    Tikka T3 Thread

    I have the original stock to my T3 Varmint with the beavertail forend and non adjustable cheek riser. Its an older model from 2007 but my Tikka is in a chassis now so I'm not going to use it. I'll let it go cheap.

    Harris vs Atlas?

    That seems to be one of the biggest gripes with Atlas; IIRC the more expensive PSR model has non-rotating legs

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Ordered everything to reconfigure my bipod setup today: I am going from a Harris 1A2-LM 9-13" leg notch w/o swivel to a Harris S-LM, which is the same 9-13" leg notch bipod, just with the swivel head. I also ordered the Harris direct mount from KRG to mount directly to my spigot instead of using...

    Greatest Bolt Action Battle Rifle in History...

    It doesn't take twice as long to reload a 10 round mag with 2 chargers as it does a 5 rounder with one charger, and it doesn't take the same amount of time to reload a 5 rounder twice. You're removing it from your shoulder fewer times and staying focused on your targets. The brits didn't move...

    This is absurd; in a conflict where semi and full automatics were a rarity, and Napoleonic line tactics were being shoehorned in despite their obsolescence decades earlier, it made a big difference. Reloading half as often as your enemy is a huge advantage, not everyone started the war using...

    As a practical matter I'd avoid anything too exotic if its going to be a daily. You don't want something that will be hard to get parts for, and when you can find them they'll be expensive

    It means a Nigerian prince is going to be emailing you with instructions to help him get his fortune out of the country. If you send him your bank account information he will reward you handsomely.

    Yes. I actually didn't read the bad reviews until after I had ordered.

    I like a lot less sweep and went with this one as I also like the teardrop shaped knob, it was exactly what I was looking for. I did not have any issues getting my handle or bolt shroud from Glades. http://gladesarmory.com/tikka/77/tikka-t3-rh-2-black-anodized-tactical-knob.html

    I didn't realize the P14/17 were cock on closing. Seems I need to get my hands on one

    Anyone use the KRG Harris Direct mount?

    Alrighty then, guess I'll be the first. I'll give y'all my thoughts and post some pics once its on.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns FNH FNX 45 Tactical - Good Gun? vs G20/21

    I mean the melonite slide doesn't exactly match the black of the polymer either-that's a nitpick with either color. They are shooters for sure.

    Anyone use the KRG Harris Direct mount?

    I am upgrading my bipod from the 1A2-LM I bought over a decade ago to an S-LM. Both are the 9-13" with leg notch, but the one I have doesn't have the swivel feature. It is currently mounted via swivel stud to the spigot (regular, not ARCA) on my KRG Bravo, and its on there pretty solid with a...

    They're called that because you buy a Wrangler and end up putting a lift and bigger tires on it, then you put a bigger lift on and swap out the axles to Dana 60s so you can put on even bigger tires, then you regear because you need more gear to turn the tires, then you swap in a V8 for more...

    He means the Grand Cherokee, the Cherokee is based off of a FWD platform. The Grand Cherokee (and Durango which is basically the 3 row version) is built on the same architecture as the Mercedes GL SUVs. The 8HP transmissions they are using are about as bulletproof as a stock auto comes, and the...

    Tacomas get about the same mileage as an F150 or Ram/GM 1500 (assuming its a V6 Taco). Tundras will get about 4 MPG less, the rest of their line is pretty fuel efficient (prius/hybrids) so they don't really do anything to help their trucks' MPG like Ford/Ram/GM do. I have to agree that a truck...

    Mauser is no doubt easily the most influential. The number of copies in its day and continued use to today in various forms make that pretty clear. Its not the greatest though, that goes to the Enfield. The 10 round magazine and cock on close make it way faster to cycle and shoot and you get...

    Harris vs Atlas?

    I am curious as to how the Magpul will compare. I think its safe to say it'll be light, but not sure about how sturdy

    Rifle Scopes SFP vs FFP Scopes

    I used to have a SFP, but I found only being able to range at 12X on a 4.5-14 was kind of a boner. Much happier with my FFP, and in situations where the reticle is hard to see I can just turn the illum up

    Harris vs Atlas?

    I guess I should add that I keep my bipod on the rifle. I use it for hunting and stuff too and I don't carry around a sack of bipods or swap out feet
