    New Tikka t3 lite on the way and a few questions on upgrades

    I payed with the MDT LSS at the Tulsa gun show. I was very impressed. They told me a couple weeks ago the Tikka LSS chassis are getting finished and should be available the end of the month. They want dome to show at SHOT next month so I'm sure they will be finished soon. My left handed...

    New Tikka t3 lite on the way and a few questions on upgrades

    Actually thinking of a bolt & barrel fluting for my little 300 Blackout rig with the heavier barrel. Then it needs to have the metal Cera Koted, stock painted or dipped, and on and on. These things are getting to be an addiction.

    New Tikka t3 lite on the way and a few questions on upgrades

    MDT now has their Tikka T3 Chassis available. I talked to these guys at the Tulsa gun show and was able to see some their offerings. Very nice stuff. My left handed LSS chassis was made about a week ago. It's supposed to be back soon from the finisher and then off to me. My last...

    New Tikka t3 lite on the way and a few questions on upgrades

    I have 2 of the Hinterland bolt / knobs & metal bolt shrouds on a couple T3s. Love them, however the bolt knobs are VERY large. Very well made and fairly easy to install. I have a new to me T3 260 Rem lefty coming my way this week and I'd like to find an alternative to the large bolt knob...

    Hunting & Fishing One top tier all around hunting rifle

    Blaser R8.Used mine to take everything from prairie dogs to Cape Buffalo. Plus, being left handed, to offers me the selection of calibers unmatched by any other rifle platform. And when my wit sand I hunt together we'll often just bring a right handed bolt for when it's her turn on the...

    Hunting & Fishing sierra gameking

    I use the 165 GK in my 30-06 and have downed many deer with it. My buddy used the same bullet in his 308 in Africa for plains game with no issues. Don't think I'll take mine to Africa, but they are my go to deer round in the 165.

    Hunting & Fishing First Bird Hunt With New Shotgun

    Well, Dr/Ms Chopperguy is the proud owner of a new F3 Game Gun. This nice little F3 is the recently imported slightly under 7 pounds 12 bore Blaser shotgun that I've fallen in love with. The Game Gun has a more open Prince of Wales grip radius and a slender English style fore end with no...

    Custom Tikka T3 Lite by Chad at LongRifles Inc

    What did your rifle end up weighing after all the work? I've been thinking of such a build in a 300 WSM for a lightweight hunting rig. Great looking rifle.

    Hunting & Fishing Needing help with Ticks!

    This is a great plan. I live in tick/lyme central here and use this method for all my hunting ventures in the woods. If scent control is not an issue, I use this and good deet spray. Just not worth the risk for contracting one of the several tick borne diseases so common today. I speak from...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns CCA's Side Arm Work Thread....

    Michael did a grip reduction for me on a Glock 19. Had the grip taken down to Glock 26 dimensions and worked over for better gripping surface. Nice carry piece. Smaller grip aids in concealment plus, the longer barrel makes it a better shooter. CCA does great work and I'm sure I'll be back...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce 2.5-10x42 .... This is what was missing !! :)

    Can't get the pic you want as I only shoot Blaser rifles and ARs so no turn bolts for photos. The Cat tail is short enough I can't imagine it ever interfering with bolt manipulation. The clicks are more affirmative than any on my 2.5-10x32 models.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce 2.5-10x42 .... This is what was missing !! :)

    Got the 2 I ordered from Euro Optics from the UPS man yesterday. First impression is REALLY favorable. The glass is much better to my eye. I compared it next to my 3.5-10x32 and could notice a distinct difference in brightness and clarity. The illumination gets really dim for that real low...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sig P290rs

    I bought my wife the P290RS for her carry handgun. She loves shooting it and is very accurate with it. She had gone through SEVERAL other handguns for carry before the P290. She liked this one from the start. I also got her the Sig laser for it and now she's DEADLY accurate with it. Laser...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Any revolver shooters? Show em

    Picked these up a couple months ago at my LGS. The Model 19 was representative of my first police duty handgun after I got out of the Air Force. The Model 25, 45 Colt was what I carried when on a Warrant squad with the US Marshal's Service. The original grips also came with each. The...

    Leica 1600 B?

    I have this unit and really use the atmospheric and angle data most. Haven't used the ballistic data much as I've verified my dope cards and have complete density altitude set available for my serious long range rifles and loads. The angle is the most valuable feature IMHO. And the ranging...

    I'm making my own range, yesterday I made a nice (I think) raised 8x8 shooting platform.

    Good looking set up. I'm going to set up something like this for my archery/22 rimfire range in my back yard/field. Have fun with it.
