    Howa VS Tikka

    Have both. Howa is robust action that is a great budget rifle. Not quite as smooth or accurate as the Tikka but is second best.

    New Howa Mini Action Floorplate

    I have the full size 1500 in .223 with a 9 twist and B&C stock. I’d gladly move that for an 8T .223 mini with flush bottom metal. Stainless of course.

    Model 70 classic stainless not grouping

    I have a 5 digit classic stainless in .270. It’s bone stock and groups are decent with holes usually touching @ 100 yards. That said, it’s bedded in what appears to be hot glue in the lug area of the cheap synthetic stock. Try that as quick cheap test and see if it tightens groups.

    Leverevolution with 223 77 TMK load?

    I had the same with the Lee PPM. I tried a Lyman Brass Smith powder measure and it’s been excellent.

    Factory, blueprinted, or custom rifle build?

    My last choice would be a blueprinted factory action. This is due to not being able to screw barrels on myself due to oversized barrel threads.

    What happens when a gun manufacturing company dies?

    Guns are hard commodities. Rarely do they break or wear out. If it is sentimental and you break something, I’m sure a gunsmith can fix it.

    Ruger Gen 2 American VS Tikka

    On average, I’ve found the European manufactured guns to feed/function better as well as provide better accuracy than the American made rifles. It comes at a cost in today’s world but after you’ve suffered crummy feeding, I’ll go more refined and pay the price.

    Left hand tikkas, does 223 rem exist?

    I have a lefty T3 in .223 I purchased from EuroOptic I purchased years ago. I bought it because it was advertised as a 1:8 twist. When I received it, it was a 1:10 twist. I still have it with and it shoots lights out. I wished it was a 1:8.

    Longevity of the 7mm-08?

    Ruger American Gen II is being offered in it. It’s not going anywhere.

    Ruger American Gen 2!!

    I don't think it's stainless steel. I believe it's a cerakote finish.

    Savage or Howa

    Have had different Savage 10 or 110s overs the years and have a Howa now. I'd take the Howa every day of the week over a Savage. With that said, the Howa isn't perfect but it is a solid one-piece bolt and a serviceable trigger.

    Lever gun advice wanted

    I have a Rossi 92 stainless .44 mag, Henry big boy .357 and the new Marlin Classic 1894 .44 mag. The Henry has them all beat on feeding and accuracy. The Rossi was a pleasant surprise being the cheapest and its ability to feed. The bore is larger and needs .432 cast to shoot well. The new Marlin...

    Buying one more rifle and struggling

    The PRC only makes sense over the Creedmoor if you have a longer barrel. Chopping a barrel on a PRC for a can won’t offer much over a 24” Creedmoor barrel.

    .223ai dies

    I'm using a set of plain old Lee .223AI dies. I use the collet most of the time but will full-length size about every 5th firing for piece of mind. My seater die is a Lee as well. It was all I could find years ago in stock. There are better out there but these have served me well...Low TIR...

    Neat little score

    You did well Logger Dan. No one should criticize what you received. It’s between you and your customer.

    6.5 C or 308?

    Have both and would choose .308 if elk is on the menu. Randy Newburg seems to be awfully successful with a .308.
