    My arm-board strategy for a field match, what do you use?

    That’s what I currently use and they are good for exactly what you see in that pic and that’s about it. They aren’t very big so there isn’t much room to get into detail on complex stages. They are a good solution if you don’t write much down. Stock up on alcohol prep pads also (eraser).

    Gunsmithing Tikka prefit headspace issue?

    So I spun the barrel back off yesterday cleaned both mating surfaces thoroughly and torqued it back on to 75ft/lbs and that seemed to help. Measured headspace with tape and go gauge... it seems i lost .002 and fired brass from first time won’t close in chamber. Won’t be able to try it until...

    Gunsmithing Tikka prefit headspace issue?

    @Praeger So I guess the threads are already stretched so removing the barrel and retorqueing wouldn’t help? The headspace on the fires brass was .006 and the tape/ no go gauge measured .006 so maybe it didn’t stretch much if at all.

    Gunsmithing Tikka prefit headspace issue?

    @dustingaunder I did use calipers to measure the tape and when squeezed it was .005 and .006 when not, if that’s what you mean by operator input. I want to shoot factory ammo from this so hopefully I can figure this out. Thanks everyone for your responses so far.

    Gunsmithing Tikka prefit headspace issue?

    Agreed. I know this is different brass and cartridge but I’ve seen cratered primers when I loaded some hot 308 with almost no brass flow or hard bolt lift(tikka also).

    Gunsmithing Tikka prefit headspace issue?

    The primer in the pic doesn’t look bad but there is definitely brass flow into the ejector and extractor on both Hornady Precision hunter 200gr eldx and federal blue box 180.

    Gunsmithing Tikka prefit headspace issue?

    No I haven’t. I spun the brand new barrel off and spun the new proof on. The only other thing I could think of is the bullet is jammed into the lands but there are no marks on the bullet from the rifling when loading and ejecting an unfired round.

    Gunsmithing Tikka prefit headspace issue?

    New at this and know just enough to be dangerous. So I bought a new tikka 300wsm and screwed a proof carbon fiber shouldered prefit on, checked the head space with a go gauge then put a piece of masking tape over the back of the gauge for a no go gauge and the bolt closed... hmm so I put 2...

    That’s impressive! I’m sure you could sell a few of those if you wanted too.

    My arm-board strategy for a field match, what do you use?

    I find myself dropping points for shooting targets out of order on complicated stages and often wondered how I could manage my dope better. This definitely helps. One question I have is why do you call out your dope instead of the range or your partners dope?

    I am also debating between these two For a LR hunting rifle . The Mark5 I paid for is now on backorder and contemplating going to an atacr 4-16x42. Def like the mil-c over any of leupys reticles. With that maybe I have answered my own question but Interested in hearing others experiences also.

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    I use Sam’s pic rail spigot and the cal clears an Arca Rail. I ran an Arca Rail that extended past the forend and found there was too much flex in the rail so I hacked it off and touched it up with some sharpie. Also ran an atlas spigot adapter and didn’t like the wobble.
