    Scott Satterlee ‘OCW’ Question

    I’d go for that node at 2805. That is a common accuracy speed for the Creedmoor.

    223 Long Action?

    Tikka T3 and T3x are all long action in .223. The T3x Varmint has a 1:8 twist barrel. If you replace the stock with a Tikka CTR stock, it will accept MDT magazines, and you have a reliable 10 round .223 with 2.5+” from the magazine. I restocked mine and used CTR bottom metal. Works great...

    Rifle Scopes What scopes are you hoping for at Shot Show 2018?

    I think I’ would rather have the integrated ballistic solver in my spotting scope rather than my rifle scope. LRF, solver and spotting scope in one package

    Sako TRG / TRG-S M995 Thread **Sticky??**

    Here are some info and pictures of my TRG. I just rebarreled it to 6.5 Creedmoor, with a 26” 1:8 Bartlein medium palma. I have made about 5 laminated riflestocks now, and this is my latest. Baltic birch core with outer layers of zebrawood. Still uses the TRG chassis and trigger, and the stock...

    I'm interested, but since I have a Kidd, I will wait until the version compatible with the Kidd tang. I'm assuming January?

    Dream Rifle

    I cannot decide on just one dream rifle. I have built several. They are all nice in their own way. Give in to the dark side, build more that one.

    6.5mm Creedmoor vs 6.5mmx47 vs .260 Rem

    Yep. 6.5SLR. All the ballistic advantages of the 260, all the brass advantages of a 30-degree shoulder. Cheaper brass. I'm getting great accuracy with both H4350 and H4831SC. 2900-ish fps. Chrono says one thing, drop in Mils at 1000 says another.

    Why no tube guns?

    I agree with all of the above. I have two Eliseo tubeguns, an RTS in 6.5SLR and an RTM in .284 Win. I love them both. I would recommend a medium Palma contour barrel. Mine are HV contours, and the rifles get heavy. One is a trued 700 action, the other is a Mutant. I do not see an accuracy...

    looking for .260: IMR4831140amax

    I also have an H4831SC load for the 260/6.5SLR. Hornady 140 AMAX, 48.2 gr H4831SC, CCI BR-2, Winchester 243 Win brass. 2850 fps, SD 4.12, .3moa. 100% case fill, or a bit more. Very nice, for when my H4350 runs out.

    Need a left hand stock for a BAT tactical which one Manners or Mcmillan?

    I have both. I like the Manners better, but they both are great stocks.

    Recommend a Tikka T3

    Get a T3 in 260 Rem, Varmint contour barrel. I'd say get the spotter, but that is the priciest one. I've seen some nice used 595s advertised for sale for around $600. Used might be a good option.
