    Tikka actions

    Yeah, i dont buy it. Only deflection test ive heard of was from Alex wheeler and he didn't note any material difference in stiffness from carbon to a similar weight steel barrel. Insulating steel doesn't help with heat dissipation. POI change with heat seems to be most prevalent with poorly...

    Suppressors SiCo Scythe review

    Handful of reported weld failures out there on 18-22” SAUMs and PRCs. Mine probably has 800 ish rounds on it primarily on a 18” 6 creed and it has worked well for me.

    Tikka actions

    Speeds from 24” ctr in 20 degree temps. 10 rds Berger factory ammo. This is 7 rounds of the 130 Norma @100 yds. Same shit that you can get right now for $1.10/ea shipped. Not bad for a $170 “production” barrel

    Tikka actions

    I was looking at a PVA barreled action Solus as a price point option for a NRL hunter setup. I think I'd rather have that over a tikka for range use, especially if a guy could get one in the light action. The flexibility of chambering/contour is definitely a benefit. That said, I had a buddy...

    What rifles are being used in NRL H factory class?

    I didn’t take issue with anything. My post was just for the OP or anyone looking at factory class that the seekins 6CM seemed to be the best option for someone wanting to maximize scores. I do find it a bit odd that NRL would allow smaller cartridges in factory class as its not like a factory...

    So what makes a solus a “custom” and therefor better?

    Tikka actions

    Aero sells bare actions so they are “custom” and better than “production”, never knew. So are their ARs “custom” and better than production too? Are the weatherby 307 actions “custom” too?

    What rifles are being used in NRL H factory class?

    Seekins 6 creed seems to be the answer if trying to game it best.

    Less concussive muzzlebrake?

    Bumping this one. For the CHAD users, is concussion on par with something like the ACE or pva jet blast or better?

    Barrel too hot?

    What they said. Shoot until the mirage is worse than you feel like dealing with.

    Stock design and trigger hand placement

    Because: That's how everyone else makes stocks.. Micky made the A5 and we should all copy the grip (sarcasm) Many hunters and people who dont shoot only know what a traditional sporter stock feels like and they think that's how it should be. "Vertical grips are good for prone but i dont shoot...

    Falkor Defense Actions

    The lightweight ones are attractive on a spec sheet for hunting builds.. No first hand experience though.

    Remove Tikka T3X series rifle factory barrel?

    I did the same for the first 3 tikkas i had rebarreled. If you're having a smith chamber a barrel, might as well have them break off the factory one too. Did the last one myself because it was just getting a ctr take off barrel swapped on and it wasn't that bad.

    Custom Action - tikka footprint

    Valid points but it sure seems like a lot of TT primarys and specials have issues as well. The only issue I've ever heard of with tikka triggers is that the single screw that holds them in place loosens up if people take them off and then dont torque them tight enough or use locktite.

    Custom Action - tikka footprint

    Odd.

    Threading lightweight barrel

    Can you elaborate? Too small to go without adding a shoulder yes but that's why i said i'd have a shoulder added. 0.630" is slightly larger than 5/8 major thread diameter. The picture in my post you quoted seems to have a barrel diameter very close to thread major diameter.

    Threading lightweight barrel

    It is the answer to lightweight barrels if a guy wants larger than 5/8 threads! To think, i used to consider elaborate fluting or a barrel cut down to nothing only to wrap some decorative carbon and glue around it at $200-$400 premium just to get lightweight with diameter for muzzle threads...

    Threading lightweight barrel

    I’d thread it 5/8x24 and have a shoulder added.

    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    All this talk of spare triggers.. I thought m700 platform triggers were reliable?

    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    They make a steel one that’s lighter than the ti one it seems? Why would anyone want the ti one in that case?
