    Delta Stryker 3.5-21x44 DLR-3

    You're looking at a different Delta than I had. The view through the scope on the XTR3 and XTR Pro is just so full-field that it really provides a nice viewing experience. But you'll be very happy with the Delta I'm sure. I had no real reason to upgrade from mine, and would have been just...

    Delta Stryker 3.5-21x44 DLR-3

    Mostly use the XTR Pro for target shooting. But it would do fine for either. It and the Delta are very close. The Delta might even resolve things more clearly, but the field of view is so nice in the Burris that I decided to go that direction.

    17HMR for P-dog hunting

    Thanks for the reply. I'm fine with it being a 150 yard gun. I just want something to reach beyond my 22LR, and I'm so sick and tired of 20"+ barrels with a suppressor on the end. I'm pretty much at the point I want the shortest barrel I can get. 16-17 would be great. 18 is fine. 20+ is a...

    17HMR for P-dog hunting

    What do you guys suggest for a 17hmr P-dog gun? Don't want to spend $1k, but open to options below that. Just want the most accurate gun I can get for the $. Prefer heavier, shorter barrel and a stock without a ton of comb drop if possible. Will be running suppressed some. I currently have...

    Rifle Scopes Top tier scope recommendation

    I'd love to look at some of these side by side. I've seen almost everything in the $1k-$3k range side by side but not many of the $3k+ scopes.

    Delta Stryker 3.5-21x44 DLR-3

    I had a Delta Stryker 4.5-30x56 on my Tikka for years. Fantastic scope. I just upgraded recently to the Burris XTR Pro. Love the Burris but sometimes I miss the Delta. They make great scopes

    Thanks. I'll give them a shout.

    Adding adjustable cheek to stock

    Apparently stock doc (Joe) has some health issues and isn't taking new work. Does anyone know of anyone else doing this work?

    I'm stumped...bolt won't close

    Just to chime in, this barrel WAS NOT chambered by Bartlein. This was done by a gunsmith nearly a decade ago. I think the real culprit was a carbon ring and a tight chamber. I cleaned the carbon out again just for good measure and did some load development this morning. Looks like a Bartlein...

    Does it shoot well?

    Horizon 22CM - Vandal X, Vandal Prime, Villain

    That was one of the reasons I was considering the Vandal X or Villain - they're both Preferred blanks

    Horizon 22CM - Vandal X, Vandal Prime, Villain

    Yeah, if I want a hunting rifle that can shoot 1" groups with fluting, I can get a Ruger American Ranch rifle for $500. For me, if I'm spending $2k+, it better shoot tiny groups. I can just stick a Bartlein on my Tikka and I know it'll shoot

    Horizon 22CM - Vandal X, Vandal Prime, Villain

    Are you shooting 1" groups or .2-.3" groups?

    I'm stumped...bolt won't close

    That's pretty much what's going on. I think I need to just run a reamer in there to open it up to saami spec, and I think the issue will go away.

    Horizon 22CM - Vandal X, Vandal Prime, Villain

    Yeah, that would be extremely frustrating. Thanks for the reply

    Looks very similar to the issue I'm having. Thanks for the info

    I'm stumped...bolt won't close

    At this point, nothing is chambering fine except completely different ammo which yes, is a different profile. Sorry, I realize now my wording was unclear.

    Same profile

    I'm stumped...bolt won't close

    This would be a first for me - I trust Hornady's loads to be very high quality and it's never been an issue before.
