    Tikka MDT Field Stock fit issues

    Anyone have issues with this? I got a 10-round MDT AICS metal mag (no binder plate) and it won't seat/latch. Tikka CTR in case it matters. Mag is clearly running into the bottom of the action.

    Take off barrel caliber/value

    Long story short. Trying to help a buddy. Gonna buy a Tikka CTR/UPR/Varmint just for the action and stock that he likes. Can get a decent deal on either a 22-250 or 308. If it’s a longer barrel (24”), is the 308 or 22-250 barrel likely to sell quicker? Or about the same?

    Prefit barrel question

    I know it's a dumb question - if I want to go to 6.5 creedmoor, and I have a 243 or 308, I can screw in a shouldered 6.5 CM prefit barrel and it should headspace correctly without any problem? In theory at least? As long as it's a 308 bolt face, the bolt and bolt face don't know or care what...

    Anybody around Dallas have a Zeiss LRP S3 to look at?

    Debating between Razor Gen 3 6-36 and Zeiss LRP S3 6-36. Haven't been able to look through the Zeiss. Anyone in the Dallas area (preferably on the east side) have one I could come take a look at?

    Upgrading from Tikka CTR - 3 options want opinions

    Just a guy who likes to shoot - don't compete or anything. Looking to upgrade from the Tikka CTR 24" 6.5 CM that I've had for the last 7-8 years. But I'm a dad with a teacher wife so budget is important...so options are listed in increasing level of cost. Priorities with this new rifle is a...

    Tikka CTR vs Bergara/AICS max OAL 6.5 CM

    Considering swapping my Tikka CTR for a Bergara. Just for grins...no real reason. But I brought my buddy's Bergara home to look it over and my Tikka CTR mag just barely holds my reloads (OAL 2.925"), but they aren't even close to fitting in the Bergara magazine. 140 ELD-M bullets in prime...

    Tikka CTR feeding in Manners stock

    Running into feeding issues with my T3x CTR 6.5 CM in a Manners T5A that's inlet for the CTR bottom metal. Mag is fairly loose even with bolt closed. Action screws are at 60 in-lbs. I've disassembled and reassembled a bunch of times trying to figure it out. I don't have the factory stock to...

    Howa mini 223 vs Ruger American Ranch 223 - NV hunting gun

    I've grown spoiled to the Tikka action and trigger, but this rig is on a budget and the two I'm considering are the Howa mini 223 and Ruger american ranch gen 2 in 223. I would prefer not to have to make any upgrades after the fact. So in factory form, considering accuracy, trigger, action...

    Tikka T3 223 barrel heat?

    I have a CTR in 6.5CM, which I've had for maybe 5-6 years now and absolutely love it. I get 9-10 shots before barrel heats up. I'm 1000+ rounds into the barrel and it's still crazy accurate. I am looking at a 223 T3 lite as a starter gun for my son and something I can shoot at prairie dogs...

    Rifle Scopes Scope ring height for Savage 10FCP

    My brother is setting up his Savage 10FCP with a Bushnell ERS 3-21x50 scope. I don't have the gun or the scope and he's not familiar with scope ring height calculations. It has the factory Savage base (I think). What height rings do I need? I'm thinking 1" would be safe and 1.1" would be...

    Optics WTB: 34mm rings

    Anyone have 34mm rings they're selling? Prefer Vortex PMR or Seekins. Will be mounting a Bushnell ERS 3-21x50 onto a Savage 10 FCP-SR. Not 100% sure what height I need, but I think something in the 1.1" range would be safe. Shoot me a PM if you have something.

    Annie 54 Sporter scope for <$250

    Looking for the best scope I can find under $250. I just don't shoot 22 much, but I fell in love with this Annie and got a sweet deal on it. What scope & rings could I put on it to keep the scope height reasonable? The stock on this rifle is set up to use the irons, so I don't want it very...

    Cabelas Meopta Meostar 10x42 binoculars

    Selling a pair of 10x42 binos. Cabelas branded Meopta Meostar with case, strap, front/back caps, and in excellent condition. Will add picture tonight. These are really stellar binos, but I just don't use them and would like them to go to someone who can put them to work. Asking $550 shipped...

    Great Customer Service experience

    Best CS I've ever experienced. I'll preface that by saying that I've had some companies really take good care of me, both in the shooting industry and in golf/fishing/etc. I recently screwed up my cheekpiece on my Manners T4A. I sent an email on Saturday night to see how much it would cost...

    Minox BF 10x42 binoculars - $100

    Minox BF 10x42 binos in good condition. Some wear on the housing. Glass is perfect. SOLD The lines in this next picture are not scratches on the lens. I think that's the reflection off my blinds. There are no scratches on the glass at all as far as I can see.

    Best wildlife binocs around $500

    I currently have a set of Vortex Diamondback 10x42 and Minox BF 10x42 binocs. Both seem nearly identical to me in terms of clarity/resolution, ease of focus, and general level of quality. I'm happy with both, especially for the cost. I also have a Vortex Razor 11-33 spotter. But we're going...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Midas BTR quick review

    Picked one up from Doug on major sale ($250) recently. I own/have used some cheap and expensive scopes ($100-$3k), and I have to say that the Midas BTR is really a nice scope for the money. I got the 2.5-15 version. It's SFP, but that's not a major issue using it on my 10/22. It's got the...

    New chargemaster lite - programming and/or insert

    Just got my first chargemaster. Have loaded with a buddy's 1500 model before, but I got the lite for price reasons. I'll mainly be loading 6.5 CM with H-4350 and 45 ACP with Clays. Should I make any programming changes and/or buy one of the inserts? For 45 ACP, I have used the chargemaster...

    Least expensive AI

    Dumb question - what is the cheapest model of AI to get a 6.5 CM - new or used. And what are the disadvantages compared to more expensive models? Have played around with a couple, but don't know much about the different models.
