    TC Strike accuracy loads.

    I know I’m late to this party but... I have an LHR Redemption, which is the TC strike. It likes 100 gr. Blackhorn 209 by volume, with a harvester crush rib sabot, .452 for a .50 cal. I use either a Hornady xtp or sst in the 300 gr. version and a CCI or Winchester full strength 209 primer. LHR...

    Tract Toric 2-10x42

    Except it grew up better than its parents could ever hope to be! Yes it’s. T3x superlite, 7mm08. I’ve only fired a few test rounds so far with the 165 gr. GameChanger bullets, but it’s showing great promise and I love the trigger. It handles very good, just feels right, comes to the shoulder...

    Tract Toric 2-10x42

    Well I found a scope to my liking finally. At least at this point in my getting familiar with it I am liking it very much. Really the only con that I can come up with for me is the size/ weight being slightly over what I wanted for this Tikka superlite that I have it on. However once it was...

    New scope for my Tikka t3x superlight- Maven RS.2?

    Idk about brave, more like a glutton for punishment ! I have tried a few other brands in the past, namely Burris, Bushnell, Vortex & Sightron, now add Maven as well. Every time I judge them against my plain old boring Leupolds and so far I keep going back to Leupold. They may be plain & boring...

    New scope for my Tikka t3x superlight- Maven RS.2?

    I was the same way about Tract. Never heard of them until this recent quest to find a new scope. I do like their marketing in that I feel you do get more quality for your dollar with this format, at least in theory, but I felt it was true with the Maven. From all I can find about the Tract...

    New scope for my Tikka t3x superlight- Maven RS.2?

    Next up: I ordered a Tract Toric 2-10x42 so I can see what these are all about. I can’t wait to see how this one stacks up to the Maven. This is the one I ordered https://www.tractoptics.com/products/riflescopes/toric-2-10x42-t-plex

    Did a little Leupold CDS test

    I conducted a little informal tracking test of one of my Leupolds, a VX3 4.5-14x40 with CDS to get a better idea of the reliability of the dial to return to zero as well as dialing up for distant targets. I read a lot of forums and what not where folks are bagging on this system. I personally...

    New scope for my Tikka t3x superlight- Maven RS.2?

    Here is a pic thru the scope set on 10x and just me holding my phone cam up to the eye piece. As far as BDC type reticles go this one is better than most for me and I almost could make myself like it. The biggest problem for me was the fact that the lines and cross hair center section were very...

    New scope for my Tikka t3x superlight- Maven RS.2?

    Well, I went ahead and ordered the Maven RS.2 with a duplex reticle. But unfortunately what I got was the SHR reticle. On the box there are 3 different labels that specify the reticle, two of the three say SHR and one that's on top of the other two says Duplex? Go figure, anyway what actually...

    New scope for my Tikka t3x superlight- Maven RS.2?

    Feeling very much like the guinea pig on this one, so I ordered it last night. I spoke with and have emailed back and forth with the co owner who is also the sales pres. and he has me convinced to try it. Kind of cool when you call and one of the owners answers the phone. They have a 30 day...

    Maven RS.2 riflescope ?

    I posted in rifle country about this scope and no one has commented? Does anyone have experience with this scope? Looking for opinions on it. Seems like a great match up for a light weight Mtn rifle. https://shop.mavenbuilt.com/collections/stock-optics/products/rs-2

    New scope for my Tikka t3x superlight- Maven RS.2?

    I'm looking for some opinions on the Maven RS.2 rifle scope. I'm leaning heavily towards giving this one a try. I am also considering the Leupold VX3i in a 2.5-8x36 , I have one on my coyote hunting rifle and really like it. These are really the only two options that I like at this point so...

    Weatherby Vanguard Badlands

    A few years ago I got my daughter a Weatherby Vanguard in the GH2 pink spiderweb camo in 7mm-08. Very accurate, light weight with the youth model and 20” barrel. Recoil with full power loads is no problem for her since she was 13 years old and petite. We put a Leupold vx-ii 2-7x with Leupold Dot...

    Sierra Game Changer in 7mm-08

    So I guess I’m going to give this a try. I recently picked up a Tikka T3x Superlite in 7mm-08 and while I was at it I grabbed a long action magazine to make it so these long Game Changers will fit the mag. I still need to either modify the bolt stop or get the long action stop. With this setup I...

    Ode to the .270 Winchester...

    I bought mine when I was 16 yrs old, I’m now 46 so it’s been my go to rifle for 30 years and has always done well for me. I currently run 140 gr. Berger vld’s And they are 1/2 moa to 500 yards out of this cheapo Remington 700 ADL. I will say though, on bigger bull elk, I feel like I could use...

    What cartridge are you obsessed with this week?

    Ok, I got you now. Me personally I am without the action to start with so that opens it up. I know Ruger has the American in limited supply in .358 Win right now, but I'm not sure I like the American enough to go there. Other than that it is pretty much a custom build only game. Or I hear good...

    What cartridge are you obsessed with this week?

    I’ve been bouncing back and forth between the .358 Winchester and the .338-06! I want a heavy hitting close to medium range deer/elk rifle.

    Sierra Game Changer in 7mm-08

    Another question, has anyone had luck with bullet weights in the 160’s with a factory rifle with factory barrel lengths, twist and mag length? Specifically in the 7mm-08 .
