    Imported carbon fiber tripod (RT90C)

    I have. I have a rail on my Bravo and it slides in and locks up tight. Ive made hits on MOA steel out to 800 from standing position. I’ve never tried the RRS tripods or heads but the rt90c and bh-55 have been awesome in my experience.

    Seekins HAVAK Precision Rifle

    Between those three options you’ll have to decide what your plan is to do with the rifle. To hunt open country out west for deer and elk the 6.5 PRC. If you plan to bang steel I’d go with 6CM. If you plan on steel and keep shots at big (elk, deer) game under 500yds I’d go with 6.5CM.... all...

    Seekins HAVAK Precision Rifle

    you’ve got to take the bad reports with a grain of salt. Most people are quick to comment if they had a bad experience but don’t always comment if they’ve good experiences... I know for myself I’ve had nothing but positives with my PH1 6CM rifle. I just got off the phone with them today about...

    Tikka rebarrel question

    So after looking for used and new guns it looks like there are some good deals on a new 300 win lite for $480... figure I could sell the barrel, stock, and bottom metal. I then would probably grab a 6.5 PRC proof prefit. Then put it in a KRG Bravo with wsm mags and install a 20moa rail. Would...

    Suggestions on buying my first PRS rifle

    Another option is find the cheapest tikka for a donor action and then buy a prefit in 6.5 or 6 CM and throw it together in a Bravo. Could be close to same price as a new CTR if you plan on putting it in a Bravo anyways.

    Tikka rebarrel question

    thank you for the info. Looks like I’ll call my Smith and see what it’ll cost to open up the bolt head vs buying a magnum bolt. Not sure yet on Mags. What are the best and smoothest? I’d plan on running factory for awhile. I have a buddy who uses factory and it prints tiny clover leafs with...

    Tikka rebarrel question

    So I was hoping someone could answer a couple questions... I’ve got a ctr 6.5cm that is like to rebarrel to a 6.5 PRC. Is that doable? It sits in a bravo stock as of right now. If it is doable. What parts And modifications would I need to do to make it all functional and reliable?

    Suggestions on buying my first PRS rifle

    Tikka ctr 6.5cm. Sell stock, bottom metal. Then buy krg bravo ctr. Scope would be used Athlon btr 4.5-27. All up should be around 1600-1650. For cheap ammo the Hornady American gunner holds MOA out to 800 in my set up.

    Shooting Both Eyes Open with optics..Do You?

    Both eyes open for optic rifles and shotguns. For some reason I closed my left eye when shooting lever actions.

    300 prc Mesa long range

    I probably woulda asked that question before I bought lol.... But from my experience (300 win) it was sub moa and fit and finish was nice. I wasn’t a fan of the thin wrist/grip area. I sent it down the road and got a Barrett fieldcraft in 6.5 for my hunting rig.... I’m sure it’ll be a nice...

    What's the deal with Tikka?

    How is everyones barrels before needing cleaning... my 6.5 CTR is a tack driver with factory ammo for about 40-50 shots then accuracy falls off a bit. I do a full cleaning and they tighten back up. Not a big deal but just curious if anybody else seeing the same thing.

    Seekins rifle ? /lightweight rilfe

    Just a side note. Barrett is stopping production, for the time being, of the fieldcraft because of a military contract. For your fathers condition I’d also look at the .243. The Fieldcraft 243 twist is 1-7 so you can shoot the heavies if you like or shoot the 80gr ttsx for a very light recoiling...

    Seekins rifle ? /lightweight rilfe

    The fieldcraft is an unreal factory flyweight rig. The stock is stiff and lightweight. It’s not full length bedded but Barrett does bed the recoil lug and action perfectly, very tight fit. Mine is the 21in 6.5cm flavor and shoots eldx .75 out to 800 yards. For an all up (sling scope rings and...

    Seekins HAVAK Precision Rifle

    The havak 6creed loves the factory 108’s. Mine has around 300 rounds down the tube and really tightened up after 100. I take it out to 1000 regularly. Here’s a few groups from 500-1000 500 yards 800 yard 3 shot group 1000 yards I can’t speak highly enough of these rifles. I’ve got much...

    $600 Rifle Budget (What To Buy)

    I’ve already posted my thoughts on going with the tikka ctr 6.5. I just found a picture of the first two groups down the pipe, and figured I should post them up. I believe these are the norm not the expection with these rifles... this with American Gunner factory ammo!!

    $600 Rifle Budget (What To Buy)

    Save up for the tikka ctr... my 6.5 CTR shoots the Hornady American gunner factory ammo .5 moa alllll day out to 800. The only upgrade I’ve done is trigger spring and put it into a bravo stock but the factory is just as good. I shot the same group size in factory and bravo set ups. I saved the...

    Budget Setup For Beginner (Need Advice)

    Well lucky for you there are lots of good options out there. 5 years ago it would be tougher to do what your trying on your budget. Most all of the newer OEM rifle producers are pumping out sub MOA rifles. For under $500 I’d pick a 6.5 creedmoor in Ruger American. My buddy has one and it’s silly...
