    Time for a new rifle?

    I think you would be perfectly satisfied with the performance of either cartridge. My 300 win mag is a pleasure to shoot without a brake. I am not one that desires too much of a good thing. I think one of the concerns with the big 30s these days is getting a barrel with a fast enough twist rate...

    New ultralight rifle

    A T3x lite in SS is a tough go anywhere rifle. With a light rifle, might as well get ia pleasant to shoot cartridge like 7mm-08, .308, 270 win. Get something that has a good trigger and shoots straight. My T3 in .270 Win has done it all and I have never missed with it... one shot and down. A 22...

    How many of you hunt with a muzzle brake?

    I don’t want to hijack OPs thread, but quite a few ailments don’t show up or aren’t detected until years after service. In fact it is more than common. But when that happens a vet needs to show nexus to get service connected. However, you never know what service med recs they have before them...

    VA disability compensation doesn’t have anything to do with healthcare other than the fact that your rating determines how much care you can receive without a co-pay.

    How many of you hunt with a muzzle brake?

    http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2019/11/the-mother-of-all-muzzle-brake-tests-prbs-epic-research/ I would go through this research before purchasing a muzzle break. I found it enlightening. Once again some brakes are great at eliminating felt recoil but the blast is directed toward the...

    How many of you hunt with a muzzle brake?

    If you are a veteran and try to get service connected for tinnitus don’t tell them that you shoot with a muzzle brake. They will all laugh at you! They denied me just because I told them that I hunted.

    How many of you hunt with a muzzle brake?

    The problem isn’t the tool...it is the people improperly using the tool. In some places in Europe suppressors have became mandatory to reduce blast noise in populated areas. I wouldn’t want suppressors to be mandatory here. People don’t understand the technology yet they want it. A well...

    How many of you hunt with a muzzle brake?

    I have had it with selfish, careless idiots who think they can do whatever comes to their feeble minds. Endanger others around you and you will suffer consequences. You spout off because no one has called you out on your BS.

    How many of you hunt with a muzzle brake?

    I think coming up with ideas about restricting the use of is more workable than outright banning them. Give those shooters specific times during certain days when muzzle brakes can be used. Another option is considering moving a number of benches a proper distance away and putting up a sound...

    Should I dump my oem plastic Savage 16 stock? (and what should I replace it with?)

    I would shoot it to get a handle on the group size and see how it performs out at 500 yds. Eliminate any possible scope issues. Get a trigger that breaks under 2.5 lbs. You could try bedding the stock. There can be torsion issues on certain cheap factory stocks with a magnum that can affect...

    How many of you hunt with a muzzle brake?

    Since you don’t know how to read...I was suggesting that the inconsiderate idiots go out and buy their own land. There they can do their own thing instead of bothering the rest of us on a public range with their stupid bullshit.

    How many of you hunt with a muzzle brake?

    Throw brass in my face and you won’t be on your feet very long. I am tired of putting up with other people’s stupid and inconsiderate behavior. Buy your own land and then you can do whatever it is you want to do.

    How many of you hunt with a muzzle brake?

    I think they should be outlawed on hunting rifles. At the range the other day when someone had one on his 7 mm mag....on the bench next to me! I wear good hearing and eye protection and the shit was flying everywhere...A blast wave on the side of your face absolutely, positively sucks! Hunt...

    Learning to build a rifle

    The “remage” is the old way of doing things. Barrel makers can match the tenon threads for quite a few different actions these days. Some action makers like ARC have come up with quick change barrel systems for bolt guns. The barrel nut is still a good concept for head-spacing, but no longer...

    Learning to build a rifle

    Viking has some good suggestions. Start out with something small to upgrade a firearm that you may already have if you can. Pull that puppy apart. The whole idea is so you can figure out the relationship between the stock, barreled action, trigger assembly, and bottom metal. I don’t have a safe...

    Tikka T3x lite vs Bergara B-14 Wilderness Hunter

    Tikka has designed vibration dampening into their newer stocks. They also redesigned the recoil pad. I didn’t see a big difference between the recoil pad on T3 and the newer T3X pad so I replaced T3X with a Limbsaver recoil pad before I shot it. I also added a a Triad Stock pack with a 3/4”...
