Looking at getting a 223 Tikka Lite SS but see they have 25-06 too. I have a ton of 5.56 (from AK 223 a bit beat up) and 223 range brass and a half ton of 30-06 brass. I have a 6.5x55 Tikka and son has 30-06 Tikka. Love the Tikka and will stay with them for my next rifle. I mostly like...

Anyone try Remington's Bore Squeeg-E ? Rem's Squeeg-E Its a rubber squeegee with several ribs on it that squeegees out the bore, no cleaning patches needed. I use the Otis pull cord and foam bore cleaners. Wounder how Rem's Squeeg-E would work with foam bore cleaner? Rem shows cleaning with...

Is there a way to use the phones (Iphone5) GPS to measure distances? How accurate is it when you set a waypoint (if you can do that with a phone GPS, just got the phone) and use that waypoint to let you know the distance?

When swapping barrels on the 455 from one caliber to other, what do you do with the scope? Do you have to re-zero it or do you get another scope and set up quick detach mount/rings?

Zastava MP 22 22lr. Anyone know about this 22lr? Zastava MP22

Was thinking of getting a cheap M91 for cheap target long range plinking. If the barrel is shot out or bad is there new aftermarket barrels for them? If I had one made, what barrel length would make the best of 7.62x54r? I have read that 31.5 is what the x54 was designed for. It will be a bench...

I have yet to find a used Tikka T3 at a gun show, gun store or gun show. Where are they? How long has the T3 been manufactured?

Is there any affect on the bore from long term copper fouling over a time of months or years? I have been on the road much this last year and might be on the road more. Do I need to get rid of the copper in the barrel if I will be gone for months or a year+? I normally just oil down the bore...

Has anyone done a full life cost of a 17 HMR vs a small caliber centerfire like a 17 cal, 204 cal, 22 cal etc when you reload? Factor in the barrel life, cost of bullet components, bulk 17 HMR's. Is there a clear cost winner between them if you like to plink a lot?

I switched from right hand to left hand not long ago do to eye dominance and better vision. I sold my right hand bolt action for a left handed one. I switch back and forth shooting the lefty and shoot my sons right hand rifle both left and right eyed. So fare I have not had any problems using...

The barrel on the T3 is rather thin. I have a 30-06 and 6.5x55 SS T3 and wondered how the weight of a muzzle device would affect accuracy? Is the barrel thick enough to be threaded?

Is the new Tikka Sporter right hand designed or is it ambidextrous? Would like to know if I should get my hopes up? I tried the Super Varmint left hand the knobs were not too comfy on my cheek.

I was going to convert a Tikka to 260 Rem but found a 6.5x55 and wonder if I would make a bad decision if I went with the 6.5x55? I have read all the positive but are there any disadvantages with the 6.5x55 that I may of over looked?

The price of a 338LM is in my price range but not sure if the ammo is. At $66 a box, its not!!! I can load 30-06 real cheap. Is there a source of cheap bullets for the 338LM? Is there data for reduced loads? Whats the average number of reloads for a case? Whats the average cost reload cost per case?

I just switched to shooting left handed as I am left hand dominant. I am limiting my self for rifles and accessories with the use of a left hand bolt action. How important is it for me to get a left handed bolt action when shooting a bolt action left handed? The rifle will be mostly for bench...

What other actions other than Remington, work in the Tubeguns? Are they made only for the Rem at this time?

With a brand new unfired T3 would I want to shoot it some before I rebarrel it to 260 Rem or just have it rebarreled from the new rifle? What prep work should be done to it if any? truing, lapping, blue printing etc As its new and Tikka's are great shooters from the factory, I would think just...

I know there was talk of a left hand stock for the T3 but are there any out there now? Would a heavy barrel fit on the factory stock without too much work?

DSA is selling a 21" 260 REM FAL barrel for the FAL. They sell shorter ones too. Is 21" long enough for 1000 yrd shooting? Is the FAL platform good enough for long range shooting? How hard is a FAL in brass?

I have some interest in building or buying a 6x45 upper for my AR. I know there are a bunch of other 6mm options for the are but like the idea that brass is cheap/free from range and easy to resize. Before I order one, is there another 6mm AR upper options that brass is cheap and sizing/resizing...
