    Tikka T1X

    Perhaps the markings change is an indication of a batch change with Tikka. New markings were likely not part of the first production run. I wonder if any other changes were made.

    Tikka T1X

    16.5" is the twist rate of the barrel not the length. Its marked the same on mine.

    Stock options for Sako Quad?

    Searching around for a stock option for the Sako Quad to put together for nrl22 open class and am finding almost nothing. Nothing from MDT, KRG Bravo, and zilch from Manners (confirmed via email). Anyone know of a stock or complete chassis option for the Sako Quad?

    Tikka T1X

    I want to run an Atlas bipod with the QD pic rail mount from ADM on the stock t1 stock with the wider slip on factory forend. Anyone know of an adaptor or pic rail that can be bolted into the factory sling stud? Or am I stuck using a sling stud adaptor for the Atlas bipod or installing...

    Rifle Basix and CZ 452

    Without trigger overtravel you would not be able to remove the bolt on your CZ. How in the world can you adjust the overtravel when full open overtravel is necessary on the gun?

    Info request: Out of the box accuracy - CZ455 vs Savage Mk II

    I disagree that mods are a waste of time and money. A $20 YoDave trigger kit helped my shooting scores quite a bit. But I do completely agree with you that shooting at 25 yards is a little mundane. Misses and mistakes are often hard to distinguish at 25 yards. At 100 yards your misses and...

    Info request: Out of the box accuracy - CZ455 vs Savage Mk II

    In my opinion you should not be comparing these guns by out of the box accuracy. If you are buying a gun to shoot for group size then you need to make improvements to (or replace) the stock trigger. You also need to make adjustments to the torque on the action screws to improve the accuracy of...

    22lr in stock

    I have enough inventory to shoot for a while. I'm passing to allow others to get what they need to shoot.

    How confidant are you; 3/4 inch consistantly at 100+ yards POLL

    Almost 20% of the shooters here really think they are going to shoot 5 consecutive shots at .75MOA at 100 yards with a .22lr in variable wind conditions almost every time? To me, claiming to be able to do it almost 100% of the time means at least 90% of the time. If you set up 50 targets you...

    How do you break in your rimfire bolt action?

    I would bet that 75% of all rimfire owners go back and forth on ammo without ever cleaning. I have several friends that will shoot whatever they get their hands on without ever cleaning between ammo types (or lube types). Their guns function just fine. So why such the harsh warning to NEVER...

    Can't find it; action screw tension for CZ455VPT

    My 452's shoot best in the 16-24 in/lbs range. I would start at 16 in/lbs and increase by 2 in/lbs until the accuracy trend shows itself. Starting low and working up I was able to see the accuracy improve as I increased the torque and then drop off as I kept increasing. Once you have it...

    Talk me out of Savage MkII TRR?

    A CZ trigger with a $20 spring and shim kit is far superior to the Savage Accutrigger. With the savage you have to buy aftermarket bottom metal if you want to torque the action screws for accuracy. The factory bottom metal will bend long before you get to the torque setting that you need for...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Beretta 92fs Inox Stainless color variations

    I am looking for a Beretta 92fs Inox and have been seeing some pretty substantial color variations in the stainless steel. On the Italian models the upper and lower appear to be a completely different "color." On the American made models the stainless seem lighter than it does on the Italian...

    One Heck of a Decision!

    The Tikka T3s have the smoothest bolts.....and come with a 1MOA or better guarantee. To summarize: Tikka's are smooth to operate and guaranteed accurate.

    Advice on $600 low budget long range rifle

    I agree completely. Could you tell I am partial to Tikka? All of the guns mentioned are going to shoot very well with good ammo. Upgrades are pretty readily available for any of them so little is lost there. For me the decision came down to 2 things: 1) The Tikka has the smoothest operating...

    Advice on $600 low budget long range rifle

    The Tikka T3 for $600 is a no brainer. Savage fans have a really hard time accepting the fact that there are much better rifles out there; and yes, even better values. In my opinion, those Savages make very nice front rests for a Tikka T3.

    Red Jacket ZK-22 Bull Pup

    I kind of like the concept. Looks like a fun rifle to shoot. Having to modify a drop-in stock to fit is ridiculous though. I even admit to watching the show from time to time. Some of the projects they put together are pretty entertaining. I think the part that pisses people off the most is...
