    Factory Tikka feeding issues

    I convinced my friend to buy a T3x 223. He loved the gun, but it has terrible feeding issues. The bolt just glides over the cartridge pretty consistently using the cheap factory mags. The gun is bone stock. I have several factory mags that he tried. All the mags did the same thing. He tried my...

    Magnus SR Hearing same?

    Anyone have shot a Magnus SR on a 223? Can you go without hearing protection? On TBAC site they have 126 db on 6.5 CM. Just curious if anyone has shot it on a 223 and how loud it is. Considering a purchase, but having a hard time parting with $2k...when there are others with very similar sound...

    Suppressors Dead air Xeno brake alternative

    Does anyone make a brake to work with the Xeno end cap mount on a dead air suppressor that has the function of a brake with side baffles/vents to reduce muzzle flip when not using the suppressor? I have not seen anything out there on how well the Xeno brake works when not using a suppressor.

    Pros and Cons of these two options

    Option 1: Tikka CTR 6.5 CM in chassis, keep barrel- Cheapest would be around $1700 (oryx chassis or X-ray for a little more money) Option 2: Howa 1500 6.5 CM, in the same chassis as Tikka. This is much cheaper, about $900. Assuming in this configuration I'm not happy with the barrel, lots of...

    Preferred barrels

    Looking to upgrade a T3x. I was looking at my barrel options. Seems like preferred barrels has good stuff. One option was threading, which which I want for a suppressor. Looks like they only offer class 2A threading. Competitor barrel makers offer 3A. Is 2A acceptable for suppressors? Assume it...

    Anyone with a Dead Air Primal?

    Does anyone have first hand experience with the Primal? Bouncing around the idea of getting one and calling it a day...instead of collecting stamps. Have a Mask on the way, considered the 30 cal Nomad-L, but wondering if the primal might be better since I really don't want to keep buying...

    300 blackout bolt gun

    Would like to pick your collective brain on 300 blk bolt guns. I will be buying a 30 cal suppressor and would like to have a 300 blk bolt gun. I would prefer Remington footprint for obvious reasons. But they are pricier than the Ruger American and the Savage Axiss II. Of the Ruger and Savage...

    Drilling out pinned muzzle device

    Do you guys have an advice on drilling out a pinned muzzle brake without damaging the barrel? I don't have a drill press, will be attempting with my hand drill. Smith wants to hose me for $100 to do it. I'll be damned! I would rather screw up my barrel and get a new one then pay that.

    Suppressors eForms "ready to certify" email from SS

    I see SS talking about needing a PIN when I go to certify with the dealer. Do you guys know what PIN they are talking about? Is it the SS kiosk PIN or is there another? I created a ATF eforms account and I don't recall selecting a PIN. Maybe I did and don't remember. Need to sort this out before...

    Vudoo + Suppressor

    I ordered a Mask. It has yet to come in, but was wondering what you guys do to ensure bore alignment with the suppressor? My reading indicates you should always check, no matter how high of a quality barrel you have. Makes sense....peace of mind I guess.

    What size plates at 300 yards

    I hear about people shooting steel plates at 300, 400, or longer with their 22s. If you are shooting at these distances, what size plates? And what is your success rate? thanks

    Premium ammo vs barrel

    I have a Tikka T3x in 223. Using Hornady Match 73 ELD and 68 BTHP I get 0.7" groups at 100 yard (measured edge to edge). This is with the factory barrel. Is there any accuracy to be gained by going to a match grade barrel? I know alot of times the ammo might be the limiting factor. I don't...

    Hey Guys, Need some guidance here. Should I have a local FFL build a 300 blackout upper for me or buy one from say bushmaster or whoever? Generally, which would be cheaper? If I have someone locally build it (I can't procure the parts, no one will ship to my shitty state), which component...

    Suppressors Anyone have a Nomad-30?

    If you do, do you find it to be comfortable on the ears with 223 (16" barrel)? I see alot of people shooting suppressed without ear protection, but from what I'm reading most suppressors don't reduce the sound to safe region when shooting super sonic rounds. So, if you have to wear ear...
