    DIY Tikka Barrel Swap, By Dioni Amuchastegui

    I had all kinds of issues with all of the usual recommendations. It was ultimately leather that worked for me.

    DIY Tikka Barrel Swap, By Dioni Amuchastegui

    Interesting the leather didn't work for you. I tried rosin, brown sugar, cardboard, etc... It was only when I cut up a crappy old pair of leather gloves that I finally got my barrel off. I also used the viper vise, as in the write-up, and the wheeler wrench (awesome tool and helpful customer...

    WTS Warne Maxima 30mm Tikka Medium rings

    Used one range day and never hunted, but there is a paint chip as seen in the picture. 30 bucks plus actual shipping with method of your choice.

    WTS Sig Sierra3BDX 6.5-20x52mm

    Effectively brand new. Used for one range day. I love the scope and the electronic wizardry, but was too green to realize 6.5x is far too high a minimum zoom for my application. In states that allow pairing with the rangefinder, this would be all kinds of fun. I actually didn't buy it for that...

    Muzzle brake - worth it?

    Maybe it's just me, but I actually like my brake better on lower recoil cartridges. On my 6.5cm a brake means it is truly capable of spotting shots, easily. On my lighter 300wm, I'm gonna get rocked either way, so why bother with the brake...

    Tikka pre fit torque?

    I went with 90 on my proof 300wm pre-fit after quite an extensive forum search and series of emails and phone calls.

    Tikka T3X Superlite: Questions on 300 Win Mag vs. 30-06

    Are you going to add a bunch of parts? Stock, barrel, brake? If so, 300 win mag is fine. I was really worried about the recoil, but I put 3 boxes through it on day one and while it's definitely not my 6.5CM with a varmint barrel, it's plenty liveable with and without the muzzle brake. I went...

    Unfollowing Hunting Social Media Will Make Hunting Better: Matt Rinella Essay

    Matt sounds a bit on edge over this topic whereas Steve comes off with a bit more equanimity. I read a good portion of the article and have listened to 20 minutes of their debate. I have to say I'm still not exactly sure what Matt's point is. He seems to be most upset about crowding? I've...

    AG Composite Gen 2 Tikka Stock Review

    Just to be clear, are you saying 7SAUM in an aftermarket stock has better recoil than a 300wm in the factory stock? Or do you have an apples to apples experience with the latter? Only asking because I didn't even shoot my 300wm Tikka before replacing everything and adding a brake. I'll remain...

    Build or Tikka Veil in 300 Win Mag?

    Since you mentioned barrel twist, and since I've seen a few fairly recent references to Tikka's twist, I'll just throw out there that Tikka is now 1:10 as well. Other than that, I'll let you know how mine shoots as I just built almost the exact same gun, but with an Iota Eko stock. Haven't had...

    I use neoprene scope shields, so yeah. But even so, I'm probably going to swap out to taller rings. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk
