    Anyone shoot the Tikka T3x Tac A1 308win in 16" if not thoughts on the shorter barrel

    Why not just run your DTA with a 22" barrel and the longer handguard? I love my Tikka, and I've never had the coin for a Desert Tech, but it seems like a downgrade to me.

    6.5 "Shorty" Rifle build

    Looks like the "cool kids" over at Gunwerks think a 16.5" hunter is a viable idea. Mine's at the smith, I'm soooo excited for it to be done! I think mine will be a fair bit lighter and about $7000-$8000 dollars cheaper.

    Bolt action "pistol" with brace?...

    I would use it for prairie dogs, rabbits, coyotes, antelope, hogs, whitetail, turkey, plinking, and in general as a truck gun in case of an opportunity. I live in the middle of nowhere, and drive a lot of two-tracks. Consequently, I shoot out of a vehicle a lot. I also do a lot of driving and...

    Thoughts on Field Optics Research FT6841C

    What are you guy's thoughts on the Field Optics Research FT6841C tripod as a more economical option for those that can't spring for an RRS? Sorry if this has been asked. My google-fu is weak.

    Anyone want to talk AR shorties?

    My experience pales next to some of these guys, but I've tried 16", 14.5", 11.5" and 10.5" all in 5.56. 11.5" is as short as I would ever go in 5.56. I have a 14.5 Battle Arms Development barrel, and it is my fav of all of them I've tried. The smoothness gained by the mid-length gas system...

    Bolt action "pistol" with brace?...

    I've thought about this before, it would be awesome!! How about using a Howa Mini Action to make it even shorter?

    Best semi-economical hand priming tool?

    Just like the title says, I'm in the market for a cool priming tool. I reload just enough to get by, I'm not a super-expert by any means. I'll probably be doing 99% of my priming on cases from the 308 family. What is the hand priming tool to have out there? Thanks Sniper's Hide!

    Mcmillan HTG Cheek-Weld height with 44mm(ish) scope

    Thanks for the replies guys. That is kind of a bummer, I was hoping not to have to figure a way to add height. I guess we'll just have to see how it all mates up. I have a pretty cool idea for adding some height that I haven't seen before, so maybe I'll have to explore that. Maybe I'll get lucky...

    Mcmillan HTG Cheek-Weld height with 44mm(ish) scope

    Thanks for the reply! I was really hoping to get by without a cheek pad, guess we'll see what happens. I'm gonna use ARC X-low rings and it'll be on a Defiance Deviant.

    Mcmillan HTG Cheek-Weld height with 44mm(ish) scope

    I'm going to hang a Bushnell LRHS 4.5-18X44 on a rifle wearing an HTG. Anyone got any photos of an HTG wearing a 40-44mm objective lens scope? Anyone got experience with a scope that size? How does that go for ya? Did you have to add height somehow? Thanks!

    Poor professionalism

    If you run into an asshole in the morning, you met an asshole. If you run into asshole's all day...you're the asshole. Seriously though, think about the generalization you just made. How many people work in the custom bolt gun world? A few hundred? A few thousand? Do you really think you can...

    Cheap(er-ish) Tripod with best stability?

    Thanks for the multitude of ideas guys! - I will check out the PIG0311, seems like you guys like it, and it looks really good to me for the money. -I had the Caldwell Sureshot for a minute, til I boxed it up and sent it back, I didn't find it to be stable at all - The Gitzo looks good, but...

    Cheap(er-ish) Tripod with best stability?

    There's probably already a thread like this, but my google-fu is weak! I would love to spring for the new RRS, but dang $1400 is a lotta money to me! I shoot for fun and to hunt. What is the most stable tripod out there for say $300 or less?? I don't care how heavy it is, only how stable it...

    Need a new .308

    I really liked the Tikka, it was smooth and accurate! I'm more of a practical user than a match shooter, that is to say I live in a super remote place and I hunt and shoot stuff. So, the weaknesses of the Tikka for me were the bolt stop pin weakness, the long-action length without a need for it...

    Need a new .308

    Well, I've owned a Savage 10FCP-SR and the Tikka. I would go with the Bergara HMR if I were you. For what it's worth, I really didn't like that particular Savage.
