The rifle came from Tikka chambered in 7-08 with a varmint contour barrel. And while I came to love shooting 7-08, now that the barrel was shot out, economics dictated that I chamber it in something that would use the same bullets as my other Tikka in 6.5x55. So thanks to Vu providing me with a...

I got my Finn 28-76 target rifle a couple years ago when they were first being imported. They're based on the Finn M28 action/barrel which (most all) have a true .308 bore. I'm a big fan of wood stocks, and this style in particular which is very similar to my Tikka 595 & 695 Master Sporter...

I thought I'd post this around in case there is any interest. These are not tactical matches, but High Power prone matches. Originally all sling & coat/iron sight shooters, for the last couple of years they have been open to F Class, which includes F-Open, F-T/R, and now Field Precision rifle...

I have several Swedes in 6.5x55, and Tikka 695 in same. The 6.5x55 really shines in a modern action where it can be loaded to it's top potential. Last year I picked up a Tikka 595 in 7-08. I'm a die hard 6.5x55 fan, but I have to admit the 7mm has really grown on me. I collect and shoot old...

One of the comments made about using the I.O.T.A. is that you need to have a fair amount of light on the target. There is an alternative. Use your computer. Seriously. I use my desk top for sitting, kneeling and off hand practice and my lap top (it sitting on the floor) for prone practice...

Vu Pham asked me to post this up. Every March at Sac Valley we have "March Madness" put on by the High Power discipline. Basically a whole month of long range matches. The NCPPRC monthly LR match is not officially part of the March Madness, but if you include our match that means you can shoot...

A few weeks ago on a Sunday night I was going to do some reloading and when I entered the charge weight, all the number buttons on the left side column entered the number of the adjacent button in the middle row. Tried several times, tried unplugging the unit and starting over a few times. No...

I went out today to do some initial load work up for my new Tikka 595 in 7-08 with a 24" barrel. I wanted a baseline for comparison and when I ordered my bullets and brass I also got a box of the Hornady Superformance 7-08 with the 139gr GMX bullet. The box lists the muzzle velocity as 2910...

Long story short, I recently bought a Tikka 595 in 7-08, which I will shoot till it needs a new barrel (and then do a 260) The rifle will only be used to shoot the NCPPRC tactical steel matches. They only go out to 550 yards and are 90% steel with a small amount of precision paper targets...

There was an article at Accurateshooter.com yesterday about the NRA showing some interest in this sport. Here is the text of the article. <span style="font-style: italic">It looks like the NRA is considering creating a new type of multi-distance rifle match, or at least expanding High Power...

All the pictures are now up. I apologize for this taking so long. The photographer Craig, took well over 2K pictures. I've posted over 800 after sorting through them. All pictures of individuals are there, so if Craig took a picture of you it's in there somewhere. If there's a picture of you...
