    duracoat vs dura heat

    I am going to apply duracoat to some of my guns, including bolt action rifles, semi auto rifles and handguns. I know that cerakote is superior to duracoat, but seems like cerakote needs more equipment to diy. Duracoat is easier to diy. However, semi auto rifles or handbun barrels might get...

    ssg3000 18 inch version already arrived?

    That does not really bother me because my purpose for this gun is only up to 600 yards. Besides, 308 is not really a good long range caliber anyway. If I really want to go extra long range, I would prefer 260rem or 300wm.

    ssg3000 18 inch version already arrived?

    I saw one on Gun Broker. But I did not see it anywhere else except pre-orders. Do you guys have any information about that?

    Broke a bolt handle. Yay...

    It seems that non-integral bolt handle has its advantages. If it is integral with bolt body, such as winchester 70 or surgeon, when the handle breaks, you have to replace the whole bolt. BTW, what is the make of this broken bolt handle? I wonder if it is quality issue or just an accident in...

    Tikka T3 Picture Thread.

    I am asking this because I am not sure if the 7.5 lb official weight for tikka tactical or varmint is accurate. If the gun was 7.5 lbs originally, add optics 2.5 lbs, it should be no more than 10 lbs. Where does the other 3 lbs come from? The original stock was about 2 lbs, if changing to...

    Tikka Rifles

    I did not say remove everything. If you buy tactical, you must keep the barrel. If you buy lite and rebarrel, I think that will cost almost the same as buying a tactical. You buy a good barrel at around $300 to $400, plus gun smith cost around $400 to $500, the total cost is about $800...

    Tikka Rifles

    I am a tikka owner. I like tikka. However, I am not happy with some plastic parts on it. It is not because I hate plastic, actually I am a huge fan of plastic guns such as hk. If the plastic parts are strong enough, that is perfectly fine. But the bolt shroud on my tikka cracked. I replaced...

    Tikka T3 Varmint+KRG build.

    This ctr still has plastic stock. Seems the only improvement compared to a varmint is the magazine, which is the same as trg22. But if you want to change stock or chassis, the mag improvement is worth nothing. tikka varmint is still the best choice but now it is hard to get.

    Tikka T3 Varmint+KRG build.

    right, but tac is more expensive. if I buy a tac and throw it on top of a KRG Xray chassis, it will be $2000. I think it is a little too much.

    what is the big advantage of chassis over stock?

    Thank you guys. I will search and read old threads.

    what is the big advantage of chassis over stock?

    I saw many people using chassis and also many using stocks. I know that when using chassis system, you do not need to do glass bedding or such things. Glass bedding could get softer after a period of time, and glass bedding could also be softened by gun cleaning solvent. Chassis system seems...

    Tikka T3 Varmint+KRG build.

    Thanks! It is a pity they do not import varmint any more. Maybe they do not want to compete with the tactical model, which is more expensive.

    Tikka T3 Varmint+KRG build.

    very nice. I am thinking of the same thing. But I am wondering how heavy it is without a scope. BTW you got any deal for the tikka varmint?
