    Tikka T1X

    Thanks! The factory barrel trio of screws came off with a little bit of coaxing from a quality German Torx screwdriver. Haven’t yet pulled the barrel. I fired off 150 rounds of 17 grain Hornady with mixed results. The target below is a series of 5 round groupings from the prone at 50 meters...

    Tikka T1X

    @Kisssofdeath my IBI 22LR barrel arrived but the feed lip is of course upside down for my LH action. Wondering if you think it’s worth me either adding one or if you think it might feed okay without the feed lip?

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Well, the foam came out no problem. The install of the Kalix Teknik CR1 Adjustable Cheek Rest was a little more dramatic. Used what I had on hand to make the holes and the brittle stock plastic cracked. Guess I'm going to need to use some bondo and rattle can on the stock after all. Heh.

    Good to know. I'll give it a go tonight then.

    Tikka T1X

    Has anyone had any luck removing the "silent stock foam" from a T3x/T1x? I have a Kalix Teknik CR1 Adjustable Cheek Rest to install in my T1x stock and I want to remove that foam without damaging it or the stock if possible.

    Rifle Scopes One Piece Mount for Bolt Action

    I'm quite happy with my MDT one piece mount. IT comes with two sets of accessory caps so all you need to add a rail etc is the reasonably priced rail etc. If you want a decent (though not Spuhr massive) mount with moderately priced accessories I think it's a great choice.

    That is a good point I had not considered.

    Medical / IFAK Pouch

    Heard about it here: He actually uses an OLAES bandage in the video. They are less common here, we tend to find the Israeli ones available more. In any event, a very nice and compact solution - it a chest seal and a SOF-TQ would make a very nice low profile kit for EDC.

    Rifle Scopes Burris rt6 turrets

    What he means is that each line will correspond to some distance, might be 234 yards, might be 372 yards. You'll have to plug into a ballstic program and look at the reticle subtension details. The RT-6 is not really intended for dialling. I set my turrets and forget them. They are not...

    Rifle Scopes Aimpoint 6X magnifier questions

    I have the Romeo4T and the reticle is very nice for that sort of purpose. I'm beginning to regret mounting it on a sky-high 2.26" mount when the Unity Tactical magnifier mount is impossible to find up here in Canada.

    Medical / IFAK Pouch

    Agreed and perhaps too long. I'm thinking along these lines: (linked direct from https://darkangelmedical.com/blog/tourniquet-the-limbs-pack-the-junctions-seal-the-box-7165d5/) With corresponding pages/cards with just a little more clarify like how tight for the TQ, how far up from the wound...

    Medical / IFAK Pouch

    I use an older gen of the HSGI Trauma Kit Now and it comfortably fits all I need. Yes it's a bit of a piglet, but in the heat of the moment everything is visible and accessible. I use a 1" webbing belt with quick release buckle and keep it on the small of my back. As soon as I open the trunk at...

    Ultimatum Deuce barreled receiver

    I believe they have yet to ship them due to delays in production. The website is still listing July 2020 for delivery... I'm rooting for them as the home team but the delays have been kind of unfortunate.

    Night Vision GSCI vs ALPHA optics

    I was hoping that by tagging him he might chime in. You could message him on this platform.

    Rifle Scopes Aimpoint 6X magnifier questions

    Not sure if you qualify for any discounts through prior service etc. but up here in Caunckistan I can get the 6x for about $750 USD through a program. Not sure if any of the usual vendors on the hide carry Aimpoint - might be worth calling around. I had a very brief chance to eyeball the 1-10...

    Night Vision GSCI vs ALPHA optics

    Even though they cannot sell to you, I would suspect Victor at TNVC (@Victor-TNVC) might be able to shed some light on the merits of quality glass. Without putting words in his mouth, I recall reading from another forum that poor glass can make end users think their tubes are crap when in fact...

    Night Vision GSCI vs ALPHA optics

    So I relied heavily on a friend who has far more experience in NV than I do. His belief is that the quality of components, particularly the lenses, that GSCI and Alpha use is inferior to the real deal ITAR controlled ones. There is reportedly better stuff out there but hard to find. He has a...

    Night Vision GSCI vs ALPHA optics

    If Alpha is the folks in Canada (https://alphaopticsinc.com/) are most certainly NOT manufacturing their own tubes.

    Night Vision GSCI vs ALPHA optics

    I'm a Canuck who just bought into the game and ended up going with a small operation instead because the quality of lenses that are used by GSCI and Alpha are reported to be not so good. Not sure if he ships international. PM me and I can send you his way.
