trick my rifle...

Juglans regia

Normally I would agree, but maybe not this time. Not sure why. I do have a spectacular raw hunk of J. nigra right behind me at this moment.

I’d start with a $10 trigger spring swap.

These responses have been interesting. I would've guess way more people would have been singing the praises of suppressors. I know that would be closer to the 2k upgrade with threading+atf+suppressor. The reason I am probably surprised by this is my own bias of clicking on a suppressor thread instead of maybe a stock thread or something... But there are lot's of thing's I hadn't thought of on here. I appreciate all the responses.

Forget about the Gunwerks and shooting from a ridge half a mile away and that .30-06 Tikka will be hard to beat for an all around elk rifle. I also love the 3-9 VX2 as a hunting scope, but I realize I’m old fashioned.

I bought this rifle as an all purpose big game rifle years ago, and it has been hard to beat and came in under 1k... It's absolutely the combo I would suggest for someone with similar needs. I haven't had a single complaint or desire (besides the hard kick which that limbsaver helped with), and that I only really noticed at the range anyways. But it's done the trick from antelope to elk without an issue.
