    Cape Buffalo Packing Some Lead

    No experience with buffalo but been put over and under fences at calving time with beef cows…adding the size and wild factors in makes it a spot I don’t want to be. The fastest I’ve had to retreat was from a baby badger…5 pounds of pure mean

    Reloading supplies Storage

    Thanks, that had crossed my mind as a problem!! I’m looking at a reusable canister to have in the cabinet but humidity hasn’t ever been too bad, never have tools rust in there

    Reloading supplies Storage

    That’s a really organized setup👍. I have a bench setup in a separate workshop that should work fine but doesn’t always have heat on so won’t work for components.

    Reloading supplies Storage

    That’s something I might look at. I’ve got a large wooden cupboard in the garage for storage and can add desiccant packs in there as well.

    Reloading supplies Storage

    Thanks for the replies, humidity doesn’t get too bad in the summer. Usually have a fan going, good to know about bottom shelf. I snuck in the conversion to Fahrenheit…. I’m a bit north of you guys but I remember some comments about our metric system from another thread!🤣

    Reloading supplies Storage

    I haven’t found a specific thread on storage so I’ll start a new one. I’m starting into reloading on my own soon and don’t have room in the house for keeping components. I have an attached garage that I keep at 46 degrees in the winter and probably gets up to 75 in the summer Is this too much...

    Tikka question

    The only thing with the 6cm is it can be a pain loading them in when the shoulder is in line or behind the feed lips.

    Tikka question

    I’ve been using the same L magazine for 7mm-08, 7RM, and now 6CM without any feed issues. So far hasn’t made a difference whether each cartridge is pushed right back or not.

    Optilock rings for Tikka

    Yep, I guess being part of the monarchy still won’t get you scope rings and suppressors!

    Optilock rings for Tikka

    I can’t find many specs or pictures of them, but do they have recoil pins? I definitely want something different than my current setup.

    Optilock rings for Tikka

    Thanks for the reply, I’ll probably just stick with the Talley’s I have and wait for the SM.

    Optilock rings for Tikka

    Terrible because of the sleeve? Or the single screw clamping on the dovetail vs. Sportsmatch 2 screws?

    Optilock rings for Tikka

    I’m sure it’s been mentioned before but I’m wondering about the Optilock dovetail rings for my Tikkas when they’re on sale? I’ve been waiting for Sportsmatch’s to be back in stock for quite a while and am in Canada so not sure how that works with UM rings. Are the optilocks similar quality?

    2003 Artic cat 500 auto advice

    I’ve got an 04 400 manual, so not really the same but same era. I love it that it’s simple to maintain and light. It’s got 2500 miles and just regular service

    New Barrel and Factory Ammo

    I like that idea, I had some concerns with taking the old barrel off with the prefit route. Seems like the way to go if I ever get the chance to shoot out a barrel

    New Barrel and Factory Ammo

    👍These are the answers I was looking for, I’m planning on a 24” 7.5 twist. Most likely a KS Arms barrel.

    New Barrel and Factory Ammo

    I’m looking at ordering a new 6mm CM barrel for my Tikka 7mm-08 and haven’t made up my mind yet on a prefit or getting a blank. I’m leaning towards a blank. I’m seeing a lot of the 108 eldm for sale around here and am wondering what some opinions are about buying the factory ammo ahead of time...
