    Learned something today about suppressors.

    Bought a well used (800 rounds) Tikka T3 223 1/8 last week. It came with a muzzle-forward Dpt suppressor that the seller described as “free” because it was “not suited for long range work”. I started...

    You should be fine with the one peice rings but it might be affected by the action length. I know it will fit on a magnum, - could be different on a shorter action.

    Sorry to highjack the thread (a little). I understand that the high BC projectiles extend the range of short barrelled rifles but how do they perform for the 50-150 yard shots that tend to be the...

    Ive not had a zeiss 1-4, but had a kahles 1-4 and found the x4 end of the zoom a little underwhelming (in terms of magnification) given the size and bulk of the scope. A light weight compact 1-4 is...

    Not much point going below 2-ish power if you have a supressor as it blocks out much of the view at full-wide. I really like the look and balance of straight tube scopes such as the vx-r 1.25-4 and...

    I have found that winding the Tikka trigger adjustment screw into the heaviest setting, leaving it there for a while, and then winding out to the lightest setting seems to make it lighter.
