    New rifle not liking soft points

    Re: New rifle not liking soft points Although quite a few people use them on thin skined game, Sierra itself doesn't recomend SMK's for hunting. I'm sure you'd be happier with one of Barnes' offerings. I will say though that I believe your aversion to ballistic tips for killing is...

    Cheaper then Dirt Boycott

    Re: Cheaper then Dirt Boycott Capitalism my ass. Some of these people were jacking prices 400% on some items. They were taking advantage of people in a bad situation, the very people that have kept them in business all these years, for no other reason than greed. Some of you are right...

    "What I need"?

    Re: "What I need"? No need to complicate this. It dosn't matter what context they use the word in. It dosn't matter what way they're asking we might "need" it. As a free man, I can obtain anything I want (within the law, as long as I'm not infringing on others rights) for no other reason...

    "What I need"?

    If I hear one more person in the media tell me what I NEED or don't NEED, I'm gonna blow a f'n gasket. We don't need houses as big as we have. We don't need multiple autos. We don't need all the clothes and shoes we have. We don't need a 60" TV and $2k sound system. Looking at my stomach...

    B&C medalist A5

    Re: B&C medalist A5 All Medalists stocks (that I know of) have that chassis. As you can see in the pic, it is much deeper in the stock once you get to the barrel channel. You would have to sand though 1/8" of materieal to get to where you would see aluminum, its not just painted over. If...

    wind flags

    Re: wind flags Thanks all, and, I've made them and it is no " big deal" . I was just told there were some that would actually help you estimate wind speed by their attitude and I thought they might give me some kind of a "base line" . Battleaxe, didn't take it as an insult at all, that's...

    Re: Tikka T3 Picture Thread. Yeah, I saw CDI made an aluminum replacement that uses the AICS mags but I think I'd just stik w the polymer if I couldn't get steel. I'm getting a little ahead of myself here anyway. Thanks for the info. Okie

    Tikka T3 Picture Thread.

    Re: Tikka T3 Picture Thread. I wasnt trashing Tikka in any way. I just had some concerns about a rifle I was interested in (I'm still concidering it) and thought this would be the best place to get to the truth, instead, I get a few thin skinned Tikka fans who act like they've been insulted...
