    tikka t3 25-06 accuracy

    I'll have to pick up some gamekings, I have heard they are easy to load for. How well do they hold up in the animals at 25-06 velocities?

    tikka t3 25-06 accuracy

    I'm starting to reload so component bullets are also an option although my skill will likely be the limiting factor in those.

    tikka t3 25-06 accuracy

    Looking at the rifle it seems like it’d had very few rounds through it before me or it was exceptionally cleaned. If I had to guess the guy who owned it first had the same problem and didn’t want to look any deeper. Factory loads I have tried were American whitetail 117, core lokt 120, federal...

    tikka t3 25-06 accuracy

    my fathers m77 in 25-06 is the same way, core lokt 120s 3/4 moa all day, I'd like to try some 100 grain options but are there any bonded ones available?

    tikka t3 25-06 accuracy

    That was one of fthe loads I'd tried as well as fully cleaning the barrel when I first got it. I wil try the recoil lug and screw torque and report back.

    tikka t3 25-06 accuracy

    Hello highroaders, i recently picked up a t3 in 25-06 with a vx3 4.5-14 for an absolute steal and have found the 117-120 class soft points (factory ammo) are only in the realm of 2-3 moa. Can work for a deer rifle but seems a little loose for how I've seen most tikkas shoot. Scope mounts and...

    Grendel shooters

    I’m not normally an sst fan but the 123 Grendel’s load seems optimized pretty dang well

    you have 1100 for a wood stocked rifle

    I have an older savage 110 in 270 that I’m in the process of rebarreling to a faster twist so that’d be too similar in my book

    you have 1100 for a wood stocked rifle

    primarily whitetails with the capability to score an elk of muley hunt with potentially a great deal of walking. I really like the tikkas but that 1 in 11 twist comes across as kind of wonky. Those with them how do they stabilize the 165 and 180 grain bullets?

    you have 1100 for a wood stocked rifle

    im looking to keep it on the lighter end and pair most likely with a leupold vx3 4.5-14x40

    you have 1100 for a wood stocked rifle

    I have been consolidating my collection of firearms for space as i move for dental school and am moving into 2 wood stocked hunting rifles to keep long term. I currently have a sauer 100 in 6.5creed with a razor lht 3-15x42 and want to pair it up with something most likely in 30-06 or something...

    1000 dollar scope

    I think the weight would be a positive. Glass old enough for everything I’m doing?

    1000 dollar scope

    How does the vx3 glass compare to the others?

    1000 dollar scope

    I’m also considering an upper end vx3 or viper hst or even a Swarovski v3 or 4 if those would perform to the expectation.

    1000 dollar scope

    I’m building a solid midrange hunting rig and I’ve started with a sauer 100 wood stocked 6.5 creed and have about $1000 to pair a good scope with it. I’ve been leaning toward a plain vx5 3-15 with cds. I’m comfortable shooting out to 500 if need be to hunt (I try to stay well within that) but...

    Howa 1500s and barrel break in

    For those out there that have howa 1500s, how has it broken in for you and how are you enjoying the rifle? They come with a pretty extensive barrel break in process they recommend, did you follow that or just go your own route? Did they get more accurate as you shot them? I just got one in 6.5...

    2022 Hunting Picture Thread.

    Here we go, after hunting a week and a half straight and seeing next to nothing in stands and "ambush" hunting, my father and I decided to jump some pond dams for ducks or geese. After about a half mile walk to this pond in the flint hills of Kansas we spotted some deer on an adjacent hill. In...
