    Swivel stud to arca rail adapter.

    You don’t need a drill press. You need a drill, 3/4” spade (or forster) bit, 1/4” drill bit….that’s about it. The same night i did the tikka stock, i added t-nuts to a manners stock just like the video below, for a full length arca rail. It was easier than i imagined. Area419- Adding T-nuts to...

    Swivel stud to arca rail adapter.

    I just did this one last night. Thought it might help you. Tikka veil plastic stock. I used 5min epoxy and added 1/2-3/4” of epoxy to the ‘pockets’ in the stock to basically act like a big buffer, and strengthen the stock where the T-nuts are. I had to play with the spacing a little, so to not...

    Tikka 6.5 CTR any regrets not going 24”?

    Same accuracy. The difference would probably be 100+fps. I like my 20” 6.5cm CTR, but starting fresh, I’d go with the 24. I generally like to get the most out of a cartridge. The 24” wasn’t offered until the year after I bought mine. It’s not enough of a difference for me to sell what I...

    Manners Composite Stocks Estimated Lead Times

    Anyone know why manners only makes a couple tikka-compatible stocks? You’d think with the mini chassis especially, they would be able to offer all their stocks with a tikka inlet From what I can tell, there are only 2 or 3 for tikkas. @tmanners

    Looking For Custom Foam For Gunrack/Drawer

    Are you just wanting someone to cut out the shape of the shotgun? Or are you looking for a foam supplier. The post was confusing to me. why would it have to be ’custom hand-cut foam’?

    5/8x24 threads for 22

    You won’t be able to feel a difference. I’m guessing you won’t find one, for good reason

    Death on the Range

    You did your best and that’s commendable. People die like that all the time, when they’re not alone. It’s never pretty. I’ve done a lot of CPR and it almost never works.

    Do you run a SunShade and why or why not.

    i don’t think you read my post accurately. It answers your question Of course lens caps would fit the sunshade. I wouldn’t want to 1) switch my lens caps to the sun shade on the rare chance the sun shade would help and 2) I wouldn’t want to use the sun shade all the time…like if I just left...

    Do you run a SunShade and why or why not.

    I do not use sunshades. I use lens caps, so you either keep the sunshade, with lens caps, or you'd have to take the lens caps off every time you put the sunshade on. I’ve never seen a bug enough difference, to where I’d leave it on all the time
