If I could build the "Ideal" scout rifle for myself, It would be a 9.3x62 with a 20" barrel. Thats just my take on it if I am going to use it for my "go to" rifle. I have two 9.3'x62's with longer barrels and really like the cartridge in general, especially for anything under 200 yards. I would...

This is just my opinion, but I think that under the current president, we are going to be good for a while. I think that the panic buying during the election made parts and complete rifles scarce and therefore more expensive due to demand and people willing to pay for them. I can't give you a...

I think that it may also need an adjustable gas block, at least according to the Nosler article I read in American Rifleman.

I agree with ExAgoradzo, I like the 416 Rem Mag over a 458. The 416 RM is certainly nothing to sneeze at and is great Nyati medicine.

If that is your dream rifle, by all means purchase it and set it up accordingly. Life is too short to be unhappy when the goal is attainable. Buy it, shoot it and enjoy.

I too have a MOA trigger on my safari express, no problems and breaks cleanly, never adjusted it, left it as it came from the factory.

I would have shot all three and threw them on a grill, at the very least the sow. You did the right thing castrating the boars since you decided to turn them loose, though I would never turn any hog loose back into the wild. To each their own.

I am a police sergeant and this makes me irate!! It seems to me like the officers over stepped their bounds and are on the verge of civil rights violations by searching the vehicle without PC other than believing that he he was armed. I am very pro second amendment and pro carry for licensed...

I was able to "guess" lucky twice. Those guys are doing everything right and very concealed with their set ups.

Brother, I think that we all have had a few bad range days. Sadly its a "rare" day when I go out and everything goes perfect. I have to avoid the coffee before I go to the range.

I have a Tikka T3 hunter that I have been extremely happy with, shoots great.

The 1/11 twist is generally for the 6.8spc, which is the same diameter as a .270 win and they do make 6.8spc barrels.

From what I am reading on other sites, its not too great. I can't say first hand as I have not handled one.

I voted "other" for the M14 or the commercial version M1A, love them!

I have several Tikkas, two T3's and a M695. I am a huge fan of Tikka and have been extremely pleased with them.
