    Tikka T3X Lite and suppressor?

    3 options: 1: Cut the barrel back to give enough barrel diameter for a 5/8-24 thread with shoulder 2: Cut the barrel for a 5/8-24 thread with no shoulder 3: Cut the barrel for a 5/8-24 thread long then put a taper after the thread. Then cut a 5/8-24 thread cap to make a shoulder with a taper...

    Axial Form Factor

    What distance did you shoot for your dope? If less than 500 adjust the MV. Then past 500 adjust form factor. At 500 yards and a 140 eld 25 fps is worth about a tenth of a mil and .05 axial form factor is only work a couple hundredths of a mil. Basically what I am saying is inside 500 your MV...

    You won't touch what you really want for that much money. Now not saying that is a bad rifle, but you will be left wanting. I'd say buy an origin, keystone accuracy barrel and a bravo. Similar cost without a rigger and when you finally decide to go up in rifle you should get more money out of it...

    What I am saying is that even if you shoot 3k rounds of 6.5 creed, when you move to the larger rifle you will still have to keep shooting a decent volume to keep those fundamentals up. What is you budget for the base rifle?

    Ok, how many rounds do you think you will shoot a year at ELR ranges? I ask because I think you are being unrealistic in your assumptions and kinda need to come to terms. In order to really be proficient in shooting ELR you really need to be rock solid in fundamentals. The only way to be rock...

    At 2200 yards you don't really need to move to the 375/416. A 300 Norma or 7-300 PRC will do just fine with that kind of range and doesn't require the huge bolt face and round cost.

    Maybe I missed it. What is the ELR range you will be able to shoot? Like how many yards?

    Or you can explain the position and show that it is more fiscally responsible.

    @joelinux I have a little different perspective, if you want to shoot a cal like 375/416 you are going to need to have 2 rifles. You won't be able to keep the 375/416 in ammo or barrels for any amount of shooting to keep up with the fundamentals to shoot at ELR distances. You will save money...

    Custom Action (Bighorn Origin) or Tikka T3x

    Well from reading the origin thread most of the work that needs done is just timing the trigger. I believe it is something that big horn or any good smith will do for a nominal fee. That way it is perfect to be assembled.

    Custom Action (Bighorn Origin) or Tikka T3x

    Ever noticed that the silver non coated Carbon Steel bolt doesn't rust? It is super hard.

    Custom Action (Bighorn Origin) or Tikka T3x

    That I can agree on. Big Horns customer service is incredible, but my experience with getting a buddy's rifle together did have some hiccups that required the action to be shipped back to Big Horn for some parts/fitting to get it running 100%. Only reason I would dissuade the OP from going that...
