    Question-Tikka T1X Bolt handles and knobs

    Mine could be pretty stiff, especially with the factory handle. I got the Sterk, will never take it off. Feels like the rifle it should have been from the beginning.

    Is the aero precision SOLUS worth buying

    I was using an HS Stock, HS Bottom Metal, HS Gen 1.5 mags (1.5 stack to single feed). I'd started by trying to install it into a Christensen MPR Chassis, but I had the same issue, i.e. the top of the bottom metal was hitting the bottom of the trigger housing and the action screws wouldn't seat...

    Is the aero precision SOLUS worth buying

    Well, considering I was heavily invested in Nucleus barrels, bolt heads, etc, etc, and that the CDG doesn't support those barrels, and that I didn't want/need AW mag support because I'm also well invested in AICS mags... I think it was a mistake. I'm happy a bunch of people disagree, and I'm a...

    Is the aero precision SOLUS worth buying

    I would 100% recommend a Tikka as the starting place for anyone looking for a hunting rifle. As good as the Solus price is, only their lowest price offering, in the KRG, is even close to the price of a Tikka, and that is heavily discounted Black Friday pricing anyway. Tikkas are simple, bullet...

    Is the aero precision SOLUS worth buying

    I finally got mine out the range. 20" fluted .308 barreled action. I added a Trigger Tech Special and tried to throw it in a HS Precision stock, using HS Precision bottom metal. About an hour of dremelling the top of the trigger guard later, I got it to fit. I think that the trigger hanger...

    Aero SOLUS Range Report

    I just got my Solus barreled action in. I put it in an HS precision stock I had. I had to hog out the trigger area in the bottom metal because the hangar seems to move the trigger down further than it would otherwise be. Not sure how else to describe it.

    Better .22 ammo?

    Unpopular opinion - .22 is really good, especially if you are willing to pay for it. But it turns out 40 grains of lead with a starting velocity of 1050 or so FPS isn't a great recipe for long range precision. Its like complaining that your .308 groups "really open up" after 1200+ yards. I...

    Centurion Arms MK12 barrels

    I have one. I think these are made by the same manufacturer/processes as the original Mk12s, so Douglass blanks? I've been happy. I think they are a pretty good value for what you get.

    Latest and greatest Innovations from LaRue Tactical.

    I'm not going to lie, if that was through drilled so that you still had a built in sighting system, paired with some Hera Systems stock and handguards, you'd have a pretty nifty rifle. But yes, he's on drugs.

    6 ARC - Anyone Regret It? Also considering 22 ARC

    I'll bite when I can get it in a mini action. Hoping that Vudoo delivers there because the market has mostly been abandoned, excepting CZ and Howa. I'd kill for a Tikka mini action in this, .223, etc, etc. I don't see the point on a SA when you have so many choices in the 6mm space. Its more...

    Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph

    It isn't even like Garmin was planning on taking over this market segment, they just hit the suite spot in terms of size/utility/cost. Now the real question is buy a used LR for $300 or hold out for the Garmin.

    Do we care more about, SD or ES?

    Both tell you something about the ammo, and can help you decide on a lot number. Both are really helpful in understanding why cheap ammo is cheap...

    Vudoo 360 w/ Bartlein 1.20" Barrel for PRS Rimfire - Tuner or No?

    If you thread it you can add a tuner/can afterwards. I wouldn't put anything on the muzzle until I saw how it show with the ammo of my choice.

    Tac Ops Rifles

    It really says something about the quality of a rifle that people are happier posting pictures of groups than the guns themselves. Not a lot of rifles are accurate enough to generate that kind of attention.

    Bubble Level Alignment Accuracy Expectations?

    Worst Value Optic?

    Am I too late to mention the "super ninja extreme" or whatever the POS was that was in every gun magazine 10 or 15 years ago. Crazy price, no features. For me, S&B at the top end, but also Swarovski when you consider what they want to charge for a duplex reticle. It would take them VERY little...
