    Which 6.5 Creed factory ammo

    I have used the 120 gr. Hornady GMX and was very happy with it. At 100 - 200 yds it was essentially the same zero I use with my preferred 143 gr. Hornady ELX.

    New bling from KRG

    That would be awesome if possible. Or if you could provide additional specifications we could provide to a machining shop to complete the work. You mentioned 0.065 inches per side, but a couple I spoke with said they would need more information than that to take the job. Maybe you could sell...

    Best AICS Magazines for Tikka T3x CTR

    Thanks for the feedback. I really like the Tikka factory bottom metal and magazine system, but the stock options do make it tempting to switch. I had not thought about the Ruger Scout magazines and didn't realize they were compatible with AICS magazines. That would definitely create a less...

    Bergara rifles

    I am very happy with my Bergara B-14 Timber in 6.5 Creedmoor. Extremely accurate and a fun rifle to shoot. It had the best trigger and action for the money, and the barrel was excellent.

    So, no one has any experience with AICS mags and Tikka CTRs?

    Best AICS Magazines for Tikka T3x CTR

    I am looking to upgrade the stock on my Tikka CTR. With Europtic having the Tikka CTR magazines at $72 each, the Tikka magazines aren't a bad option, but you are limited to stocks/chassis from Bell & Carlson, Manners, McMillan or McRee's G10. Not that any of these are bad options, but sort of...

    Bergara rifles

    I have a Bergara B14 Timber in 6.5 Creedmoor. Love that rifle. My daughter claimed that one. I wish the HMR was available when I purchased the Timber. Rifle has been flawless. The stock is a little small for me at 6'3", but fits my 5'8" daughter perfectly. Looking to switch out stock and...

    Entry level precision bolt in 6.5 Creedmoor, a lefty can use. Savage vs Weatherby

    I am looking for something similar for my son, who shoots left handed. We looked at the Savage Stealth, but the chassis seemed fragile. You could squeeze the fore end and see it move. This was not reassuring. I have a Tikka CTR and my son shoots it as well. He loves the Tikka so we are...

    Pulled the trigger on the Bergara HMR

    The Bergara HMR is compatible with Remington 700 aftermarket stocks, triggers and scope mounts. The only real difference is the bolt, which is coned vs. Remington's three rings of steel, so it is not compatible with the Remage barrel nut premade barrels.

    Stock Upgrade Questions on a Tikka CTR

    I have had a really good experience with my B&C stock. I know that for every complaint you see on an internet review, there are usually thousands of happy customers, especially when the complaints are the vast minority of the responses. I am hoping to get some feedback from someone who has...

    Stock Upgrade Questions on a Tikka CTR

    I have always been nervous when I see something with "polymer" in the description. How strong, stiff, durable would you describe the polymer buttstock and grip on the XRay chassis? I do think a Tikka CTR would look awesome in Sako Green.

    Stock Upgrade Questions on a Tikka CTR

    I am looking to upgrade the stock on a Tikka CTR. I know that Grayboe is coming out with a new stock inlet for the Tikka CTR soon, and Bell and Carlson just came out with a new one (https://www.bellandcarlson.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=1129) that is inlet for the...

    Buying new rifle need opinions please

    All of the Bergara's have a coned bolt and breech, and so I don't know if they are compatible with a Remington barrel nut system. The cone looks very shallow, so maybe it works but you don't get the three rings of steel type thing. A better gunsmith (or an actual one) would need to weigh in on...

    Biggest cartridge/caliber YOU can shoot comfortably?

    I have a 270 WSM in a Sako A7 Tecomate. It weighs about 8 to 8-1/2 lbs with scope and I can only get 12-15 rounds before I start flinching and have some flyers. I haven't shot that gun in 4 years and constantly debate whether to keep it or sell it. Its just such a pretty gun, I have a hard time...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I have continued researching this topic on the A7s. The A7 SA has a unique 7-13/64" bolt spacing. The closest other bottom metals would be for a Browning A-Bolt, which is only 1/64" too short (7-3/16" bolt spacing), or a Savage 10 or Howa 1500, which are 3/64" too long (7-1/4" bolt spacing)...

    Tikka vs Custom Action???

    I have a Bergara B14 6.5 CM and absolutely love it. My daughter has claimed it for her own so I am looking at a new rifle, potentially a Tikka. My only concern about my Bergara is the coned bolt and barrel, which will require gunsmithing to change in the future, since the barrel is not...
