    Latest rifle - Sauer 205

    An AI 11mm 28moa mount, or Spuhr mount for 11mm (ssg) would work well.

    tacom structured barrel

    As a consideration... Does anyone know what/ how the naval guns (or tank) sort this out? Relatively speaking, they appear to have quite good accuracy, and from a bore to diameter ratio, they wouldn't scale to a typical heavy barrel

    MDT Oryx - Weight adding options

    Favor ask: Could someone measure and post the forward hole spacing on the chassis? Those front two lateral holes near where MDT put mlok slots on the latest gen skins I think I heard 135 mm, but I can't recall for certain

    Thoughts? Christiansen Arms Mesa vs Tikka T3X

    Tikka max magazine oal will be 3.32-3.34" oal which may cause great offense if reloading lo-drag heavies If you tinker to set it up with an aics la system (mdt oryx), max oal may be extended to 3.5ish at the cost of a few weeks of buying and assembling parts But it's a nice action, barrel...

    .308 Winchester

    Tried the 174VT's at 2.82/ mag fit and ran them thru a barrel with a few miles on it and they did well; no signs of finicky Might not be constructive to say that my experience has been that too much focus is spent on jump when its effect is less than it is more. In my case, jump was probably a...

    22 LR Long Range Dispersion, What is the Culprit

    Maybe late to the party with a super fast browse, but SD plays a pretty huge role in dispersion on the 22lr side both from pure ballistic drop and thereafter dynamics. Run a chrono in your 'elr' testing and the story clarifies quick

    Anyone flying the 176s?

    .308 Winchester

    This pretty much a ctrl+c with whatever works for the 175/178 club Back off a grain and a half or whatever and get close to your reasonable speed for barrel length

    .308 Winchester

    Tried the new 174 gr VT from Hornady with N140 44.3gr gave 2550fps and 45gr gave 2600 in a 24" Tikka Rambo with factory barrel. 2.800 oal. Using .289 G7 to 2100fps and .275 slower seemed to work pretty well

    308 Norma Mag

    With a Corvette, you can fit huge engines in there easily. With a Porsche, not so much, but it isn't necessarily slower on the track Similar is life and times enjoying the Tikka T3 😉

    308 Norma Mag

    Has anyone out there played around much with the 'classic' 308 Norma Mag in a long barrel? (or 30-338 Mag) Wondering about what speeds you're able to run up to with 225's or 230's & modern powders

    Switch barrel hybrid

    Over the last dozen years I've tried to find a way that any short mag could outperform the plain vanilla 284 with a long barrel, and I have yet to discover those physics - 284 match chamber, 183gr+ offering, 27"+ barrel and 2800fps will be easy. Long action, standard boltface, and energy...

    Tikka M65A action rail q

    Thank you for that; I'll hope it works. The 65A/ 658 lack of drilled receiver is curious, as both the 65 and 695 had drilled receivers. The trigger is a very unique element. A Two stage Tikka from long ago.

    Early Model S&B PM question

    It appears it's either a knock off or maybe (but unlikely) .mil No serial number, no typical SB or COO markings, and where the character '4' is used on the turrets, it's a 'closed top' 4, as opposed to an 'open top' number four character. Looks pretty accurate otherwise...

    Early Model S&B PM question

    Found what is claimed to be a well used Schmidt and Bender 3-12 x 50 scope. It looks pretty legit, but it lacks the SB roll stampings on the eyepiece beyond the 3-12 x 50 spec and + - for the paralax adjust, and no Schmidt and Bender stamping anywhere on the scope. Looks like an early PM2...

    Tikka M65A action rail q

    Found a neat curiosity on my Tikka M65A while shopping for a proper scope & rings for it - The scope rail/ action rail on the 65A (yes the 65A) measures 15.7mm 'across', while the action rail on the M55/ M65 series are 16.3mm and finally the T3 is advertised as 17mm Does anyone out there...
