Suppressor
No hands on experience and they look really nice but for Thunder Beast $$ I personally would have a hard time investing in an unknown brand. Their lightweight “hunting” can is not all that light. -

New rifle, barrel, or cut and thread existing
I think the most common recommendation is .1” barrel diameter over major thread diameter or .05” per side minimum. -

McMillan Mountain Tracker LR for Tikka
I haven’t held either of these but have seen some other Stocky’s stocks. They have been pretty nice especially for the price. The Peak 44 stocks look pretty good too. -

Basically the same as this. -

McMillan Mountain Tracker LR for Tikka
Their site makes it sound like it’s a lot of effort to make a Tikka version. I don’t have any skin in this game. I’m just letting people know that there is already a very similar option out there. -

New rifle, barrel, or cut and thread existing
No adapter. 5/8x24 threaded about twice as long as normal with a collar loctited in place for a shoulder. Maximum thread diameter is .625” and the barrel diameter before threading was .635 or slightly more. Works great without any tolerance stacking. -

New rifle, barrel, or cut and thread existing
Why the 20” minimum for a collar? My Tikka 300 WSM is threaded 5/8x24 with a collar at factory 24” length with no issues. -

McMillan Mountain Tracker LR for Tikka
True, but you’re not on a waiting list for something that may not happen. I don’t think UM was prepared for the amount of sales they would get, but I bet they figure it out before this other more expensive option even exists. -

Why not just go with Unknown Munition’s Rokstock for less $$? -

Vertical shot string
If you overlap most of those shots I bet you are within the rifles cone of fire. Pick one of those loads that you like the velocity of, load up 10-20, and see what it does. The stringing will probably look more like a circle.- ropeup79

Need advice on a tripod and head
The Innorel tripods get good reviews for the price. I wouldn’t be surprised if they make some of the higher priced brands, just rebadged. I have a Zomei aluminum one that works good for the price but if I upgrade to carbon fiber I’ll try one of the Innorels. -

300 wsm Ballistics help
Also need to have the elevation correct. Most calculators have sea level as the standard. Temperature and humidity can have an impact also. -

Ballistic Help
Your optics are always straight line of sight to the target. The barrel is angled up in relation to optics line of sight which sends the bullet through its arc.- ropeup79
