    GA precision

    I've never had one , not rich enough, but their reputation is outstanding. I'd absolutely love to have one if i came into the money. But I have to admit I chuckled at the idea "it's never worth the wait" ... Are you in dire need of a sniper rifle?? My old man is a retired Somebody in the LEO...

    Tikka Question

    I also put a LimbSaver AirTech on my UPR 308 - I use LimbSavers on everything I can ... I myself thought the Pachmayr Decelerator I got on a stock once wasn't all that impressive whatsoever, but LimbSaver makes a huge difference to me... especially on shotguns. A LimbSaver on a 12ga takes away...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    So I found and rewatched a video on YouTube where someone visited the Sako in-house stock factory , and the narrator/'tour guide" is the guy who was the "R&D Manager" and I think the lead on the UPR among other things at Tikka. - And he basically said that resin that is impregnated in the...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    OK thank you ... I haven't shot it in a bit and I saw this and it made me worry. I wonder, is this a warranty type of thing? I am pretty sure when I bought it, they offered some sort of additional years of warranty if I registered it online. But I know this company sucks to deal with...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    So I have to ask now- is mine cracked too? I had understood this stock to be two pieces put together, so at first I just assumed the line was normal but now I'm worried it's broke? Sorry about the terrible camo job and the photography ... it's actually easier to see with the flash off, I...

    Back stop at home shooting range

    One thing I can add is to take into account 'compression', settling, etc. We bought a little more than 40+ acres, in the woods basically, and had about 3-3.5 acres cleared, for the house and basically for a "yard" for my (now-passed, but perpetually beloved) 4-legged-son ... and the...

    MPOs now $699- a good budget choice ?

    I have an MPO 5-25x56mm and I absolutely love it. I am very, very happy I picked it. I thought I myself got a good deal on mine, but this is even better. Anyone who needs a scope, jump on it. If I had the money to buy a 3-18 just for future use, I'd do it just on General Principle. I found...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    So I believe I have posted this all before but I don't get on this forum all that often and I figure can't hurt to say it again- I have a UPR and I love it - love it - and felt like I scored a deal on it, it just feels and shoots much more expensive than it was. I was in a position different...

    why are all Swarovski scopes SFP if FFP is supposedly better?

    "Different" and "Better" are two separate things entirely. A long time ago, I wanted to build me a 700-based "sniper rifle" ... I knew I didn't have the money to actually build a credible M24/M40 clone but nevertheless wanted to have a .308 700 'tactical'-style rifle. I was shopping with my...

    Rifle Scopes 10x Rifle scope capabilities

    I mean, I'm sure this has been said and said better than I will - but ... Both the US Army AND US Marine Corps used 10X scopes & blasted PLENTY of fools using 10X scopes for what, decades? Several different wars? And while I agree with the people saying more & bigger is 'better' ... Even the...

    Vault Door/ Safe room experiences?

    Could you put a little context out? Are you building a new house and want to add a safe room, or are you wanting to have a safe room installed in your current house? I ask because I'm in Florida- and our concrete wall-"general contractor" built the physical safe room also, no problem, and the...

    Athlon argos

    I have said this multiple times - I am not sayin here, I'm just sayin... Around this time last year I bought myself a Tikka T3X UPR and I absolutely love it. Initially I was looking for a budget optic and settled on an Athlon Argos BTR 6-20x50mm - it was actually advertised as a Gen 2 but it...

    Help. Should I buy a Cz 457 or Savage mark 2

    I have a Savage Mark II "GXP - G for basic Wooden Stock and XP for combo package- came with a basic Bushnell Banner 3-9x40mm scope (which was actually *awesome* - the only reason I wound up replacing it was because I allowed a friend to shoot it at the range, he knocked it over and it hit the...

    Can I get some 1911 advice?

    I also have a Rock Island 1911 that has been positively *amazing*. It came out of the box looking like it was hand-built by a custom gunsmith. I remember I had ordered it and had it delivered to a local gun shop for the transfer and the guy, who was a nice guy but not necessarily the...

    Is Optics Planet a Complete Scam?

    Two things- EuroOptic is the bomb, great place and their people have always been very nice to me. I also got OpticsPlanet'd on an order that they didn't actually have. I believe it was a Viridian T5L-RS for my Saiga-12... the price was the lowest price on the internet and there was some...

    Second thoughts on first scope

    The absolute best advice is something I was often seeing on the online firearms community when I first started chatting on forums like this in '09/'10 ... "Buy Once, Cry Once" ... Otherwise what you do is you buy a $200 scope like a Nikon ProStaff ( which I have several of and love, and are...
