Re: My new toy!

Most of what I have read has come off the internet so you have to take it with a grain of salt.

Re: Tikka T3 Varmint to Custom

I will leave the barrel recommendations up to others, but if I were to recommend a stock it would be a GRS. I have a Decima Sportster and love it.

Looks like a serious tack driver with a lot of fun times ahead. But of all the 6.5 calibers, why a 6.5 Creedmoor; just curious. Its a good question. Mostly because I have played around with one before and really liked it. The Norma 6.5 looks like it would be a little harder on barrels. I have no re...

Re: My new toy!

Its a 26" barrel from a barrel maker in Saskatchewan. 1-8 Twist. The Remington 700 action was totally worked over. The barrel is glass bedded in the GRS stock. I love the stock! Its got a Vortex Viper PST 6x24x50. I'm still waiting for my die's for it. I sighted it in on factory ammo. My final ...

Re: What happened? Is nothing accurate anymore?

Well when you can't hit anything with that new Cooper send it on up to me :) They are next to impossible to get in this country.

Merry Christmas

Nice! My .308 likes CFE223, but my .204 hates it.

Re: Berger 35gr. and H322~help!

35gr bergers shoot the best of any bullet in my Tikka. I am using Benchmark powder though. Nice one hole five shot groups. The H322 has worked well for me with 26gr Barnes.
