gundeals.com & gunbroker have them all the time. Nothing is hard to find, but most gun dealers I've met talk with 1 distributor or maybe 2.

I don't care either way on breaking in a barrel, but if there's any chance it'll help at all I don't have any issue running a cleaning patch too often when the first few shots are going down the barrel.

Had a 308 play date with my Tikka T3X CTR in 308 and the M1A scout. It was the first time I shot the Tikka since putting it in the new Grayboe and painting it. The zero was way off, but 3 round later it was back where it needs to be. I had a handful of Fed GMM 175gr, but then played with some...

Well... I took a shot at blending all of the different colored items together and I think it turned out half way decent. I no sooner got done and realized that I had forgotten to put the bipod on the stock, so I've got one more spray paint project to look forward to. I already knew the rifle...

Last night my Grayboe Phoenix showed up for my CTR in 308. I was really impressed with how it fit up getting the barreled action on the stock. The factory bottom metal fit up nice and tight, dummy rounds fed and cycled smoothly. I threw on my old Vortex PST gen 1 6-24 ffp and just need to get...

Have any of you Tikka guys taken a 5rd magazine for a CTR and made some modification so it'll act and perform like a 10rd mag? I only ask because I'd like to get another couple mags, but all I can find are 5rd. Is it a different follower, a dent in the metal body or something else that makes...

I've got a Tikka T3X CTR in 308 and I'd like another 10rd mag or two. The 10rd mags seem to be out of stock, and I do see some 5rd mags laying around. Is it just the follower that makes it a 5rd mag or are there detents in the steel body. I'm hoping that there's either some easy way to...

Used to have the regular black finish from the factory on the 20" 308. It was lent to my friend so his brother in law could go to Mammoth with him. I was expecting rubbing on the pack, maybe some light surface rust from the rain, but what happened ended up being a bit more than expected. It's...

I've been very happy with my Tikka CTR regarding accuracy and smooth action, but recently lent it to a friend for a match and the finish came off like nothing I'd ever seen before. The factory stock is good for a lightweight hunting option. I think my rifle with vortex PST Gen 1, bipod and...

I have not shot it off a sandbag. I never do that at competitions so it never crossed my mind to try that, but that's not a bad idea. My G17 has Trijicon HD sights, and if it wouldn't make sense to put a rear adjustable sight this gun they way it's currently setup. I've actually been thinking...

I 100% get it. I've been to Mammoth twice and took a different rifle each time. That's why I was really shocked to see all the finish off the gun as much as it was. The surface rust was to be expected as far as I'm concerned, but where the finish just completely came off was a really new...

Not going to lie, it does look like Charlie Sheen and Hunter Biden partied with this rifle. Any rust on any of the parts really just simply wiped off. I was more concerned with the finish coating over everything else because this rifle will see rain again many more times.

So.... I've got some questions and concerns about the finish on my Tikka T3X CTR in 308. Before people get too excited I need to say that I bought this rifle to get used, and shot. I expect it to get scratched up and show signs of wear and I see that as a badge of honor that a gun earns over...

You guys are really making me want to buy one of everything and try it out. When you guys looked at the Glock 34/17/19, did you consider the shadow systems clones? I don't have a care either way, but I'm just curious if they're taken seriously for competition or not. I haven't heard of...

I do like my glocks, but I like most every gun out there so I don't only shoot one thing. I routinely dry fire many of my guns for training and practice, but my G17 is the bedside buddy and competition gun just because of the glock reputation for reliability and I shoot it very well. I have...

So along these lines, a buddy of mine recently picked up a shadow systems 920L and other than feel and cosmetics the only real thing I saw that I liked noticeably better than a comparable glock was the ability to directly mount a red dot optic rather than the glock MOS system. Is there a clear...

I appreciate all the comments guys I really do. Doesn't sound to me like there's an absolute no brainer answer to this or some clear winner of a pistol that I wasn't aware of. This did get me thinking that I haven't shot my 1911 in quite a while though and I need to dust that off, lol.

I definitely fall into the camp of people who don't have a clue about USPSA, but I have seen some of them on TV and some of those shots are a legit challenge that's an accuracy challenge. It interests me honestly, because i like seeing how one stage is more of an accuracy challenge while the...

The pistol shooting at the matches I like isn't like a run is running around blasting at carboard targets 20 ft away around a barrier like the pistol matches I've only seen on TV. The pistol shooting is more to keep rifle guys honest and make them show they can at least use a pistol. Some of...

The reason I'm asking is because I believe I can outshoot my Glocks on a precision marksmanship only aspect of the gun. Regarding the durability and reliability that's why I'm a fan of them, and I've taken them on hiking trips, carried for self defense etc. I thought I was more clear, but...
