    RRS ball head for Innorel tripod

    Guys I have a couple of Innorel carbon tripods with Innorel ball heads which have been okay to shoot off. I would like to see if I can make the tripod a better platform to extend my range a bit, so thinking it might be worthwhile to try a Really Right Stuff ball head on the tripods. What do...

    Mausingfield 338 Lap action stock fit

    I cant find much written about the Mausingfield 338 Lapua action, other than a post by longrifles on their FB profile in 2016 stating it would only be made on a 1.4" or 1.5" diameter action. From what I can see, the current Mausingfield 338 Lap offering IS a standard Rem long action size? Can...

    Hunting & Fishing Ear pro for hunting

    Just wanted to hear from others who may already have an answer. My son does a lot of still hunting, along the lines of elk in heavy timber. Most shots are under 100 yards, but are taken quickly - ie a few seconds to ID an animal and shoot before the animal disappears into thick cover. So any ear...

    Anyone made a DIY biathlon or backpack sling for hunting?

    I need a sling to carry a 12-14lb hunting rifle, so thought a "biathlon" or "backpack" style sling might be the best option. I have access to an industrial sewing machine and materials such as canvas, nylon, webbing etc, so thought I would have a go at building one. Has anyone made something...

    I am looking for a rangefinder that will range animals to around 1000 yards. It will be used primarily to hunt with, but also for checking targets in PRS matches.

    PS Game changer - which one?

    I want to get a game changer bag for PRS matches - mainly off barricades. I think the pint size is probably the best option from what I have read. I am thinking probably the waxed canvas with sand fill, but would be interested in any other opinions before I pull the trigger on one. Also with...

    Question for anyone running 6BR based case in a Tikka T3

    I am currently running a 6XC on a Tikka T3 action for PRS matches. It shoots great, but I would like to go to a milder case when I rebarrel. At this stage I am thinking 6BRX, but I wonder if I will get the velocity I want with this action and a ~26" barrel. I was thinking I may be better off...

    I have a KRG stock on my PRS rifle and want to play around with the weight and balance of the rifle for matches. I would like to remove the screws holding the butt stock together & see if I can add weight in there, but the manual warns that the screws wont go back together if I do this. Has...

    Question - Tikka trigger sub 1 pound?

    I have an aftermarket spring in the trigger of a Tikka T3 which brings the pull down to ~ 1.5 pounds. I would really like to get down under a pound. Can anyone suggest a spring that will do this reliably and wont slam fire if adjusted under a pound?

    Gunsmithing Removing brake

    I just bought a Tikka CTR that is fitted with a Badger brake with a washer between the brake and the barrel shoulder (no pinch screw on the brake). I had assumed it would be a relatively simple process to unscrew the brake, but that bitch is on tight. I haven't encountered this particular...

    My son and I both shot a rifle with an IOR scope recently and we both liked the reticle a lot. I would really like something like this in a scope thats not an IOR.

    I was just reading the document on Tubb's website where they mention that the case head on the Norma brass is extra hard for improved case life.
