Re: XLR vs. Roedale RCS II .308 chasis for Tikka T3 For what its worth, I have the Roedale and I am very happy with it. Solid customer service too. The general impression I get is that you cant go wrong with either

Re: WTB my father an R700 Another shout for Tikka here. I would look at the T3 Hunter in 270 - impact guns has them for $650. The wooden stock will be an improvement over the light plastic stock the T3 Lites come with, and its only 1/2 lb heavier (6.5lb total). 3 round detachable magazine...

Re: Tikka T3 RCS II review Hey Sharac, I tried that - but it still is too high. It does mean I feel more confident in buying some slightly larger rings though - I was worried previously that the next size up might not be large enough. Having moved the cheek piece over, I think they will be...

Re: Tikka T3 RCS II review I had thought about that, but I was hoping to keep the scope where it is as it fits perfectly atm with very little clearance! But yes I guess that would be the easiest option...

Re: Tikka T3 RCS II review I just got mine through on Tuesday - an excellent bit of kit! I have one fairly major problem though: The cheek piece provided is too high for me to be able to see down the scope! Does anyone know if lower cheek pieces can be bought from anywhere, or how easy it...

Re: UK twist on SIII vs PST - Input needed Hi BCP, They do indeed export to the UK, but the problem is that warranty (with Sightron at least) is then rendered null and void. You have to use the in-country distributor to take advantage of the warrenty Nice idea though! And money wise I was...

Re: UK twist on SIII vs PST - Input needed Thanks for the input thus far - confirming my thoughts toward the SIII. I have only shot out to 800 with it thus far but have access to 1000. Either way its a fairly simple job. Dial in adjustments, quarter target and go go on the boom button...

Hi all, I know the SIII vs PST has been discussed at length, but I feel being in the UK with our sometimes bizarre pricing puts a unique spin on things. First some background - I have been using a first generation 4-14 FFP Falcon Menace for the past three years. It has served me well but the...

Re: Tikka T3 RCS II review Quick question - does the action need to be modified in any way to allow the AI Mags to feed properly?

Re: new .22 decision Kinda surprised no-one has shouted up for the Sig 522 yet. I was going through the same dilemma a few months ago, and if you are in the market for a tacticool .22 the S&W MP 15-22 or the Sig 522 seem to be the rifles to go for. As others have said, the HK 416 is an Umarex...

Re: Lapua 155 Scenars out of a 20" barrel? I run a load in my Tikka T3 that gives me around half a minute accuracy when I do my part. Load is 46.3g Varget, Lapua Brass, 155 Scenars - gives about 2750fps out of my barrel. According the ballistic calculators ive used, its enough to stay...

Re: Green or Red lit reticle? The human eye is 4x more sensitive to green light than it is to red. Apparently this sensitivity gap becomes even greater at night - which would explain the green IR's tendency to appear too bright and distract from the target. I would say you made the right...

Re: 12 shot dead, twenty five wounded in UK Its all over the news in the UK. The home secretary released a statement just now saying that the firearms laws will likely go under review once the police have finished their investigation. Spokesman for the Prime Minister has spoken out in defence...

Re: Tikka T3 Super Varmint ?? This may not be the answer that you are after but... Save you money. Buy the regular varmint w/aftermarket rail. If you find the cheek piece is too low, buy an eagle/TacOps/brand of your choice cheek piece. You will have saved yourself a lot of money and the gun...

Re: A bad day on the range !! Dont mean to hi-jack but this seems like an appropriate place to ask: what do you guys use for saftey goggles? Just standard polycarbonate shooting goggles or full-on ballistic eye protection. Im worried my standard shooting goggles may not be up to the task...

Re: Tikka T3 Build - " Gungnir " Sorry to hear you are having a hard time with your handloads. The only thing that springs to mind is that the VLD's like to be seated right next to the lands w/very little jump. I know on my T3 in .308win that pretty much rules out loading to magazine length...

Re: Does anyone know any Designated Marksmen? You are clearly better informed than I sir. I garnered that information from the few individuals I talked to within the forces... Ed; I said I had no previous experience in this area. I understand the "kill bad guys" requirement; im pretty sure...

Re: Does anyone know any Designated Marksmen? Hi all, I certainly do understand the skepticism, and I have done my best to address these concerns with the individuals who have PM'ed me. Just to reiterate however, my idea for the paper was to examine the operational requirement for the...
