    Different types of hunting rifle setups? Tell me about yours!

    I’ve bought and sold many guns due to an infatuation with the bolt action rifle, but I always go back to this one. I’ve had several scope/ring combos on this gun, but the current setup is perfect and likely won’t change: Tikka T3x .243win McMillan Edge - Sako Hunter NF SHV 3-10x42 C611...

    AI AT308 Barrel Change

    I've used a preset limiter at 49 in/lb for a few years without issue. Some step up to 55/60 in/lb and exhibit increased consistency when switching barrels. I've tried it with without noticing a significant difference. Now I put a witness mark on the torqued screw, and simply use the wrench...

    Gunsmithing One shot before she goes in the trash

    That's because it's not installed correctly in your photo. Try what three users have already suggested. Turn the action upside down, and insert the BDL mag box into the bottom of the action recess. You should have to pinch the rear to get it to seat tight, It'll be tight enough to hold itself...

    Gunsmithing One shot before she goes in the trash

    Try putting the mag box into the bottom of the action, then installing the stock over it. Hard to tell from the 3rd pic, but it appears the mag box isn't seated correctly. You should have to pinch the rear together to get it to seat into the action, the front semi-circle cutout should touch...

    Rifle Scopes Nf 4-16 Atacr ?

    I have the 4-16x50 Mil-C that I use on a .308 set-up for team matches as secondary shooter. I found it to be an awesome, more compact scope and goes well with a 16.5" .308 engaging targets from 300-700yds.

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    Just take it off. This was as light as I could get it with my hunting scope thrown on there. 11lb-14oz. Rings are too low to get a good sight picture, but the concept is there. From here one could 3D print a non adjustable butt pad mount, and use the low profile cheek piece, low scope rail...

    Yes. 13.6lbs as pictured below. However, I almost never shoot it like this. I have a heavy direct thd SS can that adds weight back over the front end:

    Height bore to top of rail AI AT

    It's even easier than all that. The lug sleeve pin on the RH side of the action is in the bore centerline. Pull off the center of it with a tape.

    S20 or T3X?

    Normally I'd advise the T3x over anything. My hunting rifles have been a revolving door over the last few years, and I don't even hunt that much. I always come back to my T3x. Weight, value, quality, accuracy, it's all there...especially when compared to the old Sako 85. However, the new S20...
