Going through the safe for inspection and cleaning and found this. The only thing I can think of that might have caused it was an incident 4 years ago. The rifle hit the ground from me tripping over a random string of snow covered barb wire in the middle of the woods. Only thing I noticed...

Has anyone here done it and who did you have do the work? I'm looking at getting a Tikka T3 lite in 30-06 for little to almost nothing. I already have T3's in .308 and .243, would be looking to rebarrel the new one to 7mm RM or 7mm-08. If I go with the 7mm RM, I need a new bolt wouldn't I...

I have a 6 1/2 and 1 1/2 year old sons. My oldest likes to help with the reloading process and has reloaded 40cal and .223 under my supervision. My youngest gets pissed off and throws a fit if he doesn't get to go see and hold onto the guns. Click on the image to watch the video. I enjoy...

I ran a ladder test this past winter and found the rifle liked 41.8 gr H414. Shot a group at that charge and then never got time to work on it. Until today that is... 100yd Target. 0mph wind 77F 4 shot group loaded by hand. Rounds to long for magazine. Easily fixed with a long action mag and...

I finally got to the range today even through the conditions weren't ideal. They were still pretty damn nice compared to what we have been dealing with for the last 7 months. Shooting from a cement bench with a bi-pod and rear bag. Whats your take on this target. Did I finally find a...

My dad gave these to me tonight. He said he got them at an auction a couple years ago thinking he would buy a 308 rifle and never did. I haven't ever seen any ammo in paper holders, let alone for that price. If a guy could only reach back in time to snag them at that labeled price! I'm...

Will the outside temperature and ammo temp change the harmonics and cause node shift? Example: 20F to 90F outside temp? I know that the POI will shift vertically due to the FPS change. Curious because its 22F outside and I'd like to go work up some .243 95gr VLDs and .308 168gr AMAX...

Part stupidity, part one shot, caused the stuck 308 case in my RCBS resizing die. After I got it out I ran another one in to see if I had hurt the re-sizer die its self. Shit... So much for reloading 308 this weekend. I've gotten a few stuck over the years but this one took the...

I'm kicking around the idea of re-barreling a Tikka T3 lite stainless in 243 and wondering what expenses and issues I will have to resolve. Can I re-barrel it to a 260 Remington? Since its based off the 308 cartridge I should be able to use the same bolt. Maximum COAL to fit into the SA Tikka...

I can't seem to stop playing this song. Enjoy!

I don't seem to have the option to change it now. I go to edit avatar and the only option I have is "Do not use avatar". Not seeing any place to actually change it. I've also noticed that when people quote others it doesn't encase it or separate it as a quote. Love the new site just have...

With the attack on the 2A being pretty much non stop in all States of our once fine nation. I would like to know what vendors on here are doing their best at standing up for our 2A rights. I'm going to be purchasing a Bushnell TRS-25, Viper PST, 20MOA EGW base and low TPS rings. Would like to...

This will be my build log for Gungnir. "In Norse mythology, Gungnir is Odin's magical spear it always hits its mark and always kills." Purpose of the rifle is to become my primary hunting weapon. Deer, prarie dogs, coyotes, etc.. Limiting the weight to ~10 pounds. Build list is as...

I hate to post this because of the other posts like it. But I keep running myself in circles and need help out of it. Working on my Tikka T3 Lite build and need a scope. Needs to stay under $1k for the optic and intended purpose is primarily hunting out to ~550yds. Looking to upgrade the stock...

I ordered a Tikka T3 Lite Stainless in .243 with an extra extended magazine on Saturday. It came down to a Rem 700 SPS SS or the Tikka T3. The Tikka won out with how absolutely smooth and positive the action felt compared to the Remington and the weight difference. The rifled just fit when i...
