    nxs 2.5-10 sako 85 short action

    I have a Sako 85 Carbonlight short action 6.5. With Optiliocks (the ones with bases) not the ringmounts I can't get the scope back far enough. I have an NXS 2.5-10x42. Just replaced it with a Tangent Theta TT 315m. I had the front base flush with the Ejection port. Ringmounts may buy you...

    Is ammo availability gonna affect your hunting season?

    Me too. Have a sweet 7Saum rifle sitting here with no ammo. Back to my old Tikka which I have a few boxes of '06 left. Just ordered a hunting rifle today in 6.5 creedmoor because I was on optics planet and somehow got 12 boxes of Berger 135 gr classic hunters. I thought it was a mistake but...

    First Backcountry Long Range Build

    I would do the Sportsmatch over the Hawkins too based on the recoil pin and the fact that they use the integrated tikka rail. I like Hawkins and have a pair of Pinned hybrids on a 700 clone. But for a tikka I can't see not using the built in rail and lug unless you were using a pic rail to...

    First Backcountry Long Range Build

    I just put a spuhr mount on my Tikka. It's stupid expensive but wow is it nice. Has a recoil lug and mounts straight to the Tikka integrated rail with clamps. I'm sure the other rings do the same job for a fraction of the price but it's worth taking a look. Using the integrated rail and...

    new MDT HNT26 Chassis

    So this looks better than then XLR? I was about to order one of those but this now really has my interest. I hate having my fingers numb from the cold and holding a piece of alum or magnesium in freezing weather is holding me back.

    Who hunts with a 10lb+ rifle?

    My 6.5 weighs 11 pounds with a TT315m scope. My 7 Saum weighs 10 pounds with a TT315m scope and Proof Sendero CF barrel. I have a lightweight Tikka but I prefer a little more weight so haven't shot it in a long time. My backpacking days are over though so I'm day hiking or shooting off a UTV...

    Copper Creek Ammo

    I've done a few load packs with him. Developed a load for my 6.5. Basically you start with a standard seating depth and different load charges. Then on the second pack (if needed) you extend the seating depth out using the most accurate charge weight from the first pack. I have a pretty...

    nightforce nxs 2.5-10x42 which mil reticle?

    Lightening up a rifle and putting a compact nxs on it. Anyone have experience with the Mil dot vs Milr reticle? I'd take the Mildot for sure but worried it only has 1 mil spacing vs .5 mil spacing. Going on a 30-06 Tikka for pig hunting.

    T3x vs xbolt

    I have both too. Prefer the Tikka by a longshot. Tikka trigger makes all the difference. Plus tons of aftermarket products if that's your thing.

    Upgraded Tikkas

    For me it was the build quality and extra 8 oz of weight. My rifle shot worse with it (YMMV). The tikka T3 inletted BC uses an aluminum bedding block. It just looks done on the cheap to me. When you hold a BC stock next to a manners stock or a mcmillan edge fill you can tell right away the...

    Upgraded Tikkas

    Do not buy the BC Medalist. Adds 1/2 pound and is inferior to the factory stock in every way. I'd go with the Manners all day. Not even comparable. High desert bottom metal or mountain tactical and factory stock is pretty much all that's necessary though.

    Tikka t3x lite stock modifications

    I put my Tikka t3 30-06 in a bell and carlson stock and it shot about the same as the factory. When using a bipod however it significantly changed the POI using the BC stock. Groups were all over the place due to the flimsy forend. Also on the BC stock the sling swivel broke off when using the...

    Tangent Theta TT315M

    I haven't had a chance to use it yet. It's mounted on a new Rbros 7Saum but I bulged a disc in my neck and haven't been able to get out. I love the reticle though. The only thing I'm not super happy about is how hard the zoom is to adjust. Maybe it will break in with time.
