    Browning T-Bolt

    I have a T-Bolt composite with the sporter profile barrel in 17hmr with a Trijicon 3-9x40 Accupoint on top using Talley mounts. I love it, its as light as a feather, barely notice I'm carrying it. It will group under 1moa all day which is fine for me, I bought it to bump off foxes.

    Tikka parts

    I bought bolt shroud, bolt handle and muzzle brake from Hinterland. They lasted about 3 weeks on my gun before I went back to stock. The angle on the back of the bolt handle is not the same as the stock one and required more force to cycle. The machining on the shroud was just half assed. 2...

    tikka t3 recoil lug question

    I swapped my 300 win mag one out after about 1200 rounds. It was pretty beat up on the top leading edge. I have titanium ones in all my tikka's now.

    carbon fiber stocks from evil empire

    If you need a solidworks model of a savage rimfire let me know, I have it modeled up. Not sure if any savage rimfire owners have that sort of cash though, lol.

    Savage Stock system that accepts AR stocks, grips and rails

    You mean something like this? Yes it's a lefty, grip is just a interface placeholder. Total weight is just under 2.2lb (1.0kg) including the magpul grip, buffer tube, and MOE stock

    what calibres are good for short barrels

    300 blackout, its so much fun on roo's, pigs and goats its not funny. I used a T3 light for mine, 16" barrel, factory plastic stock, currently has a vortex razor red dot on it. I do plan on changing this for a 1-4 trijicon accupoint with green triangle reticle. the 300 is also cheaper to...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex or Bushnell?

    Hi Mate, You'll find a lot of vortex fans on the east coast. I have 5 of them, including the 6-24 x 50 PST MRad FFP. You'll notice most gun shops in Oz push Bushnell. Most have never heard of vortex. The push bushnell cause they make huge margin on it compared to others. If your in...

    Gunsmithing New Haas VF2 or should I look at used machines for new shop

    I've practically lived between Haas and solidworks/solidcam for the past 12 years. We have had other machines such as okuma, mori seki etc. The Hass mills are the only ones to run day in, day out zero problems for that time. I'd never give a cent to okuma ever again, worst money spent in my...

    Tikka questions

    I have three T3's, all in Left Hand. a .223 light, a .243 Varmint and a .300winmag in light. Funny, but in Oz they were all cheaper than a rem, ruger or win. I went down the metal bolt shroud and hand route, but took them all off within a month. The hinterland shroud/ handle actually made it...

    Failure to feed with Tikka T3 308

    Only Time I've seen this on Tikka's is when people play with stocks and don't get the recoil lug seated in the slot on the receiver before they bolt it together. Remove the action bolts, and see if you can move the action forward and back. When the lug doesn't seat the front of the receiver...

    Broken foot boot questions

    I was kinda in the same boat, except it was a compound fracture in the tib/fib. Still have long term ligament damage in the ankle. I live in Oakley Boots as a result, I can't speak of many of the other brands mentioned as I can't get them in Oz. Oakley SI Assault Boot 6 Inch | Official Oakley...

    Browning T-bolt

    I have a T-bolt sporter LH composite in .17HMR. I love it. I've seen alot on rimfirecentral complaining of heavy triggers, but mine is 2.8lb with zero creep, perfect for hunting foxes and rabbits here. Since picking up this my Savage gets zero use. No accuracy difference between them, but I...

    Gunsmithing ITAR export question

    Yes it does. Chassis are on the ITAR list. Also on the Australian Customs restricted items list. If its on the ITAR list you require an export permit. Most US companies won't do this as its costs them between $400-$500 USD (from last time I did it). The other way to ship around this is in...

    Really thinking about a .17HMR

    Do it. I have a LH T-bolt synthetic in .17HMR, its not as popular as the CZ or Savages but I prefer it over my savage .22's. Costs a little more coin up front but build quality are worlds apart.

    LH Shooter using RH Bolt Gun

    Re: LH Shooter using RH Bolt Gun Left Hander shooter here, once you buy a left hand action you'll wonder how you ever did without it. Another reason Tikka rock, pretty much everything is available in Left Handed.

    Browning t-bolt?

    Re: Browning t-bolt? Currently http://www.rapidreticle.com/Main/ScopeItem.aspx?ID=6&grpID=6 But its getting swapped out for the new viper pst 2.5-10x32 FFP MRAD when they arrive. Great scope for the money but I'm just not a fan of MOA adjustment when everything else I own is Mrad.
