    Tikka T1X Broken Firing Pin Poll

    I haven’t kept a log in over a year but at that point it had 3500 rounds through it. With the shortages of good 22 ammo I haven’t shot it near as much in the last year, been playing with steel challenge pistols and bull ammo a lot more but still probably 5k total through mine. Bolt and receiver...

    Mine arrived in 4-5 days, well packaged. Definitely a good site to order from.

    B14r , long range accuracy

    That’s impressive. I really need to try one of those. My T1X is pretty great out to 200 yards, same as my mostly Kidd 10/22. But 2moa is pretty damn difficult at 300 for me, mostly vertical. My range is well lined with trees on the 300 yard line and wind plays a factor but not as much as it...

    SOLD *TRADED* Nikon Black FX1000 6-24x50SF IL FX-Mrad (FFP) w/ Vortex Rings, $400

    Fantastic scope for their price. I had 2 of these in MOA that I paid full normal price for when they first came out. They were worth it then as well in my opinion, very bright/clear glass. I sold mine off when I finally switched everything to MIL. For 400 bucks with things, this is a screaming deal.

    Help. Should I buy a Cz 457 or Savage mark 2

    The T1X Is a smoking deal at 500 bucks, shoots lights out with a lot of different ammo with the factory BBL. and has aftermarket BBLS you can change yourself without issue. Mine is in a KRG Bravo chassis with a LW bbl and a strike eagle on top and I absolutely love it. Of course I also love...

    Suppressors Form 1 ATF Issues

    Um, you’re beyond impatient. It’s 8/25, they’ve had it 6 days and 2 of them were a weekend. Give it 4 weeks, leave them alone, receive your email telling you it’s approved, and drill/enjoy. If there is an issue, it will be rejected quickly, your 200 will be refunded to your card, and you...

    Tikka T1X

    Me too man; I honestly don’t think they’ll shrink much for the “best” groups, I’m hoping it develops more consistency and the overall average will come down. One thing I noticed immediately is how much smoother it feeds compared to the stock Barrel. The action has always been rough on this...

    Tikka T1X

    Finally got my last piece in place, LW 20.5” threaded barrel. We will see if it was worth the investment shortly. I had zero complaints about accuracy but I’m who doesn’t want to push it just a little further. Barrel is in the freezer right now and hopefully will be installed in another 30...

    Rifle Scopes Ring Height vs. Cheek Weld, Comfort, Fatigue etc...

    Contrary to the popular opinion of every Facebook operator out there... I’m the same way. I prefer my my rings higher than slammed on the barrel. I can get a much better cheek weld with the scope up in high or x-high rings depending on the brand. For me it’s about repeatability. I used to be an...

    Upgrade Ruger 10/22 vs. Ruger Precision Rimfire OD

    I personally think you made the right choice. I’ve had more 10/22’s than I can count. Everything from hogue/GM combos to carbon fiber steel challenge race guns and some Kidd/vq money pits for longer range. Ive also had one of those junk RPRR’s that I ran through god knows how many types of ammo...

    NRL.22 Scope Features that are most important

    The Fx1000 was a good value at 800 bucks, it’s a steal at the current clearance prices. Glass is very very clear and I’ve used them out to 1k without any real complaint unless you’re being picky as hell. The diamondback tactical isn’t bad for the money but the lack of a zero stop is a complete...

    Krg 10/22 bravo

    Yup. I have nothing bad to say about my magpul BUT I know it could be better. I love the KRG on my T1X so this will be ordered the second it’s available for my 10/22

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Has Anyone Built an 80% Glock

    I don’t think anyone is saving money building these. It’s more of a matter of starting completely blank and building exactly what you want vice buying a complete Glock and replacing 1/2 the parts with blingy shit you wanted in the first place.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Has Anyone Built an 80% Glock

    I’ve built 2. They go together easy, they function well with good parts, hell I like mine. I spent years competing with a G34 and a G17, it took me I can’t tell you how many draws and dry fires it took for the glock to feel “natural” and point like second nature but when I found the P80, I...

    What are your thoughts about NRL22 class delineation?

    Or lose to the guy with a 1500 dollar rig who shoots a barrel out every 3 months practicing. One thing I’ve learned over a lot of years competing in everything from drag racing to cycling to bass tournaments to shooting, practice and prep by the competitor will almost always outshine money...

    Anyone ever cut down a gas tube?

    That’s kinda what I was thinking, but I wanted a second opinion. Luckily I left the gas block in Kroil overnight and this morning with some serious whacking I was able to break it loose before I started cutting down a spare rifle one I have. Still have a few spares on the way though in case...

    Muzzlebrake Effect on Recoil,Velocity,Accuracy

    I’ve never seen a velocity difference. They definitely kill recoil (I had my 66 year old mom at the range the other day because she was bored and she was ringing steel at 300 yards with a 6.5CM and this is a 120lb woman with osteoporosi). I have had some affect accuracy though, both good and...

    Rifle Scopes Warne Mount tech rings Any good?

    I’ve used them on just about every 30mm scope I owned. I don’t think you can beat them for the price and I’ve yet to have them leave marks when installed properly and torqued to spec.
