    Rifle Competition Events NRL-esque Rimfire Match - Crittenden, KY

    Yep - those are 2020 dates. My bad - Copy/pasted them in there, definitely understand how that can be confusing. Also can confirm the July 19th date - This is generally a monthly match (with occasional holiday exceptions, and barring COVID killing everyone).

    Rifle Competition Events NRL-esque Rimfire Match - Crittenden, KY

    I host a rimfire match that's NRL22-esque (same concept and rules, range restrictions limit us from directly following the monthly stage designs). We also augment the stages with a lot more long-range (100yd +) targets, with the longest shot being ~300yds. If you shoot (or want to shoot)...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I'm aware that many people don't bed chassis' to actions. Perhaps you should be aware that many also do. Rather than hash out that debate yet again and get nowhere, let's just assume it's not the end of the word if I skim bed things. If nothing improves or if I ruin my KRG it's cool I'll just...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    How are you guys dealing with bedding the Tikka action lug into a stock? Skim bed the lug, skim bed the lug recess only, leave it bare, etc? Anyone specifically have experience with bedding into a KRG chassis and found any gotchas? I'm going to skim bed my Tikka into a KRG soon and thought...

    What's the deal with Tikka?

    I wanted an action that I could get pre-fits for, that KRG made a chassis for, and that worked. That last part I would highlight a couple times over as a defining characteristic not always found in actions/triggers regardless of price. The lower price was enough that I could spend more money...

    Cperazza is g2g

    Shout out to Carlos on a great deal. This was a pretty high dollar transaction on am AX50 and Carlos was super professional and straight up. No issues at all, would not hesitate to deal with him again.

    Kinetic Research Group SOTIC?

    You know what might be easier/cheaper to do? Just create a new page on the KRG site for an 'advanced technical manual'. That would be just as (if not more) usable to me than a hard copy manual (which I could always print), and assumedly something that you could author just as easily as typing...

    Gas block leaking

    @bigjake83 Question about the adhesive: What's it take to remove the gas block after doing this? Heat and a little bigger hammer, or such a pain in the ass you try to avoid it if at all possible?

    Imported carbon fiber tripod (RT90C)

    I am still new to tripods, help me understand: What's the compelling reason to go with the RT80/85 over the 90c model at all? Doesn't the 90c have a higher load rating / better stability, larger bowl (for more head options) and cost about the same?

    The Fix from Q

    @tinytigers That's an interesting observation about the light strike issue really just being caused by the bolt handle moving upwards. My rifle is also a really early serial number with the heavy bolt throw. Wouldn't mind experimenting with that this weekend. Can you reproduce the light...

    The Fix from Q

    Hunted in rain / snow / mud... doesn't get as dusty around here. This has been hunting around KY/OH/IN and TX, not some hardcore sheep hunt. Only mechanical issues I had were (very) early on, with my 6.5CM and light strikes (factory Hornady ammo). Nothing w/ my 308 barrel since then, and mine...
