    That trigger being modified to single stage caught my attention. No.4s are a true 2-stage trigger where the first pressure takes away most of the sear engagement before the second stage lets it go....

    Good luck on pulling a Tikka barrel without very good gear. They are assembled without any anti-sieze lub and are notoriously hard to break the joint.

    PS. Using a big pipe wrench is cheating :)

    Surely that's a typo? With an SD of 5, the ES has got to be bigger than 7. You don't mean 17? That's assuming say 10 shots in the sample.

    I can confirm that, in fact I got three stitches recently to prove it. Barely touched my thumb but the teeth are surgically sharp.

    Haven't used 30 cal SSTs but I know that 139 7mms are very explody close up. Generally levels the beast but total jelly inside and a fair bit of unnecessary meat loss.

    If you're using TTSXs, I'd limit shots to 350yds max, more ideally 300yds. I've killed deer past that with them but expansion isn't that flash past 300. With my 16" bbl, the 120s are doing 2930.
