I was thinking 6.5S being that Tikka is Finnish and just across the narrow sea from Sweden. But like you mention, it seems the 7RM has the BC advantage on the 300, is less punishing etc. On the flipside, if I decided to get into reloading, the 300WM pills could be used for subsonic 300WTF or...

I had 2 .308s, and they just didn’t “do it” for me. I know that it is the second or third best selling round ever, but in reading about ballistics it seems to have many superior rounds. Dad has a .308 in a Saiga, and I still have an extra Savage .308 magazine in the safe. Just feel like to...

Been going back and forth, and for a while was convinced that the Grendel would be my next purchase. I sold an x39 upper, and I am looking to get another in carbine or pistol. Also wanting to get something for shooting farther, at steel plates and appropriate Texas sized game. Would like it to...

17hm2 only comes in 17 gr vmax. but you can get the aguila in 20s i am pretty sure. Most people who shoot it claim it is the ultimate squirrel round. it is accurate and flat shooting enough to get you out to 125 yards in an inch. If you want to know what the hm2 can take, check out this...

Do you want a 22 pistol, or do you want the same trigger and feel with cheaper shooting?

The 10/22 is the Rem 700 of the rimfire world. Good for the reciever. Throw the rest away, and buy better. Only reason I would buy another 10/22 is if it says Charger on it, and dump the hammer and barrel for a .17hm2 conversion with VQ upgrades.

Ok, that is what I had looked at. Was gonna do a YHM gas block too, but if cutting it is as easy as it seems, then the dremel will come out.

Acera, what 45 degree mount are you using on the bottom ar

arfcom made comments about the pins being only good for the front sight and barrel they came with, won't taking the FSB off cause problems?

would you guys suggest taking the sight off, or cutting while it is installed?

yeah, but with the red dot, do I need the lower magnification?

I want to use it for coyotes (2-7), but I have a feeling it may get used for paper punching and varmints(3-12). Hence the offset red dot thread here. I have some time, so I guess I will do some more thinking about it.

Walkalong, the top is 3-12, and the bottom is 2-7

Does anyone have experience with a circle dot and a mildot or crosshairs?
