    Tikka T3 Thread

    A few Super Varmints hit the shelves not too long ago. My buddy snatched one up in 6.5PRC

    Heavy buffers & Brass

    Did you make sure bcg was fully in battery? If it's cycling properly I don't see how a heavy buffer would cause any issues. Not sure if you're shooting outdoors but colder weather is making the oil/grease more viscous?

    AR-10 glass recommendations

    If you don't need a lot of features, consider the Athlon Midas Tac 5-25x56. Way under budget but that scope really impressed me for the price point. It's pretty much a no-frills Ares ETR.

    Rifle Scopes New Primary Arms PLXC 1-8 FFP

    I'm not too big on BDC reticles but in my opinion, that's just one thing you have to live with for extended ranges. They're not meant to be precise at further ranges where small variances have a more noticeable effect. I *think* they have their BDC reticle in Strelok where you can gauge the...

    CZ 457

    I'm very happy with my CZ 457 Pro Varmint. First time I actually measured groups(normally just plinking). Ammo is Wolf Match, but also had the same stamp as SK I was also using. I didn't measure the SK groups because it was me just drilling 20rds into a single target fairly quickly. Only...

    Best $1700 FFP 4-5xish by 24xish scope?

    Best is a little subjective. Can't really go wrong with any name-brand scopes in that price range(which there's a ton).

    Cz457 vs T1x vs b14r

    Tbf the left hand 457 just came out this year. I think XLR has been the most LH-friendly, mainly because they're actually modular in that they have a little plug for the side that's not being used. I actually considered a lefty T1X since my T3X chassis is already notched for it(KRG Bravo); but...

    Cz457 vs T1x vs b14r

    I'm happy with my (lefty) 457 Pro Varmint. Looks like T1X has more chassis available since they can use a T3X inlet. As far as triggers, I have a T3X, and my buddy has a T3X Super Varmint(factory 2-stage). I'd say both Tikkas are nicer than the CZ's but I haven't actually adjusted mine vs...

    CZ 457 Magazine Issues; 10 Round

    I bought 3 a couple months ago direct from CZ. No issues on any of them to speak of.

    Heavy buffers & Brass

    Kind of piggybacking this thread; but I'm reluctant to get rid of my JPSCS simply because I like the stock I'm using(carbine tube/Ruger RPR)...I put all tungsten weights and switched to the lightest spring they have(from "110" to "100"). Functions fine but brass ejected about 4 o'clock, but...

    What pistol do you use for self-protection out in public?

    LCP Max. I can carry that thing in athletic shorts! Goes in a chest pack when I jog.

    Heavy buffers & Brass

    Do you think the dual ejectors will make biggest difference?

    Heavy buffers & Brass

    I'm having the same type of damage on my 16" M&P10. Went to a Faxon 16" bbl(same AR10 carbine gas), JP SCSH2(heaviest setting/3 tungsten weights and also tried different springs) and Superlative AGB, BA BCG w/ FailZero bolt, and still have those marks. Switching to a Lancer eBCG helped a...

    RCC Brass Bankruptcy

    Easy to catalog and say you can do it. Hard to actually produce it.

    Rifle Scopes Does magnification equal accuracy?

    I have both of those scopes. Arken gets you illuminated reticle but that's about the only thing you gain over the Midas TAC. I actually prefer the Midas TAC over the EP5.

    Lpvo Help? Input needed please.

    Might want to look into the PA PLX Compact. It's FFP, lightweight, and has pretty good glass. I was considering the Razor G3 1-10x but hard to beat the PA, especially at the lower price.

    Lpvo Help? Input needed please.

    I like the PA reticles for up close work and found the chevron makes them usable at longer ranges. I have the PA PLX compact 1-8x with the Griffin Mil reticle on my Grendel right now, but I could probably use it on my M&P10 too(which currently has a GLX 4-16x that I'm looking to replace). My...

    Rifle Scopes What $500-ish mil/mil 4-16x with decent glass?

    I have the GLX 4-16 with Athena reticle. Only thing that stands out, that I like, is the reticle. Besides being kind of "mushy," the turrets only "lock on zero." It replaced(regrettably) an Athlon Helos BTR Gen2 2-12x that was on my M&P10; if the Athlon had a smaller center dot I would've...
