    Tikka T3X varmint 223

    Im not quite ready to bite that bullet. I hear you but I'm on the fence with upgrading as it is now. I have an AICS mag feeding Rem700 5R already and no way could I mag feed my reloads with AICS mags. Thanks PB

    Tikka T3X varmint 223

    I recently bought a Tikka T3x in 223 and it shoots lights out. We shot some 88 gr ELD's out to 1,300 yards and went 3/5 and basically hit everything inside that with little effort. Tip, if your shooting longer bullets and want to use their single feed bobsled (Mountain Tactical), it works like a...

    LMT MWS BCG and 6.5 creed?

    You should have no problem running 6.5 with factory BCG. Who makes a better BCG than LMT? Maybe KAC just maybe. I run a Sig can and BRT tube to keep things properly gassed. PB

    LMT .308 MWS

    Tango, I too have run my MWS guns for many years. I did have one effed up blow up but to clarify, in order to use the new springs do I need the new pins. Or can I put the springs on my old firing pins and work just fine? Sorry for the redundancy. PB

    LMT .308 MWS

    My Buddy just got a new MWS and his new carrier has the new firing pin spring in the carrier. Via their site "Firing pin spring for our .308 BCG (LM308D and LM308DA). Intended to reduce the chance of slam fires when using match primers. Anyone have experience or thoughts on this new spring...

    Suppressors OSS HX QD 7.62/ CGS Hyperion K (First hand knowledge appreciated)

    The OSS can I ran was great for gas management but not so great for sound reduction. I just bought a couple Nomad 30’s that have impressed me. I think I would look around a bit before jumping on OSS, there are other ways to manage gas. PB

    Tikka T3X Super Varmint 223

    I have had mine out for a couple weeks and its running fine. The threads for a can are threaded for 30 cal cans not 556 which is strange but works. I ran my Nomad 30 on it and it ran great. Then I ordered an adapter so I can run my 556 can. Shot a .5MOA group with our standard load. Ran...

    Tikka 14X1 thread to....for my can

    It was 5/8X24 threading. I was mixed because I spun on a brand new Nomad 30 and it seemed to fall halfway on then it felt off, kinda sticky like thread pitch was off. It was just a new can and threads on gun were kinda sloppy and can stiff. But it butts to shoulders solid. Special Needs PB...

    Tikka 14X1 thread to....for my can

    The gun did increase velocity vs my 20inch Rem700 5R, and we shot some sub mao groups, all without a bipod and we had another buddy distracting our efforts substantially. But I have a feeling it will shoot great with a pet hand load. Gun is all up and running for some great shooting now, I...

    Buy cans in pairs, Nomad 30

    We shot these cans on the Bergara 6.5 CM and my 308 FN SPR and both were super quiet. Very impressed with these cans, I felt they were as quiet as my full sized Sig 7.62 can that is near twice the size. Just awesome cans! Also the threads were super tight on the threads and very concentric...

    Tikka 14X1 thread to....for my can

    I just received my Tikka Tx3 .223 varmint and just realized I have a 14X1 thread on the barrel. I have a Sig 556 DT can I would like to use or I just got a Nomad 30's I could use. What adapter do I need and is there a best adapter to use? Funny, the Nomad fits but seems a bit off? Anybody...

    Rifle Scopes Recommendation for a modern SPR Scope?

    I just want to say above and beyond a “like”, Bakwa 100% nailed the FFP VS SFP reticle choice and use. Read this and if it doesn’t make sense ask why, because herein lies the gospel my friend. PB

    Rifle Scopes Recommendation for a modern SPR Scope?

    I have one of these on a G 16 inch Super Duty rifle. I also run the NX8 1-8 on a KAC gun and have enjoyed It. If you can squeeze the budget to NF, its a grand ole world. Can also look for used NF Scopes. PB

    Buy cans in pairs, Nomad 30

    I grabbed a couple more 30 cal cans for my bolt guns. I was a fan of mounts but the direct thread cans have won my heart over time. Anybody run these cans and how did they do? I went with Rifles Only HAD covers, they have worked well in the past. Mods if this belongs elsewhere, please move...

    It’s so painful to buy and gun then your like shit, GLASS, BIPOD, US OPTICS LEVEL …Glass being the killer. I run Nightforce optics mainly but I have a Steiner and US Optics laying around so I’ll have to choose one of those for my new Tikka. PB

    Tikka T3x TAC A1- are they still being made?

    Love that stock. Did you buy the stock from McMillian and had it made. Or did it come with the gun? PB
