner's site :-( Do you wish you had the T5A? What Cheekrest are you using there? I use my thumbholes much like you do, though lately I've been shooting more and more with the thumb in the hole. Slower, but it seems a tad more...

    Solid beginner's bolt gun for learning shoot long range?

    I don't really know what you mean, but ballistically (externally) it's about a wash with .223 and .308. Not literally, but for 300 yard shooting, with occasiommal 600 yard shooting, it just doesnt matter. .223 just has way less recoil. 73g Bergers or 77g smk, and you are gtg. I like 308...

    .223 all day long.

    Solid beginner's bolt gun for learning shoot long range?

    What distance do you have available to shoot at? What distance will you mostly shoot at? Im going to swim upsteam and recommend a 308, or even a .223, depending on your availanble range. In either case, you will learn to read wind better and have a very long barrel life. Also in either...

    What's your favorite mass produced rifle?

    How many tikkas are there? The op used that marque as an example. Compared to savage or Remington, tikka may be viewed as a boutique rifle too, idk. Is sako mass produced?

    What's your favorite mass produced rifle?

    Given that we are all spitballing here, you can certainly argue what is or is not mass produced. Unless we know the cut off, it is all just open to interpretation. More expensive items, even factory produced, are always made in smaller quantities than cheaper items. If the ai is not made in...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    The only thumbhole stock Ive ever liked is the ai. I remember when the T6 came out and I thought it was hideous looking. After seeing your rifle in this thread a few times, I have gone 180 the other way, aesthetically speaking. How do you like shooting and handling the T6? Seriously...

    What's your favorite mass produced rifle?

    I dont buy guns at walmart, bass pro or cabelas, so if I used them as a measure of anything, I would own no guns at all. Just because your big box store, with their minimally knowledgable (to be polite) sales staff, doesnt carry a specific gun, does not in any way determine what is and is not a...

    What gear should I buy to DIY mount a scope?

    This is what I do. I mount anywhere from 1-3 scopes a week, and this is the best way I have found. The Arisaka is awesome, though I do prefer my Borka tools to the wheeler...

    What's your favorite mass produced rifle?

    Yes. The fact that we are even discussing this seems silly to me, but I would add that since the OP didn't specify production rate (to qualify as "mass-produced"), I would argue that any gun you can call a dealer up and have shipped out from their stock, is a factory, mass produced gun. Cost...

    What's your favorite mass produced rifle?

    OK, but so what? Doesn't change the nature of its production. I would bet on the AI all day everyday over the custom when the going gets tough.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Also, I got my mag well tightened up, no more feeding issues. Thanks much guys! After playing with it some more, I'm not sure the aftermarket 3 position safety will be much or an ergonomic improvement for me, so i'll stick with the factory part and make it work. Thanks again for showing me...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    If you're concerned about what your Tikka might do on any given day, I cannot help you, but I will say that my .223 Lite has not shot a group worse than 5/8" since I got it. I shot a few groups with it on day one to zero and get a feel for it, and then I typically shoot one or two groups at...

    Which Rear Bag Would You Recommend (PRS)?

    I have most of the bags mentioned in this thread, and greatly prefer the commanche as a rear bag. Imo, it is too heavy to carry for real field use, but if you dont need to travel far, it is a great option that covers everything I need except a positional pillow. I use it at work as well as in...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 460 Rowland vs 10mm Woods Defense

    I give up. This is like the scene in that stupid bay watch remake movie, with the cop and the lifeguards where you are only listening to the parts you want to.

    22LR recoil enhancer

    Not the best way to go imo. better to use smaller targets. when they are proportionally smaller, the recoil acts about the same.
