    Tikka T3 Tactical or T3 Scout--which one?

    Re: Tikka T3 Tactical or T3 Scout--which one? Shop around, dealers can flex off the MSRP. http://www.eurooptic.com/tikka-t3-tactical-rifles.asp I (would) prefer the T3Tac. It is accurate and the threaded muzzle is useful if/when needed for brakes/supp, etc. Stick around if you don't like...

    Maggie’s Wyoming/Montana/South Dakota Snowmobiling?

    Re: Wyoming/Montana/South Dakota Snowmobiling? Where in MT and WY? West Yellowstone has several shops to go into the park. The Black Hills area has the more consistent snow and many businesses around there. Try Terry Peak locale.

    Day at the range with new Sako Trg22

    Re: Day at the range with new Sako Trg22 If you like the factory brake then I highly recommend the EliteIron MaxTac. I've shot both side by side to compare and the Elite is clearly superior. BTW, I have a Roedale on the way which I can't wait to test out, will report on it later. For now...

    Re: Which commercial finish on a stainless pistol? Robar's NP3 worked great but its color is limited. They have others to choose from now. NP3 was fantastic. http://www.robarguns.com/precision_coatings.htm Used DuraHeat on a stainless slide (knowing it should have been bead-blasted to make...

    Suppressors Difference between the 92FS and M9?

    Re: Difference between the 92FS and M9? Units that shoot alot still break Gen3 blocks. Just received two brand new in box USGI M9's to replace some that broke their major components and they had metal parts - no plastic in them maybe some of yours are different. Kept the boxes.

    Suppressors Difference between the 92FS and M9?

    Re: Difference between the 92FS and M9? M9's for the US military are made in Accokeek, Maryland as a stipulation of the original contract. The US government and military services don't want any of their weapons manufacture located overseas in the event of hostilities, enemy take-over of the...

    Shooting in snow?

    Re: Shooting in snow? Accuracy at normal rifle ranges: precipitation has essentially little/none effects. Get with the ULR guys for their input. Precip is neat because you can see trace GREAT! However, if its too thick you can't see squat thru optics - depending on magnification/conditions...

    New for the Remington 700 - the Bolt Lift

    Re: New for the Remington 700 - the Bolt Lift Just got mine in but didn't install in 1 minute like "Andre the Hands" did. It took a bit of a Visegrip squeeze to bring both sides together enough to get the allen bolt in then it mated up tight using the smaller o-rings. Overall, works great! I...
