    Tikka T3x TAC A1 First Impressions

    I bought a Tikka T3x TAC A1 in 6.5 Creedmoor last week. I've been eyeing them for a while, and one of them showed up at my local Sportsmans Warehouse and I jumped on it. Impressions so far - Gun is heavier than my other Tikkas in X-Ray/Whiskey 3 but...

    PRS Talk 2017 PRS finale

    So round count is 260. Start time is Saturday Dec 9 at 7 am. If you want to check zero you'll have to make it to the range the day before. Should end by 4 pm on Sunday Dec 10. Matt Clem has been very responsive on facebook. Looking forward to shooting in Oklahoma.

    I just got qualified for the PRS finale in Production division. Does anyone know anything about the match? Round count, # of stages, start time, and end time are what I am most interested in learning about right now.

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares BTR 4.5x27x50

    I've shot the Ares BTR 4.5-27x50 in Mil in 2 PRS matches now - Lone Survivor and Snipers Hide. Its mounted on my Tikka T3x Tac A1, and I'm shooting Production Division. I had a lot of problems with my ammo, but the gun and scope combination has shot great. At Sniper's Hide I had a first round...

    What time does the match end on Nov 4? I'm trying to figure out if I can catch a 7 pm flight from Corpus Christi, or fly out the next morning.

    Tikka T3X Tac A1 versus Accuracy International AT

    This was my thinking as well. I run Tikkas and KRG chassis on all my guns (except the TAC A1), so for me spigot mounts, bipods, slings, etc are interchangeable. And given that the AT is too heavy for PRS shooting for me, I've decided to stick with Tikka. Still lust after it though.

    So you guys wanted a way to mount your Magnetospeed with no POI shift?

    Somebody needs to build a muzzlebrake with a built-in magnetospeed.

    Tikka T3X Tac A1 versus Accuracy International AT

    I have the Tikka, and posted about it here - https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/forum/sniper%C2%92s-hide%C2%AE-armory-supply/sniper-s-hide-bolt-action-rifles/6448410-tikka-t3x-tac-a1-first-impressions. It shoots factory Prime into about 0.5" - 0.6" groups, and usually with an SD of less than...

    Wrist Coach for PRS match: Not comfortable.... Any alternatives?

    I got gifted ones of these at my first match - http://sunrisetacticalgear.com/Arm-Board-Tactical-wrist-coach-0930412.htm. I've always loved it, but keep losing them at matches. I've tried other cheaper ones, but can never find anything nearly as good.

    Nosler RDF 140, Reloder 26, Tikka T3x TAC A1 6.5 Creedmoor

    So this is my first foray into reloading. I've been shooting Prime 130 ammo form my 6.5 Creedmoor rifles, so I have lots of once fired brass. Decided to start by loading it with some Reloder 26 using the Scott Satterlee & 6.5 guys method -...

    Tikka T3X TAC A1 product support

    My first rifle was .308 Savage 10FCP bolt action. Loved it, but eventually sold it after I got my first Tikka. The Tikka action is miles better than the Savage. And all my Tikka factory barreled actions have been great shooters. Rebarreling a Tikka is more complicated than the Savage but really...

    Tikka T3X TAC A1 product support

    Tikka T3x TAC A1 First Impressions

    I don't have the 24.5" CTR, but removing the TAC A1 from its chassis, it looks just like my other Tikka barreled actions. The barreled action will fit in any stock in-letted for a Tikka T3x action. I suspect that you are right and the barreled action is identical to the T3x CTR 24.5".

    Rifle Scopes Who makes the best rail for a Tikka T3X?

    I've used the Mountain Tactical rails and they've always worked great for me. The recoil lug is nice to have, although I am not sure its strictly needed on my 6 and 6.5 match rifles. Also, Jard makes a trigger for the Tikka, which I believe is 2-stage http://www.jardinc.com/new-page-40/. The new...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Scopes

    So I sent my Cronus in to Athlon for service in late June. It shot fine and the glass and reticle are great, but the parallax knob was very stiff. I thought it would take them a few weeks to return it, so I sent it to them just before I went to Europe for a couple of months. To my surprise, they...

    PRS Talk Looking for tips on traveling to matches

    Can you put ammo in the same case as the firearm? Or does it need to be in a separate box by itself? I get the ship it to destination advice, but my itinerary will be complicated, so that probably won't work for me.
