    Tikka T3 Thread

    If you have high alkali dust mixed with with moisture, not only will it hold the moisture but it gives the the moisture an electrolyte for dissimilar metals and galvanic corrosion. Stainless Steel and aluminum don't play well together in sea water DAMHIK. Austal USA will tell you all about it...

    22 ARC

    The "Site Search" box at the top didn't turn up results when I checked. Rainier is still in the office, they're on pacific time, so it's not 5:00 PM Yet. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it...

    22 ARC

    I just checked Rainier's website, they haven't added any .22 ARC items to the site yet, looks like you'll have to pick up the phone at the moment.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Pulling an original barrel is a chore if you're trying to save the barrel. The newer T3X's weren't as difficult as the older T3 that I have. I have a Viper Bench Mount Barrel Vise and a Wheeler outside action wrench. Pull the scope mount screws and squirt your favorite penetrating oil in the...

    Rifle Scopes Does anything rival the Burris XTR3 for the money? If so, what ?

    The Zeiss S3 is what you're really looking for. The only possible downside is a 34mm main tube.

    Is scopelist.com a scam site???

    I just received 2 scopes Wednesday from Scopelist, I placed a phone order placed last week. GTG for me. UPS Tracking was a bit wonky - New Years Eve Hangover maybe ?

    What does 6.5 do over 7.62?

    Just to pull the pin on a grenade and drop it into this conversation: If the .mil was hell bent on going 6.5mm to replace 7.62 NATO, They would have adopted .260 Remington... Same case, don't have to invest in a bunch of new tooling to manufacture brass cases, just neck them down vs. a...

    Gunsmithing Savage Barrels

    Don't spend any money on a Savage if you're going to compete with it. They are good hunting rifles and accurate out of the box "target" rifles as long as you're not on the clock. Shoot it, enjoy it, make tiny little groups to show your friends with it, just don't dump any money into it. DAMHIK

    25 cal. muzzle brake?

    The barrel lands and grooves are in actual contact with the bullet as it exits the barrel, that's why the crown is critical. If you're shooting F-Class or Benchrest, then there could be a measurable and consistent difference to be found. For PRS, hunting or other shooting disciplines, .020" to...

    What are the thoughts on a NF SHV ? https://www.nightforceoptics.com/riflescopes/shv/shv-3-10x42/ It's a little more $ than what I budgeted, but there ain't an ATM Machine in the Afterlife... And I found a deal on one of these...

    Peanut butter and....

    I had a Fried Shrimp Basket at Bozo's Seafood in Pascagoula, MS. for lunch on Thursday. Both of the guys I had lunch with had the stuffed Red Snapper. Both of those guys were from NOLA, and they were impressed and one took his leftovers home with him. There's no way I could move to Middle...

    Rifle Scopes Scope for a classic hunting rifle

    I rooted thru my "Box-O-Scopes" and found these two: The Leupy is a 3.5-10 Vari-X3 that was on my Rem 78 Sportsman in .30/06 back in the early 90's. That scope has several deer, coyote and armadillos to it's credit. The Burris is a 3-9 Fullfield that was on the Browning A-Bolt Hunter .308...
