    Thread protector for 24" Proof?

    Got the Proof prefit installed on my Tikka and looking for a thread protector that will match the contour. Right now I just have a thread protector my buddy had laying around but it's a little on the small side and looks funny.

    Rifle Scopes Talley ring height for new proof barrel?

    I'm installing a proof prefit on my Tikka T3 hunter 7mm Rem Mag. It's a sendero contour. Until now I've been using lows with my Bushnell LRHS with the stock sporter barrel, Talley one piece. I'm wondering if I could get away with mediums or if I need to go with highs.

    Rifle Scopes VX6 or VX5 or NX8

    Need a new scope for my new build. Looking at the VX 6 in 3-18x44, VX 5 in 3-15x44 and the NX8 in 2.5-20x50. I like the lighter weight of the VX series but 15x as max zoom would be a downgrade from my LRHS. I like the NX8 but it's more expensive of course. The VX5 doesn't have some of the nice...

    Rifle for the wife unit Seekins or Bergara

    Alright. I think we've narrowed down our rifle search to two rifles. The Bergara Premier Highlander and the Seekins PH2. We've already decided on 6.5PRC for the chambering. I have been able to handle and play with some Bergara Premier offerings and I really like them. I have not been able to...

    Weatherby Mark V Backcountry?

    Has anyone handled one of these? The light weight intrigues me but the price...not really sure if it's worth it with only a sub MOA guarantee. Looking at the 6.5RPM.

    Mountain Tactical Long Action AICS bottom metal?

    Has anyone used this? I kind of gave up on developing a load for my 7mm Rem Mag T3 since I was so far off the lands and crowding the case, but I am thinking about picking one of these up and a couple Accurate mags. I would like to hear about your experiences.

    Tikka CTR idea

    I had an idea, not something I'm planning on but it seems like an easy way into a 6.5 PRC Tikka. Could I take the bolt from a magnum Tikka, have the chamber from a 24" Creed cleaned up into a 6.5 PRC?

    What's your favorite mass produced rifle?

    We all talk a lot about our customs, but what's your favorite mass produced rifle? I have a Tikka T3 Hunter in 7 Mag that shoots pretty darn good. I have also heard good things about the newer Browning offerings as well as Bergara and Howa. What do you like?

    Rifle Scopes Vertically split rings

    I've read that there was a huge shit show about vertically split rings a while back. On one of my rifles I have a Bushnell 4.5-18 LRHS in a set of Warne rings. After load development I was sighting it in and dammit if I couldn't get the windage to go further left. I was about a MOA at 200 off...

    Lightest Tikka chassis?

    What is the lightest chassis out there? I use my rifle primarily for hunting so it can't be super heavy. I'm also wondering, what is stopping chassis manufacturers from making chassis for long action Tikkas? I would figure with Mountain Tactical and RedSnake making bottom metal that takes AICS...

    Hunting & Fishing Looking for some used Salmon rods (Loomis E6X)

    I am looking for a used salmon rod, particularly Loomis E6X. Looking for 8.6-10.5", heavy power, fast action, lure weight somewhere between 4-6oz.

    Chambering to shoot the forthcoming 155 6.5 Berger.

    I have gone rounds in my own head on what I want to do as far as a rifle goes. I have a Magnum 700 action sitting unused because the barrel is shot out. With this new bullet coming out I have a revived vigor to do something with my action. My first inclination is the KISS rule, keep it simple...

    RedSnake vs Mountain Tactical

    I am wondering if anyone has experience with both of these bottom metals for the T3. From the pictures, I like where the magazine release is located better on the RedSnake, but in the end I'd just like to get the best option. Any experiences are appreciated.

    Boyd's AT-One Stock

    Last night I was just cruising the interwebz, looking at different stocks on Stockys and decided to check out Boyd's. Low and behold, they released a fully adjustable rifle stock and it's only $180. I know laminate is heavy, I have two rifles in thumbhole laminates, but this stock looks like it...

    Tikka T3x Superlite 6.5 Creedmoor. Anyone have one?

    This rifle really intrigues me as a good, lightweight hunting rifle. I like that Tikka made the barrel 24" for the 6.5 Creedmoor version. I am wondering if anyone on the Hide has one? It is a Sportsman's Warehouse/Cabelas exclusive. Stainless, barbie plastic stock, fluted barrel. Supposed to be...

    7mm Rem Mag range trip/OCW/Chrony

    So I took my Tikka 7RM out to the range. I just purchased a Magnetospeed sporter, and I wanted to do some load development with it. For some reason, I could not hold a group together with the magnetospeed on there but I feel like I got some good data. I wanted to do the 6.5 Guys method, but I...

    Custom bolts?

    I was considering buying a custom bolt through PT&G but after reading the horror story reviews I am wanting to go another route. Who else is out there?
