    Rifle Scopes Nightforce SHV vs. Viper PST GEN 2

    I don't have a NF SHV, but I spent a decent amount of time comparing the Vortex PST G2 with my ATACR's, and Bushnell LRTSi/LRHS. I was really surprised with how well the PST held up in those comparisons. I was expecting there to be a much larger difference in the glass than was actually...

    MDT ACC Chassis

    Thanks Josh, fortunately my gunsmith lives 15min from my house and is a good friend, took the chassis around and he sorted the inletting in 15min, T1X drops in nicely ?

    MDT ACC Chassis

    I have three. On one I run all the weights. With a NF 7-35, bipod, and 26' Medium Palma it's right at 24.7lb, it's really stupidly heavy and I'd definitely strip all the weights (can bring the total down to 17.6lb) if I was carrying it any meaningful distance. It's addictive to dial the scope up...

    MDT ACC Chassis

    The gunsmithing is only required if you bought one of the earliest models, the newer ones come properly inletted

    MDT ACC Chassis

    Josh, would you mind elaborating on this? I removed my magazine latch but it appears that my T1x won't drop into the ACC. I've sent a message via the Customer Service portal on the website and am waiting on a response. It looks as though attaining fitment would require some serious tools, not...

    interested in your thoughts about the x20 vs x32, pros and cons?

    MasterPiece Arms Unveiling A New Chassis

    I always love to see innovation, but I think MDT nailed grip adjustability with the ACC in a pretty elegant way. I swore off chassis for years due to preferring the grip feel of a stock. Since trying the ACC most my Manners are up for sale.

    20 inch 6BR Velocity

    That's excellent velocity from a 20' barrel, I'll have to look hard at h4895, thanks.

    20 inch 6BR Velocity

    Hide, I'm trying to get reliable data re velocity numbers for a 20 inch 6BR (8 twist) running 80 & 105gr projectiles. Varget is my preferred powder since I'm sitting on a fair bit of it. Any info appreciated.

    Remove Tikka T3X series rifle factory barrel?

    I am a cheap bastard :) Barrel cost me $120, collar and headspacing from my smith cost $80. $200 for a fitted barrel that will hold it's own with a custom tube is my kind of price. Also, this project was for a short range brush gun that will occasionally be shot out of a chopper (hence the 17...

    Remove Tikka T3X series rifle factory barrel?

    Mate sold me a ctr barrel that had the relief cut for removal. My smith made a shim/collar and it works perfectly.

    Bolt Action Mags- How many?

    I have 5 AICS 10 round mags, one MDT 10 rounder, one ARC 10 rounder (that Pucking Sucks). 4 AICS 5 rounders and one Magpul 5 rounder. I also have two of the PVA 6BR mag kits. All of this covers 3 actions and seven barrels :)

    6.5Cm 140 vs 147 bullets?

    I get 2650fps out of my Tikka 20' barrel with the 147gr ELDM. Shot a doe in the neck and the bullet did not exit. Shot was at around 70m. They are a fragile projectile but kill well if you avoid bone.

    MDT ACC Chassis

    Josh, when you say "the new production ACC Tikka T3's are directly compatible with the Tikka T1x!" does that imply that the initial versions are not compatible?

    Nightforce 4-16x50 F1

    There's not a lot of info out there on this scope. Anyone run one? I've got a 7-35 with the Mil-XT and I'm eyeing the 4-16 with the same reticle for a more compact/lighter weight rifle for shorter-range matches and a bit of hunting. I know the NX8...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce 4-16x50 F1

    Awesome. Can you confirm the NF specs re FOV? Seems that despite the larger objective on the 50mm there's virtually no change to FOV? I'm not sure how they managed that :)

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    Nothing particularly fancy. Tikkas chopped short.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce 4-16x50 F1

    Me neither, I wonder why the field of view specs between the 4-16x42 and the 4-16x50 aren't more pronounced, I would have thought the 50m objective would produce better numbers than the NF website suggests. That said I'm still chasing user feedback on the 4-16x50 ATACR, I like that NF scaled the...

I've got a 7-35 with the Mil-XT and I'm eyeing the 4-16 with the same reticle for a more compact/lighter weight rifle for shorter-range matches and a bit of hunting. I know the NX8 models are all the rage but I'd prefer to stay...

    MDT ACC Chassis

    I now have two ACC's. One that has all the weights added and another that has none of the weights - totally different setups both of which shine in their respective use cases. Had a minor hiccup with the rail spec on one chassis but MDT took care of it fast. The adjustability is phenomenal. I...
