    T1x ACE in Hand - Review - Pictures - Info - Thoughts

    Shot another match this past weekend and rifle performed great, I'm definitely putting the poor performance at the last match down to ammo. I had a chance to shoot/play with a few other chassis (ACC Gen2, MPA Matrix, Vision Pro) the Tikka chassis definitely feels a bit cheap compared to these...

    How do you note your rifles current zero setting when storing a rifle?

    Did they finally hit go at Pfizer? First their was the Mark 4 tracking thread, now this, somethings definitely in the water.

    Angle shooting

    As others have said, just use TBR in a range finder. I've started using it over inputting into a ballistics calculator, it's considerably easier and has worked fine for long range rimfire. You should use TBR for elevation holds, and line of sight distance for wind holds, but most of the time...

    New Applied Ballistics® Quantum™ APP! - & It's Free!

    Is there any features that the AB Quantum app is missing compared to a Kestrel 5700 AB? If I use the app with a cheaper, non AB kestrel am I giving up anything compared to the 5700? Maybe I should just take the plunge into a 5700, but I've always liked using a phone (larger screen = more info...

    Indeed, this thread is gayer than aids.

    Desert Precision Gunworks 22LR Action Updates

    What's the expected price for a barreled action? If you are able to ship internationally I'd be keen as on one of these. Vudoo barreled actions have been stupid expensive for me in NZ. RimX not so bad price but sounds like they've gone backward recently. Ultimatum Duece was a complete...

    Did the 80 SMKs need much tuning? They have a BC not far off the ELDs.

    Mark 4hd tracking issue

    He said the new scope wasn't "tracking" with his existing dope, and then did a tracking test. Definitely looks like a normal tracking test, which it has indeed failed.

    Pretty much same price for 80 ELDs as the Bergers, seems like the way to go

    This is me guessing from all the threads I've read on the subject, but sounds like the 75gr ELD-Ms are kind of shit. A great BC and can shoot well, but not very consistent and are generally more sensitive than other bullets. My Tikka likes 75gr BTHPs and really likes 73gr ELD-Ms, but the 75s...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Have you tried any heavier bullets or just the 75s?

    School me on .223 Bullets

    Bumping and old post. Is this in a factory barrel? What length barrel?

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Does anyone have a 223 CTR or Varmint with a 24" barrel that can comment what velocity can be achieved with 70-90gr projectiles? And can comment what the heaviest projectile they can run in the 8t barrel, I'm guessing 80.5gr Bergers are the best bet? Was planning to rebarrel my Tikka but might...

    Best Ballistics App 2025

    Was it as simple as taking the chrony data and finding the right PDM to suit your DOPE? Or not that simple?

    Best Ballistics App 2025

    Does anyone have experience with the customs drag profiles specifically for 22lr? I'm assuming it has some preset for different ammo types and you can then fine tune it, or just create your own.

    NRL Hunter Binos: Prioritizing Ballistic Solver vs Glass Quality

    Stupid question, but do you and your team mate have the same cartridge/ballistics? If not then the ballistic solver won't be great for team matches. With hard data (on paper) it's very quick to get you dope for a single target if you use TBR/EHR, so normal RF binos would be fine. If you are...

    Tikka T1X

    I must say the Garmin Xero has been a God send for 22lr. It's nice not being driven crazy buy unexpected results, seeing high/low fliers on target and knowing it was the ammo not me takes away a lot of frustration. Although chronying everything has made me realize just how bad some ammo is and...

    Tikka T1X

    The ES of the ammo suggests a 7" tall group at 211m so 8-9" isn't bad with that in mind. I've spent a lot of time recently testing different ammo/batches at distance and basically decided long range results are 100% ammo ES based. Have seen it enough times now, groups much taller than they are...

    Best Ballistics App 2025

    Interesting, I did message Igor asking for that change, appears it did happen. However install the update appears to be an issue.
