    Tikka durability question

    I have one Tikka action with currently over 12,000 rounds (223j. It’s on its third barrel, first two got pulled around 7500 and 8000 rounds. All factory hammer forged barrels, second two were take off from new rifles getting converted to special purpose. Shot almost exclusively 80 Bergers in...

    Rifle Scopes 1/8 minute scopes

    SFP and FFP scopes here, MIL and MOA. What I like about 1/8 MOA, is the ability to set a zero closer to dead nuts, with zero offset required in ballistic solver. In F or 1000 BR, can be the difference of an X or a point here or there. 1/4 @ 100 doesn’t seem like much, but obviously the further...

    2403-yard shot on a can of red bull, sounds like a load of bull.

    Screen shot from a You Tube vid, ‘March 80x” posted by world BR champ Stuart Elliott. Not quite bullet holes, patches for sure.

    2403-yard shot on a can of red bull, sounds like a load of bull.

    Cleaning…..barrels…. velocity creep is a thing. Load tuning for a fouled barrel is my potato. Did I see IOR mentioned above? 🤣 Cmon man not one Schott joke?

    Rifle Scopes March 1.5-15x42 inquiry

    Impressive action from a small, innovation driven company with virtually no advertising budget. I’ve read that most of their profit goes into R & D, many other players in the industry could take note.

    No, I have had this discussion with several members before. I consciously only purchase items from 5 eyes or allied countries. I can’t be bothered to list everything in my house again. I primarily shoot ELR, and have used discreet professional solvers not available publicly. ‘User friendly‘ is...

    fav group and "song"

    ‘Indigo dreamscapes’, Parallel Realities album version, Pat Metheny, Herbie Hancock and Jack De Jonette. Would sound amazing on Maggots sound system . Preferably via vinyl source, but 44.1 CD is ok. EDIT, and Kenny Kirklands piano solo on the live in Paris version of Stings ‘Bring on the...

    So, I guess for some people here supporting US made shooting products is not a thing?

    “Texas Plinking” 1 MOA/1K Yard Challenge Videos

    No wind flags, plenty of mirage, and not using barn door targets. It’s a good real world comp. A few guys in Ep 7 made good wind corrections but were still high. Always good to know how far the berm is behind target, for elevation corrections. That 50 made me cringe a bit, not the recoil, but...

    “Texas Plinking” 1 MOA/1K Yard Challenge Videos

    X ring is 5 inches, 10 ring is 10 inches. I shoot F occasionally for a local team, as a ‘ring in’ shooter. Last time out my cold bore (fouled barrel) sighter shot @ 1000 was a ’pin’, or dead centre. You get two sighter shots, then 10 for score, but you can convert a sighter to score, but must...

    One of my best friends cancer just came back... probably not addressable this time...

    I know your pain, lost dear friends the same way. Cancer is such a low shitty bitch disease. There are many things we can collectively fight, and some of us have considerable resources at our disposal. It’s not just the loss of a good person that eats me, but the inability to stare the problem...

    The Official “All Audi Drivers are Douche bags” Thread

    Hired a C class Benz recently. Bout 10k on the odo, rattly trim and no W126 series ‘bank vault‘ clunk, as the door closes anymore. The Toyota Camry I got the week before was screwed together better. I Have a 90’s mk 2 golf that is refusing to die, just cockroaches it way thru the decades...

    What do the top 2 mile shooters use?

    Can’t remember which model 50 you have Maggot? If it’s a turn bolt gun, Maybe you can put aside some hifi valve money for a re barrel to 416 Barrett, which uses 50BMG as a parent case. A 375 variant running solids in the 400 grain neighbourhood is prolly the minimum entry point. Yeah concussion...

    This guy is going to tell us how to be masculine

    Maybe that fudgepacker watched a Village People video? Wasn’t there a construction worker, a cowboy and a cop in there somewhere?🤣😂🤣 And they did have a song called ‘Macho man’……

    Time pieces/Watches?

    Rolex have just delivered a blow to the Swatch empire. Rolex recently purchased Bucherer, a retail chain of over 100 retailers in UK/EU, and Torneau in the USA. Bucherer/Torneau sell a lot of Swatch group brands. Rolex will therefore get the retail profit from every Swatch group watch, sold in...

    TEXAS PRISON JUSTICE: Prolific Texas serial killer Billy Chemirmir serving life sentence beaten and stabbed to death by another inmate.

    Looked After looking at the faces of the victims, can’t help but think of their partners, children, grandchildren. Hope it was a slow beating. Another beer….
