    Harris vs Atlas?

    There are people who actually do prefer the Harris to the Atlas and have gone back from the Atlas to the Harris, so there is some preference involved. Objectively the Atlas has a better foot system but the Harris is faster to deploy which is one reason some like it more. Also if you are going to...

    Howa vs Tikka Action

    I saw that. It looks sweet, but my wife is already pissed enough at what I spent on my current Tikka to let me build a .22 replica trainer. I could say its for her but she wouldn't go for it. That is a good point though for those trying to decide for whom the ability to build a trainer would be...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Allegedly they break and fall off, though in the 11 years I had the stock plastic shroud on my Tikka I never had that happen. There has been some conjecture that if a case head ruptures it keeps gases from jetting into your face, but the reality is that a small piece of aluminum wouldn't offer...

    Rifle Scopes WTF means this?

    He's trying to say that a scope performs best at half its max power. I.e. he doesn't know what he's talking about

    Howa vs Tikka Action

    Tikka has really been coming into its own in terms of aftermarket support, obviously not on the same level as Remington as there aren't custom actions based off of it, but the KRG guys really like them and have an inlet for them in their big 3 chassis systems. MPA, Cadex, and a lot of the other...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    The bolt stop pertains to LA/SA, the LA stop lets the bolt travel farther back before it stops its travel. For example if you want to go from .308 to 30-06 you just need a barrel and bolt stop, I think heads are the same. To go from .308 to .223 you need a barrel and bolt head as they are both...

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

    Yeah I just keep mine .45. I've never seen .460 Rowland ammo in person and never even heard of a .40 super until this thread

    Scope rings--When is "good enough" good enough?

    I bought a scope with a 35mm tube, that made the choice to get Seekins/Vortex PMRs pretty easy. They are on a Warne 20 MOA rail that I am happy with; some of the Tikka rails overhang the front of the receiver and I don't care for that. Usually once you get to scopes with tubes larger than 34mm...

    Go/no go gauges

    + 1 on Manson, I have a set of their CIP gauges (Go, No-Go, and Field). I also have a set of Clymer SAAMI spec gauges. IIRC they use different datum points

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

    Back on topic, I took mine to shoot the qual for my CHL and ended up shooting 1 point away from a possible, they are good shooters. I would not try to conceal it due to its size though. I got one of the Safariland drop legs for it when they first came out, I don't think the holsters were in...

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

    That was actually in Texas, but J'ville is definitely more relaxed than SoCal. We used to shoot trap in my buddy's backyard (he had a bit of land) in 2014 when I was first stationed there. I'll be content to not get stationed in Cali.

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

    I think that's probably state dependent. When I went out to my buddy's property when I was younger we'd go out into the woods after squirrels and stuff with pistols

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

    Ok so if you want to describe it that way it was purchased by my dad and used exclusively by me until I turned 21. I suppose that goes for the 12 gauge I got when I was 12 also. Was that really necessary? I'd like to think most shooters got their start before turning 18

    Serious question: how old were you when you got (not purchased) your first firearm?

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

    New? Unless I am missing something the FNX is just a slightly updated version of the FNP-45 which came out in 2006. I got mine when I was in high school right when they came out; its a very early one and is decocker only-no manual safety. The Tac is just a version with the threaded barrel and...

    KRG Bravo Chassis

    Is there a way to order just the Tikka cheekpiece for my Bravo? It came with the R700 style when I ordered it at the beginning of the year and I'd like to be able to bring the cheekpiece up another 1/4" which is right where the cocking indicator hits it. I didn't see it listed separately on your...

    Agreed, I prefer 10 round AICS to 5 rounders

    Gunsmithing Tikka magazine retainer clip

    Good to hear man; I was going to PM you and ask if it got there but I just got off work and was working late last night too. I wasn't going to use either again, I am sold on my KRG chassis, and my wife has been trying to get me to reduce my stockpile of takeoff parts before we move this Summer...
