    PRS Talk Negligent Discharges Need To Stop!

    If we apply this to a hunting scenario and one I'm familiar with, I'm shooting a boar across an oats paddock in amongst the farmer's stud angus bulls. Backdrop is a large hill. The nearest bull is 30m off to one side, none in the background behind the boar, I ND a round and although the rifle...

    Tikka 223 rifle build advice

    Unless you're set on using an aftermarket barrel a standard tikka varmint in 223 with 1 in 8 twist will likely shoot as well and save you some money and gunsmith wait time. KRG Bravo is also a very comfortable chassis requiring no bedding or aftermarket DBM. I use MDT polymer mags in my 223...

    Sterk bolt and t1x

    No it won't. I believe Sterk is in process of working on T1X goodies though! I'm sure he'll update on the Hide when he's ready.

    7 SAUM Shooters- Action Length Question

    Short action here. 180gr Berger Hybs at 2880 using Retumbo wirh a 27" barrel. Probably 100-200fps down on what a long action may put them out at. 2.950" COAL.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    All my tikka triggers are around 1lb. You don't need to modify the grub screw you need a lighter spring. All the tikka's I've seen having triggee issues have had the standard trigger spring with the grub screw backed out so far that the spring has nil pre-load. I've got a mini coil spring kit...

    Gunsmithing Tikka Tac A1 last round feeding issue

    I've got a CTR in 7-08. I've bent out the mag catch cutout in the mag as my mag would drop out of the rifle, that solved that problem. Wouldn't feed smoothly so I bent the mag spring which solved the feeding issues except for the last round. The tip of the projectile on the last round feeds...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I've got an MDT ESS chassis for a Tikka. You can't take advantage of longer COAL's as the inlet for the magazine positions the magazine further forward than any other chassis or dbm systems I run on my Tikka's. I'm not sure why MDT set it up this way but I've relegated the chassis for use on...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I'd say nil damage done, just like fireforming for improved cartridges. You've probably just invented the next big 6.5 chambering, short neck 260 Rem. Just get a reamer ground with your name on it, I hear it may be the next wonder cartridge in PRS circles next year lol. In all seriousness you...

    Which 22 WMR Rifle?

    I've got a Ruger American TAP, OD Green Stock, 18" theaded barrel. It's standard apart from having the trigger spring removed and a DIP 25Moa rail. The trigger ends up around 1lb. With CCI and Hornady 30gr VMax loads it's stupidly accurate - 1/4" 5 shot groups at 50m. It's the cheapest 22wmr I...

    Solution to a slow Tikka barrel

    I think it comes down to barrel tolerances and maybe metallurgy between stainless and carbon steel barrels. Tikka's are hammer forged barrels. The mandrels used may have different tolerances. I imagine Sako/Tikka produce a lot of barrels to supply worldwide production. I had a factory blued...

    Strongest .22lr bolt action

    A Lithgow LA101 should be right up there with action strength. 3 rear locking lugs, bolt diameter and action wall thickness is also larger than most. You should also be looking at how an action deals with venting gas in the event of a case failure.
