@406LIFE thanks for the insight. I’ll try that. I have only seen them for $200 + or less but real rough shape. Hoping to stumble on one since they seem to contain a lot of knowledge.
Looking for $150 +shipping (located south of Denver for local pickup). Bought these used and I unfortunately need to size up. Good shape, some wear from use but nothing major. Soles look brand new. Inserts do have some wear on the heel as shown in the pics.
They could use some new laces and...
I’m a fan of tikka also (although I have not shot an x bolt). I would either rebarrel if you don’t mind loosing the 6.5 or get another xbolt. Good news about the same rifle is that you have more practice with the same form (at least that’s what I tell myself). My FIL got a browning a bolt in...
Probably a long shot but does anyone have a copy of either of these books they are willing to sell for a decent price? I have seen them for sale but extremely high prices since they are no longer printed.
Hoping to read up and keep learning but no luck finding these. Thanks!
Steve recommended to me recently either 131 hh or 120 hh for the 7mag 1:9.5 twist. If shooting under 500 he said 120hh at around 3650fps would work for elk and below. They do have the 146hh that work in 1:10 if you want a bit heavier. Have not shot them yet so can’t comment on that.
That’s what I was concerned about, I have had a pair of diamondbacks for a while with no issues and thought I’d try the scope also, potentially rangefinder. Chances are it’s probably ok but would hate to have a scope fail when I needed it.
Based on the comments it sounds like it might be worth...
Im not 100% on where I will be hunting outside the fact I am in Colorado, plan to use it for ek and mule deer and some pronghorn in Wyoming. Would also like to be able to shoot paper out to 600-700 eventually. Hoping to make this my do it all rifle.
Wondering if I am the only one overthinking rifle scope options. I have a Tikka T3x lite in 7 mag and bought a vortex viper hs 4x16 for it. Had to warranty the scope brand new and before attaching it I started second guessing what to put on the rifle. Options are:
Vortex viper hs 4x16 at 18...
Used the kitchen aid attachment for a few years. Worked well to grind and stuff sausages but only for small quantities. The mixer also seemed to heat up and was concerned it would break over time. Just bought a .5hp from MEAT but have not had a chance to use it yet but I am sure it will be...
