    Howa Superlite 308win Field Evaluation

    I’m looking forward to getting back to hearing about how the rifle performs when Form gets the replacement.

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    I’m no fan of 700s. But if someone starts with a 223 in appropriate twist with good bullet selection and shoots it enough, they are showing good decision making skills and are bound to come around to better and safer actions eventually.

    Support for 6.8 western?

    It is interesting that Browning has already included the 7 PRC for their X-bolt line.

    The 22 creedmoor thread

    I appreciate the fact that DRT posts these numbers, but it’s always good to confirm with outside sources.

    Howa Superlite 308win Field Evaluation

    No one has a 0% error rate. Everypne makes mistakes. When a company makes a mistake like this, we should give them the chance to make it right before we start crucifying them. All of this discussion of ensuring that review guns are perfect before they go out is not helpful. The goal of these...

    The 22 creedmoor thread

    Have you figured out what velocity that bullet needs to open yet? I’ll bet it’s a long way out there with that gun.

    What to do with a pre war Model 70 Winchester

    That gun and scope combo is probably worth around $2000-2500. It’s a piece of history. If you don’t want to use it and love it as is, pass it on to someone who will appreciate it.

    Tikka trigger.. how light is too light?

    Agreed, I’ve never had a need for a replacement spring on a Tikka. They have great triggers.

    Tikka trigger.. how light is too light?

    I like to keep mine in the 2# range or slightly above that. Below that is nice in optimal conditions, but can be sketchy in cold weather and higher stress situations.

    Kids rifle manifesto

    And buy a suppressor. Makes a huge difference. Recoil is a thing for kids, but so is muzzle blast. A suppressed 223 bolt gun is about the most fun rifle combo there is.

    Howa Superlite 308win Field Evaluation

    This made me pull my 1500 short action out of the safe to try to replicate this. I ran the bolt as hard as I could 40 times and did not get a single case where the trigger malfunctioned. Can’t say that I ran it that near hard during break-in, but it’s not something I’ve ever noticed with a...

    Howa Superlite 308win Field Evaluation

    @Formidilosus They didn’t get the memo that they were supposed to provide you with an 8-twist, 223 or 22 ARC, carbon-stocked mini action that you could use to kill brown bears and dinosaurs. Howa’s marketing department whiffed on that one. Hard. Serious missed opportunity.

    New Tikka t3x- how many break in shots?

    Not saying what you are experiencing isn’t a real thing, but it’s hard to know if it’s real without more data. If you haven’t read the ‘your groups are too small’ thread and listened to that episode of the Hornady podcast, I’d recommend you start there. It’s possible you may find that all those...

    New Tikka t3x- how many break in shots?

    I apologize. I obviously missed that. Can I start referring to you as “c”, after the constant in Einstein’s relativity equation?

    Outside of your three round group? Which one?

    New Tikka t3x- how many break in shots?

    I have not seen any major changes in accuracy over three new Tikkas in the last five years, but I don’t do 3 shot groups either. Anything you see from those is most likely your brain trying to make a pattern out of random chance.

    Your choice of cartrige for Thermal Rifle

    If you just want a different cartridge, that’s also fair. I have started to get over that affliction and have realized that it just adds unnecessary complication to my life. I find that I shoot more and shoot better with less complication.
