    Changed the Sako Sticky Stock

    Gave that thing a whole new look from its original self, well done. This gives me some motivation to start some projects.

    Tikka 6.5 creedmore loads

    Eldm 147 factory ammo is what I use in mine and they are very consistent and tight. Gives me no reason to try anything else. I’ve also found them to be the cheapest to buy where I’m located. All my tikkas have really liked eldm or eldx. Good luck

    Is Mountain Tactical closed?

    I had trouble getting ahold of them as well, but once they got back to me they were quick to help. It took probably a week to hear from them in my case.

    Tikka vs Springfield vs Seekings

    can you send me a link for your skiff? I like the look of that setup. I have the tikka ember I really like it. threaded, fluted. if you are considering a seekins I assume the little extra for the stainless D18 barrel wont be a big deal as far as the tikka is concerned.

    Bought my first Tikka.

    I just picked up a tikka ember 6.5 cm. I agree with the Hornady recommendations 140-147 Eld-m 143 eldx. I’ve personally had good luck with eldx in other rifles on game. This will be my first go with eldm bullets in the 6.5cm. Good luck to ya

    it was real bad yesterday mid coast, felt like a good ole coastal winter blow and rain. I saw the snow level was dropping to 1200ft. Hopefully sunny days ahead after this stint.
