    Savage 110 Storm Lightweight

    Main reason they still shoot alright even with a right barrel (most have bad tooling marks in then) is because is their floating bolt head design. It works, might not but be the strongest thing out there but it works. As far as a savage being a reliable rifle when you are in the mountains, no...

    Savage 110 Storm Lightweight

    Don't waste your money on a POS savage. Use a Tikka, Kimber, or model 7. In an appropriate caliber. No 280ai or anything bigger. Light recoiling calibers like creedmoor, 708 or 308 will be best. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

    Tikka with Carbon barrel vs CA Ridgeline

    It definitely can be a big deal. Believe me. Yes, there are monkey ways to fix it but a prefit will never beat the quality of a skilled Smith fitting the barrel to the action. We have built lots and have fixed many problems. [emoji6] Just speaking from experience. Sent from my Pixel 3 using...

    Tikka with Carbon barrel vs CA Ridgeline

    Correct. "Head spacing tools" are not The correct way to fix them either. A skilled gunsmith with a lathe is the best. For a barrel blank, no chamber of threads, we charge 300 CAN to install the barrel. $300 gets you better tolerances as the barrel is fit to your action. Not threaded with a...

    Christensen titanium brake

    Use the crush washer. You can fit it by removing material off the back of the crush washer to time the brake correctly. Otherwise, you need a lathe. The crush washer is ideal because the threads will stretch out when you remove the brake over and over for cleaning, bringing the brake out of...

    Tikka with Carbon barrel vs CA Ridgeline

    I would personally advise against that. Just my opinion. If you do have any headspace issues, you won't be able to fix it yourself. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

    Tikka with Carbon barrel vs CA Ridgeline

    They really truly are not better in any sense for a hunting rifle Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

    Tikka with Carbon barrel vs CA Ridgeline

    Also, since the shank on a proof carbon barrel is 1.2" it'll be almost the same OD as the Tikka action. Just something to know. Also, the carbon barrel will not shoot twice as good as the steel barrel will, generally. Carbon barrels do not possess many advantages over a steel barrel other...

    Tikka with Carbon barrel vs CA Ridgeline

    Christensen Arms QC has gone steeply downhill the last year. Tikka's QC and accuracy has been repeatedly successful time and time again. Just because the stock is plastic, doesn't mean it's bad. The stock is engineered for the action (CA stock is not). Personally, I'd go with the Tikka...

    What is this? Any concerns?

    It is normal, see it all the time. ELDX in the 30 cal can be oversized a bit. Also, I didn't say it wasn't a sign of pressure. I had recommended he check his speed as it will tell you all you need to know. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
