    Tikka re-barrel for 7prc or 280ai

    I really appreciate it but I have my heart set on that manners eh1 with their mini chassis. If you can send me any load info you care to share. Hammer has some good data but it's always good to see more. Shit that's how I learned about 200mr for 175 and up in my 308.

    Tikka re-barrel for 7prc or 280ai

    That's who has a 7 month wait last I checked. I'll call them this week and get a better idea on times.

    Tikka re-barrel for 7prc or 280ai

    Thank you all for the help and info! There's a reason I've been lurking on here for over a decade. So the only real hurdle for 280ai is going to be a barrel. I want to go prefit and not wait 7+ months so I'll try to find a decent gunsmith around here. As for the loading goes I'm primarily...

    Tikka re-barrel for 7prc or 280ai

    I've been shopping around for components and parts. There's Peterson brass available for 280ai, hammer has the 170hht and I have powders and primers. The bad part is wait time on a barrel from carbonsix. That is what I was afraid of with a 280ai build. I can get a 7prc proof barrel from multiple...

    Tikka re-barrel for 7prc or 280ai

    Is anyone using more free bore for the longer bullets and case capacity in your 280ai guns?

    This is killer insight and much appreciated

    Tikka re-barrel for 7prc or 280ai

    Your input is greatly appreciated! 280ai definitely seems to make the most sense especially running 170gr. I guess I should wait until I can shoot the 7prc before even considering it as well

    Tikka re-barrel for 7prc or 280ai

    The 280ai will do everything I need and be the easiest. I have powders and primers that I can use. Will the prc be better in the long run due to it being pushed so heavily by the industry? I know I am definitely over thinking but it's keeping me entertained! The recoil is a great consideration...

    Tikka re-barrel for 7prc or 280ai

    Yes re-barrel for a different round. I wasn't really clear. The main question is will it be worth the little extra work to go 7prc when I can easily just re barrel for 280ai?

    Tikka re-barrel for 7prc or 280ai

    Being down for surgery, I have more than ample time to think about things I don't need. So my plan is to finally move on from the good ol 270win in favor of something that pushes heavy-ish 7mm pills like the hammer 170 hht. So here's where I need your help. I can very easily do 280ai and get em...

    Vortex viper hst

    I have a 4-16 and I'm not thrilled with it. The mirage is terrible, parallax adjustment is almost inop and the tracking gets worse each time out. Not recommended. Once it gets replaced by vortex it will be on a 22 or truck gun. Way better options these days imo

    Hunting & Fishing What's your favorite fish, fowl or game recipe ?

    Venison cut about an inch thick, pounded tender, slightly salt and let sit, egg wash then cover in homemade Italian bred crumb (briciola, mollica: French bread crumb, onion, fresh parsley, garlic, parm, salt/pepper and good olive oil then blend) then pan fry in olive oil. Kind of like schnitzel...

    Maggie’s Refrigerator stickers

    Damn it I just burned through all my stack on my reloading bench. I'll dig around a bit, I think I still have some of the big king offroad racing stickers and some other 4x4 big stickers.

    I'm really glad OP asked this as I have been contemplating asking a similar question. Unfortunately for me I have a lot less options. I can't think of anything a broken 35yo diesel and equipment mechanic could do to get me anywhere near the money I earn now. I believe heavily in the importance...

    That's awesome! I've been wanting to attend some of their classes for a couple months now but I haven't gotten notice of availability. Glad to hear they are good classes and I'm glad you shot it with a shorty 308!

    Lost my best friend I've ever had a year and half ago to cancer. We only got to share a few years with him but we spoiled him rotten. Retired bear hound turned bed hound. Miss him everyday but I have great memories of the most loving creature I've ever been blessed with. Make sure y'all give...
