    7PRC & 300PRC builds for hunting/ELR

    I have two rifles I was going to build but now not sure which route to go. Initially I was going to build a lightweight Tikka in 7PRC for hunting in North America(elk) and recently picked up a Bergara that I was going to turn into an ELR(mile) rig in 300PRC. Should I go the other way around...

    Rifle Scopes XTR3 x18 vs x30 FOV

    I currently have Midas TAC 5-25 on my 18" M&P 10 that I want to use for hunting. It's way more scope than I need right now and was looking at the Burris XTRIII 3.3-18x50. Just reading reviews, everyone says the larger 5.5-30x has better glass all-around but does it have comparable FOV and...

    Left hand dilemma; Bergara B14 HMR or Tikka T3x lite?

    I currently have a magnum T3x already; love it but looking for something like the CTR/UPR(non-Lite/Superlite barrel, more vertical grip, and thicker forend) in 6.5CM...which they do not come in left hand. Bergara's B14 HMR is pretty similar and on paper, fits the bill. Only problem I've...

    KRG Bravo M-lok strength

    Just wondering if anyone has added weights or anything with significant load to the front M-lok slots of their KRG Bravo? I've contacted KRG but basically said they never tried so can't guarantee anything. Just went with a lighter barrel looking to add roughly 1lb(.5lb each side) up there.

    Thinking of adding ARCA rail; T-slot and tapered forend options?

    I'm looking at adding an ARCA rail to both my Tikka(in KRG Bravo chassis) and CZ 457 Varmint. On my Tikka, the bipod I use(Mystic Precision) mounts inside of a T-slot; is there an ARCA rail with a T-slot built-in? Also, the stock on my CZ 457 Varmint tapers towards the front. Is there any way...

    Parallax going in and out of focus? Athlon Cronus G2

    Noticed weird issue today at the range. Scope is a Athlon Cronus G2 on a Tikka and was shooting 100yds. Anyways, noticed at 100yd the target was going in/out of focus. I thought it was just my eyes as I wear glasses but my buddy noticed the same thing(15/20 vision). The target was a bunch of...

    Tikka trigger design/mod

    I'm working on converting a KRG trigger to LH safety and was wondering if anyone knows how the pin/stud for the lever spring is fitting in the trigger. Can I press/punch it out or is there another hidden pin, screw, or spring that holds it in? Also, any tips on getting the spring that's...

    Rifle Scopes Under $575 scope for NRL22

    I currently have an Athlon Midas TAC 5-25 scope on my CZ 457 but that pushes me into Open Class. Lack of chassis options(left handed) makes me reluctant on committing to Open and just keeping the rifle Base. I have an EP5 on another rifle that I can throw on there and keep me in Base, but it's...

    Hellfire to Xeno adapter?

    Does anyone make a Hellfire(Maverick) to Xeno adapter? Or is there any good solutions to being able to use both a Nomad and Maverick suppressor?

    Versatile setup (300wsm); shooting in CO and NC.

    Rifle is Tikka T3x with 20" 1/10tw barrel. I live in NC(<1000yds and 200-400ft elevation) and work in CO, but want to start taking mile shots with my rifle. I currently just shoot 180gr-200gr factory ammo but would like to start reloading with heavier ammo(looking at 208gr and/or 225gr ELD...

    Tikka XM bottom metal

    I remember seeing MDT was releasing a bottom metal for Tikka T3 for their XM-length magazines; when I inquired about it, they said they don't have any plans. Anyone know what happened with that? Any other options out there to run a slightly longer mag?

    Scope/Spotter bag or backpack

    Not sure if this is the right place to ask but just wondering if anyone transports their glass separately from their rifles? I have two rifles that I want to transport through TSA but the case will only fit both of them if there's no scope. I have sunshades on both optics(Athlon Midas TAC and...

    Ring height suggestion for CZ457 with Area 419 30moa and Athlon Cronus

    I have a CZ457 Varmint coming in and have also ordered an Area 419 30moa base. I currently have an Athlon Cronus 4.5-29x56 that I want to throw on there that also has a 3" sunshade and Aadmount caps on there. Looking to order a set of ARC rings before everything gets here but does anyone know...

    Rifle Scopes .22lr CZ 457 scope suggestions

    Budget is what I paid for the rifle OTD; ~$600, though a little flexible if there's a significant increase in glass quality. Initially I was looking at finding a used Strike Eagle or Athlon Midas Tac (56mm obj) scopes but came across the Arken EP5. Are these a good buy at their price point or...

    Spotters Terrible experience: Athlon Ares G2 UHD with 22x MRAD

    I'm not sure how many people are running this setup, but I cannot for the life of me get this thing to work. FIrst issue was when I tried installing the eyepiece, it twisted the little piece/o-ring on the spotter. Sent that back and got a replacement spotter; 22x eyepiece wouldn't even go on...

    Anyone run Spuhr direct mount on a left handed Tikka?

    Haven't shot it yet(was hoping to this Memorial Day weekend), but has anyone run a Spuhr direct scope mount on a left handed Tikka or Sako? It looks like it was designed specifically for RH since it hangs over the ejection port on a lefty. I can't flip it since it's a 7mil mount.

    Cleaner 3/4 adapter for Area 419 Hellfire?

    This is purely for cosmetic reasons, but recently got a Match Hellfire instead of Sidewinder for my 300wsm build. Anyways, never realized how the 3/4 mount looked. I tried to look up the thread pitch to mount a Hellfire brake/Maverick directly to the barrel but don't see it listed...

    Suppressors "Braked-suppressor" options; leaning towards Area 419 Maverick

    Just wondering if any new or other options besides Area 419 Maverick and Silencerco Omega? I'm leaning towards the Maverick right now mainly because of how modular it is (one can for 16" AR308, 20" 300wsm, and 24" 300wm). For those that used it, does the brake help with the magnums much at...

    300WSM short barrel/twist with factory ammo

    I'm looking to build a rifle around ammo that's available on the shelf (180gr & 200gr loads). What's a short barrel length I can get away with and what twist? Looking to shoot 1000yds(that's furthest I can shoot back home in NC, though I'm in CO right now). Only similar build I can find was...
