Re: recoil .260 vs .308 What exactly do you find Hilarious?

Re: recoil .260 vs .308 I don't step in often, but because I have a young daughter that instantly became infatuated with shooting I want to add my 2 cents worth. She started on a Gamo springer and rapidly moved on to an old "Monkey Wards" .22 that I restored to better than new for her. She...

Re: Good AK-47 for under $700? I have a MAC 90 with minimul upgrades, flash hider, vented forend and not much else. I have a ball shooting clays propped on a berm at 25yds, no spray and pray, but actuall sight acquisition for each shot. Cheap ammo, cheap targets, cheap gun........does it...

Re: SHTF rifle I agree with the AK guys. Cheap to buy, ammo as well, and if it jams you just hit it on the side and you're once again in business. Water, dirt and dust don't seem to affect the opperation and picking up the dead guy's ammo is a definate plus. Save the .223 and .308 for the...

Re: Cleaning after Corrosive-Ammo When I shoot corrosive ammo I immediately clean with a solution of baking soda and water that I keep premixed in a big pill bottle in my range bag. Shake up the bottle, run soaked patches through, run dry patches through, then rem oil. Good to go!

Re: New components on my AR Thumbs up to BattleAxe. Shoot what you want, post what they want, always follow the rules!

Re: Recoil reduction options? I had the same problem with my .270 Win. Bipod load, stock shift, nothing worked. I added a Limbsaver butt pad and all is good. I can shoot to my heart's content with absolutely no discomfort. They work as good if not better then they advertise. Thirty five...

Re: Bolt Handle and Shroud Combo I have been looking at the handle/shroud offering from Hinterland for awhile now. I am closing in on my first Tikka and would add this in a heartbeat. Being able to purchase from known US dealer makes it perfect. Bring 'em in!

Re: SH codes Thanks, lots o yuks

Re: SH codes So bump, ttt or btt is excucated by the seller to update his listing or put it back in the limelight? Thanks

I am new to the forum and am having trouble with some of the "codes" used. I am not a texter so mabey that's the problem. If someone could educate me as to a few of the responses, I would appreciate it. PM? BUMP? TTT? BTT? What do these and any other thing I might stumble on mean, and how do...

Re: I would like to get started suggest please All good advice. The 17HMR should be your "I just need to send a couple hundred rounds down range today" gun. Buy some good factory 30-06 and practice as much as you can afford. Upgrade as finances allow, and if and when you feel you are...

Re: Caliber choice for first time. That actually helped me decide and it's not my post. Thanks!

Re: Ruger Hawkeye Tactical Thanks for the replys. I bought a Tikka T3 Varmint .223 today 'cause the deal was too good to pass.

Anyone have any experience with this gun? I am considering it in .223 for a paper puncher and was wondering what distances and accuracy I should be dreaming about?

Re: 22-250 I am very high on the .22-250 as a midrange shooter. The ballistics are superior to the .223 but cost is proportional to performance. With a bolt gun you won't burn through the ammo you might with a gasser so that may wash the difference. Go with what you have and sell / trade if...

Re: .270 win.LR Question? Thanks!! Lots of useful info here. Looks like I need more than one LR gun, and that is in no way shape or form a bad thing!

I am very new on the Hide so go easy on me. I have noticed there is little or no "activity" regarding .270 win. as a long range round. Is there a reason for this? I am currently trying to decide on a caliber to focus on and have picked the .270 as a viable solution. Obviously the .308 is the...

Closing in on a Tikka .22-250 Varmint deal and need to know where I can find bulk ammo to feed it on short range shoots.

Just wanted to re-post this cry out for a Tikka T3 Varmint in .223 or .308 to all who might have some direction. I want one for a build, and can't find anything.
