Cmmg cbr Well said...and influential on my own purchase. Hey guys, I've been watching this thread intently because quite frankly I am also between the CMMG and what we all seem to be referrign to as the "Lewis Machine-and-above" class of rifles. I agree that once you pass the 2k mark...

I have a Tan Pistol Grip Viperskin for my Roedale stock (fitted to a Tikka T3 .308). I like it fine, but I am really after a thumb-hole Viperskin stock. I am slo open to other configurations that I can't name but have seen. I thin the pistol grip is probably the more intelligent...

The bolt is very smooth. Mine is polymer, i think. Its black, a tleast. i havent realy seen my rifle exactly as it is online. I have a heavy barrel with a matte black finish - same with the reciever and all the action. Most of what I see is anodized or just silver. makes me wonder if I...

Optics: Im trying to decide whether to keep my Leupold Mark 4 LR/T 3.5-10x40mm Long Range / Tactical M5 Matte Front Focal Reticle, or my Nightforce 5.5 - 22x50 NXS. is a 50 mm bell overkill for this rifle? i also really do like the caps on the Leupold but they came with it. Nightforce, as you...

I am not really thrilled with my Eotech setup on my Sig 556. With the flip over magnifier, i still cant touch 100 yards accuratley. Is there anoher fli over magnifier that actually works,or does Eotech stop there for a reason. heres the list of 5x scopes im considering, in particular the mark...

Im deciding between two scopes for my AR-15. Its specifically a Sig Sauer 556 Swat patrol. That doesn't matter except that its a very heavy rifle. nearly twice the weight of an American AR. I like the 5x magnification, 20mm bell on a mono-mount approach. I've found these 2 to compare...

I have an Eotech system with 3x magnification. its great and all, but past 100 yards its no good. id really like to get some distance out of this, but I don't know a lot about the drop of the 556 round, etc. My brother put a massive Burris with a 50 mm bell on his AK and seems to be having a...

XLR updates hello all, great thread, great shots. I have a Tikka T3 and am drooling to order my XLR stock. Couple basic question: I have seen Black and Green as stock colors, and I have seen Brown or what you might call Dark Earth (?). My dealer argues that this color does not exist...

Both of these stocks run around $750.00. Im not sure if the Roedale is distributed in the US so right there that sets it off price wise and wiat-time. The Roedale looks pretty solid, but the XLR is all aluminum, and made in the good old USA. Does anyone have experience with either of these...

beyond Dropping $700 for an XLR or a Roedale complete stock swap out, I'd like to know what sort of options there are for my Tikka T3 just for the cheek rest area. I k now CAA makes an ACP: http://store.commandarms.com/products/ACP.html and others. This seems like a viable options...

Re: Spoiled Tikka T3's (KRG, XLR, NF and S&B) PicHeavy I have a T3 and my Thumbhole stock fabrication went to hell. Now Im looking at the XLR, but I love the Magpul stock you have on there. How is that accomplished with the T3 308 tactical chassis? Do you start with an XLR? [email protected]

Re: Failed Tikka T3 Custom stock Next time I have the cash I will probably get an XLR, or something in the GRS family. This is why Im wondering if I should drop this project and save my money. I gave them VERY specific color specifications, swatches, reference, etc, to the point where they...

For now Im going to leave companies name out of it because I'm not entirely sure at what sate this project fell apart. In any case I commissioned a small company to mold a thumb-hole stock for my Tikka T3. i was pretty excited or the 7 months that it took to get the thing dipped and painted...

Re: Leupold Mark 4: What the hell do I have here??? Re: cheeck weld: The T3 has a riser, however Im having a custom stock made that has a fixed cheek weld, so Id have to get some kind of a neoprene bag / bullet holder if I needed more height. Overall the current setup feels fine, but I...

Re: Leupold Mark 4: What the hell do I have here??? I didn't think of that. I would think the drop on a 5.56 round would be vastly different from a .308 out past 300-500 yards or something. Also I really do want to keep my Sig 556 as a fast acquisition, close to mid range combat tool. So...

Re: Best mount for Leupold Mark 4, Tikka T3 I did nt know there was a rail beneath the picatiny. That's interesting and raises some issues. Here's what I did: basically, to start out, I went bargain hunting for anything that looked sturdy and tactical. I ended up with Burris "heavy...

Re: Leupold Mark 4: What the hell do I have here??? I like what Im hearing. Sounds like I can learn on this thing, which is all i want. Its better than my Osprey 3x12x40. Im thinking of either selling it (who'd buy it?) or painting it black and occasionally putting it on my .22LR or even...

Re: Leupold Mark 4: What the hell do I have here??? Thanks guys. Yeah Ive seen some 30x equivalent scopes and I can see the difference. In any case, buyers remorse is fading now. Medium Burris Rings came. I can get a pinky in between the bell and the barrel. I would say its acceptable...

Ok, Im just going to come right out and say that Im in over my head. I want to learn distance shooting, and Ive been investing bit by bit in that endeavor. I bought a Tikka T3 and I think I made a good choice there. I know there arent as many options out there as there are for Remmingtons and...

Re: Best mount for Leupold Mark 4, Tikka T3 I have a T3 Tactical - the one with the heavy free floatign barrel. its not a Varmit. its the Sako/Howa/Tikka collab I think. Does this ring a bell? I am not an experienced rifle shooter so a lot of what you guys are saying is going over my...
