    Pillars for a Manners EH1 TK

    I bought a EH1 TK used and it didn’t come with pillars. Anyone know where I can get replacements? Tried calling Manners today but they’re closed for the holidays and I got some time off as well so I’d like to get them soon so I can get them installed and glass bed the action. Thanks

    PRS Talk Proof ss prefit or Bartlein blank

    Do Proof ss prefits have close to the same accuracy potential as a Bartlein chambered by a reputable smith? If not are we talking 3/4-1 MOA for the Proof and 1/4-1/2 MOA potential for the Bartlein or similar higher grade barrels? Just trying to figure out if it’s worth paying almost twice what I...

    Rifle Scopes Adhesive removal for NF ATACR?

    I recently removed the scope tape I had wrapped my 4-20 ATACR in for this last hunting season and the tape left behind a lot of speckled adhesive residue. I had some GooGone that I was unsuccessful with and was wondering if anyone had success with something else that was still safe for the NF...

    Anyone else have issues with Hybrids?

    I loaded up on 180gr Hybrids and H1000 for my 7 PRC because I thought it was going to be a safe bet. I’ve gone through almost 200 bullets and am not any closer to finding a decent load. I found a pound of Retumbo to try and still wasn’t happy with the results. I know the gun will shoot the...

    7 PRC loads

    Been playing with my 7PRC trying to find a load that I’m happy with. In the pics it’s not a fair comparison. The H1000 loads were five round groups at 300yds and the Retumbo loads were three round groups at 200yds. Would love to see what others are having success with. Tikka action 22” Proof...

    ADG 7 PRC AMP annealer code

    Now that ADG has had a run of 7 PRC brass has anyone ran one through their AMP? I only grabbed two boxes of brass and hoping someone would share their code. Trying to get around destroying a piece for the AMP to analyze.

    Rifle Scopes Where do you get your Nightforce deals?

    Looking to pick up a 4-16 or 4-20 ATACR for a 7PRC I just finished. Is a blem at euro optic going to be the best deal or is there a vendor I should talk too?

    Tikka action wrench and barrel vise for rent?

    Finally received my Proof 7 PRC prefit for my Tikka T3x action. Is there a shop that you can rent action wrenches and barrel vises from?

    Zeus bolt lift compared to Tikka

    I’m about to pull the trigger on a Zeus qc but keep looking at the Impact 737 and keep second guessing myself. I’m leaning toward the Zeus because of the 60deg bolt because my current target rifle is a Tikka and I like the bolt operation of it granted I haven’t ever owned anything other than...

They come with everything that is included from Vortex. Asking $1300 shipped tyd via USPS Priority Mail. Local meet up is...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex AMG VS Nightforce ATACR

    I need opinions on how the two compare. I own a AMG in MOA but keep playing with the idea of selling/trading for a ATACR. The 4-16x42 ATACR in particular keeps getting my attention. I only have access to the NXS line to compare and haven’t even seen a ATACR in person yet. I would be hunting...

    6.5 creedmoor OCW test with RL16

    Went out this morning to run a OCW test in my 6.5 Tikka CTR. I'm a bit lost because I was expecting to see some POI shifts but it looks like the POI remained the same through the entire test. So what load would you start working around? 41.4gr obviously had the tightest group but I know I'm not...

    Bolt coating

    im sure this has been discussed already but lm looking for suggestions. I just sent my Tikka bolt to LRI to be fluted and as soon as I get it back I want to send it off to be coated. I was looking at DLC or a teflon type coating. I want something slick and durable, corrosion resistance isn't...

    6.5 creedmoor load development help

    I just got a Tikka CTR and have been working on finding a load for it the last three weekends. First weekend I did a latter test and picked what I think was an accuracy node. Second weekend I played with seating depths. Now this weekend I took my magnetospeed sporter that I just got two days ago...

    Youth bolt action rifle recommendations

    My oldest boy will be turning 10 soon and wants his own target/ hunting rifle. I'd like to find something in 6.5 creedmoor since I already have everything to reload for it. He can shoot my rifles okay off a bench but the LOP is way to long for freehand shots and my rifle is a little on the...

    Manners T6A vs MCS-TA

    I posted awhile back about the EH1a and T6a asking for advice and thought I had made up my mind. I had Manners send me a EH1 to demo and I liked it but the grip didn't have enough real estate to accommodate my pinky finger so I started looking closer at the T6a. But now the MCS-Ta is in the...

    Optimal barrel contour for a do all rifle

    Just pulled the trigger on a new Tac30 for a 6.5 creedmoor build, now I need a barrel. Looking for opinions on a optimal barrel contour that'll be used on a target/match/hunting rig finished at 24"-26". I don't mind if it needs to be slightly more on the heavier side since I do more target...

    Newb from Vancouver, WA

    Finally decided to join since most google searches brought me here anyway :). I've been solely an archery hunter for awhile now but my father in law talked me into rifle deer hunting with him this year. So after a lot of searching I decided I wanted a dual purpose rifle for hunting/target...
