This is kind of where I’m at also, I really want a RS1.2 but at the same time I want something with a longer track record. I do think the Maven is a solid scope, the reticle is awesome from the few minutes I spent looking through it but in the end I I may just end up with an NXS 3-15. Even...
A 300 wm in a tikka is not that fun to shoot. It takes a lot of concentration on form and trigger press. That’s my guess on the less than ideal groups. It could also be the ammo. Mine likes Barnes, Hornady precision hunter and cheap corelokt. A brake helps tremendously, mine is so much easier to...
Thanks for posting, I’m dialing in my gear now for a hunt this August. I think I have everything pretty well set but ordered that glassing pad just now. I may go with some different trekking poles than I have and the tricer tripod but other than those I think I’m good.
Another one wondering why not a Tikka? It may not have the sexy look of a Christensen or a Weatherby, but it'll run and shoot better than those by quite a bit from my experience. I have a Christensen in 6.5 prc and while it does shoot really good, it doesn't shoot any better than the Tikka 6.5...
I just did a quick search at Sportsmans, and I stand corrected. Theres 10 different loads of 7-08 and 7 for the 6 Creed. That hasnt been the case for the last year at least. I had a hell of a time finding 7-08 ammo since the scandimic and was easily finding ammo for the Creed. I'm still gonna...
I’ve got a 6.5 prc, had a tikka in 6.5 prc that I regret selling and I’m in the middle of building a semi custom tikka prc. It’s definitely got more recoil than either of the creedmoor’s but with a brake on it it’s very manageable. That said I still like shooting my Ruger 6 creedmoor the most...
I had an evil little sucker that I couldn't catch for a while. I had regular snap traps out and glue, it would eat the bait off the traps. I got more glue traps and put on rubber gloves to set them out to keep any human scent off the trap and I had that bastard in 5 minutes after setting them...
