    This definitely sucks. Submarine lost.

    It’s not enough to explode at the bottom of the sea. You have to explode in space to be cool.

    How many Gen X are counting on Social Security?

    With an ‘85 birth date, I’ll never see it. Pisses me off to no end, that the government forces me to pay into a benefit for my future that I’ll never see. I could invest that money in a fucking savings account and see better returns than social security. Archaic and outdated concept.

    6.5 Grendel

    I haven’t read all the pages of this and the other threads, though most of them, what brass are you gents using these days?

    Boeing 737 Max at it again

    Couple operators in Canada still have a few. Company I worked for had 3, one had enough cycles left to still be worth something. It went to Canada, the other 2 are now beer cans. Hopefully not bud light….

    Tikka T3 & T3x lite barrel weight info - Please add!

    I like it so far, for just a pure lightweight hunting optic. The turrets under the caps are mushy, and mismatched with moa turrets, mil reticle. I zero’d at 100, and hold over in the reticle. Having the green dot always illuminated has been really nice, at 3x, I use it like a red dot.

    Tikka T3 & T3x lite barrel weight info - Please add!

    A lot of people (fudds) don’t realize that carbon barrels are only lighter than similar contours. A #1 - 2 profile is lighter. Light weight optics, I use a trijicon accupoint 3-9x42, 13.4 oz, mildot reticle. Only a year into it, but like it so far.

    Tikka T3 & T3x lite barrel weight info - Please add!

    If you’re counting oz’s they’re heavy. Ultra light pads are 1.2 oz’s, I’ve seen hardcore sheep hunters run no pad at all. That said, I agree with you. A couple more oz’s to make the rifle more shootable is well worth it.

    How many carry on vacation?

    Fuck TSA, and fuck their “approved” locks. Flew to a class last month, a member of the class was a well known knife maker. He gave out gift knives to everyone. A buddy had his stolen by someone with a TSA approved lock key, everything else in the case was left. AI ASR, can, assorted high end...

    Tikka T3 & T3x lite barrel weight info - Please add!

    My ultra light was a 6.5 creed, I ended up putting a brake on it. It was just the shitty kimber radial brake, but it only weighed 1.6 oz and did just good enough to make the rifle more shootable. That would be an option for you at the cost of an oz or 2. Ultra light rifles buck though, the more...

    looking for new hunting rifle for large western game

    Bartlein cf 20”, Mesa (now pure) precision altitude, mountain tactical tikka everything. With a zeiss v4 in nightforce UL rings and my ultra 5 can, it weighs 8lb 13oz unloaded with mountain tac’s 5 round mag. Not sure on the throat depth, kinport peak rifles in ID built it. After a couple phone...

    Fluting isn’t going to save you much, maybe 2 oz, but probably less. Chopping to 20 or less plus fluting will save the most, but your chasing oz’s. The biggest weight savings on any rifle is barrel, stock, and optic. Since you‘re addressing the barrel, the next route is an ultra light stock...

    looking for new hunting rifle for large western game

    I haven’t shot the new 70’s since they came back into production, but the older ones are great. I wouldn’t expect the accuracy of a seekins, but they easily hold minute of animal. The best I’ve ever seen out of the 7 I’ve owned was a legit 1/2 minute gun, the average is more 3/4-1 minute. I hear...

    Great analysis of electric cars

    I think the Tesla, ev stuff is cool. Just as an advancement in tech, actually American made cars, etc… Yet, why aren’t we researching bio fuels more?? Algae fuels are pretty enticing to the getting off fossil fuel & climate change argument. Oh wait, money and narrative…..

    tikka magnum in tac a1 chassis?

    You can do that, or buy a .535 bolt body and swap the internals. Also, those are short mags, you’re not putting a 7 rem mag in a ctr magazine. Single feed would work just fine.

    To those who say lower cost guns aren't "accurate"..

    Yet he couldn’t center punch it either. Also, OP hits 1.5” trash at 100 yards. Loses mind.

    I think KRG is cooking something up for tikka LA’s. XLR as well.

    Boeing 737 Max at it again

    It’ll be nice when all this calms down. I’m tired of getting questioned by pax if the bird is safe. It’s usually some Karen type standing in the bridge waiting to board, “Excuse me, sir? Is this aircraft safe to fly?”
