    Range Report First Long Range Session with Tikka in 6.5x55

    *Sorry about the tilted pics. Trying to figure out how to fix that, but not having much luck. You have to click on the pics, then click the zoom, twice?* EDIT: Think I got it fixed, but if the pictures look rotated 90 degrees to anyone, please let me know. Details on this rifle can be found...

    Kudos to Triad Tactical and Rifles Only/TAB Gear!

    I just wanted to take a moment to give a shout out to Triad Tactical and Rifles Only/TAB Gear. Late last week, I ordered a stock pack from Triad, as well as a Pod Lock. The package showed up, today. I have stock packs from other makers and, while they do the job just fine, I have to say that the...

    My Tikka Project Is Done (after nearly 18 months)!

    My stock finally came, today. If you would have asked me yesterday if I thought it was worth the wait, I'm not sure how I would have answered. Today, however, I think it certainly was. This project started out as a Tikka T3 Sporter in 6.5x55. I actually liked the way that the OEM stock fit me...

    For Those Who Have Tikkas in McMillan Stocks

    I just ordered an A-5 (my first McMillan) for my T3 project, today. So, the waiting game begins. In the meantime, I would love to hear from those of you who have Tikkas in McMillan stocks. Your impressions, advice and, especially, pictures would be greatly appreciated. I ordered the pillars...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell ET6245FG: Any Word On Release Date?

    I see that they have this scope listed on their site, but have not seen it anywhere else. It's the same 6-24x50 Ill. FFP scope, but with the G2 reticle. I just bought the mildot version and love it (as I also love my 4200 Elite 3-12x44 FFP), but have a new project rifle in the works and am...

    K98 SSR Sniper Clone (300 Yd. Update)

    Just got her back yesterday and mounted the scope. I tried to get it zeroed, today, but it was just too windy and setting the windage on this mount proved to be a PITA. I was pressed for time, but I got it close. I'm going to have to try again on a calm day and when I have more time. Rifle is a...

    Range Report: 1944 Tula M91/30 PU Sniper @ 506 yd

    I wanted to do some more 500 yard testing with my '44 Tula PU Sniper and my match loads. I wish I could get set up for 600 right now, to mimic the Vintage Sniper Match, but I'm going to have to wait. At my neighbor's pit, they've been moving things around, a lot. However, as it turned out, they...

    Range Report: 1939 Tula Arsenal M91/30 PEM Sniper

    I got out yesterday, with hopes of shooting this rifle at 300 yards. However, our normal 300 yard berm, at my neighbor's gravel pit, is now gone. The excavating company that's been taking gravel out decided that they needed that pile, I guess. So I had to find another lane of fire. To add to the...

    Introduction with Mosin Sniper Porn

    I've been reading this site for at least a few years, now. However, I just registered, today. I'm thrilled to see a vintage forum here and hoping to see a lot more of what we came here for....vintage sniper rifles! I'm into all kinds of rifles, but WW2 is my cup of tea. I have about 25 Mosins...
