    Tikka T1X

    Just arrived home to my Oryx waiting for me. Barreled action minus bolt weighs 3.6lbs, Oryx chassis with barreled action and bolt weigh 8.5lbs and my whole setup minus bipod comes in at 10.5lbs. Initial impressions of the Oryx are it seems really well built. With my Vortex Golden Eagle in...

    What’s the benefit to his shroud? Anything other than looks?

    Bipod feet

    I’m sure spike or sled feet would be more beneficial, someday I’ll buy some spike feet for my Atlas, but you should be fine with what you have for the class. Just be sure that your shooting mat has a lip/straps to load your bipod against. That is how everyone did it in the class I attended.

    The Fix from Q

    Nope. My rifle feeds fine

    Tikka T1X

    This is how @johnkmcguire97 did his. He may be able to shed a little more light on it for you.

    Tikka T1X

    My Oryx Chassis shipped last night, should hopefully have it Friday to play with this weekend weather permitting.

    Move to Alaska, and you’ll lose all faith in shipping estimates?. We’ll see how long it’ll take to get my Oryx.

    MDT Oryx Chassis

    I believe he beat me on ordering one, as he is the one that let me know in the T1X thread?? Can’t wait to get it in and give it a try.

    Thanks for the tip, ordered one as well. Apparently the email in stock notification didn’t work.

    Tikka T1X

    I would love to try Lapua Center X or Eley Edge, unfortunately my local FFL doesn’t stock those, and shipping to an Alaskan island is ridiculous. I agree CCI SV shot good enough for practice, considering I had to pay $13 a box for my my Federal GMM 922A...... apparently I’m the first person to...

    Tikka T1X

    I have somewhere around 600 rounds through it now, but I pulled a bore snake through it after 500 simply because those were trying out different types of ammo to see what it liked. I wasn’t sure if the CCI clean polymer coated stuff would mess with accuracy of the Federal GMM or not. I am...

    Tikka T1X

    Played around with my T1X this weekend. Discovered that my suppressor actually doubles my group sizes, so I ended up shooting my local benchrest match without it. I shot using the Federal GMM, and it performed really well. Unfortunately when I switched to the second target at 100yards, I wasn’t...

    Kestrel Selection

    Thanks for the info @seansmd Out of curiosity, what is the range card feature? I ended up pre-ordering the Hornady kestrel, and luckily the code 15HDS still works for 15% off, bringing the price down to $425

    Kestrel Selection

    I am looking at purchasing my first Kestrel, and want to get peoples thoughts on what they liked and didn't like about a couple different models. I am looking at the 5700, Hornady 5700, and 5700 Elite. I realize the Hornady model is not released yet, but considering I primarily shoot Hornady...

    Alaska Precision Rifle After Action Podcast

    Thank you once again for putting on such a wonderful class. I look forward to being able to take another one in the future.

    Tikka T1X

    It seemed about even between CCI and RWS, I don’t remember any Federal having issues. I’ll keep an eye on that next time.

    Tikka T1X

    The weather cooperated today and I was able to make it out to the range to finally shoot my T1X and get the scope sighted in. I absolutely love how the rifle handles and shoots. I put 400 rounds through it to try and see what grouped the best. Out of the 400 rounds I shot, I did have about...

    Tikka T1X

    Finally got an optic mounted up, hopefully the weather will cooperate so I can get it sighted in this weekend.

    Tikka T1X

    So I’ll finally be getting a scope mounted up tomorrow and will be testing some ammo to see what my rifle likes. Unfortunately my local store doesn’t have much of a selection, so what you see pictured is what I have to choose from. My goal with the rifle is to get it dialed it and shoot my...
