    Scope rail bedding

    Iv bedded a rail. But now find it easier to use a clear two pot glue. In the same manner. No release agent and they come off fine.

    Tikka T3 vs T3X worth 200-250 extra???

    Well the t3x comes with alloy bolt shroud so you won't need to replace that. The scope mounting is the same. Well my t3 rail fits the t3x. The ejection port has made no difference for me. The mag has steel lips. But that doesn't make any difference for me either. The t3 mags fit, as I'm using...

    Need help picking a mount setup.

    Burris signature rings. The ones with the inserts. I like them. You can give the scope some moa even on a flat base. Or as well as a moa base. They don't mark the scope and don't need lapping.

    How do you: 1- range your target?, 2- aim your rifle?

    Yes. The link kindly posted. Add it to your phone. There are other apps that do the same thing, some even free. But I would guess the shooter brand is most popular.

    How do you: 1- range your target?, 2- aim your rifle?

    For me, I.... Laser range finder. Taking readings all around the target also to make sure it's about right, and not a slight rise in the ground in front of the target or something silly. Then I look at the shooter app for how much to dial. I usually just hold for wind, unless target shooting...

    What's the best advice you can give to help someone still learning?

    Shooting is just half the battle or fun. The best benefit or improvement to a rifle is handloading. The ability to tune a load to a rifle and the shooting time in doing so, will make the biggest difference. ( providing the rifle is sound in the way of bedding and a solid set up that doesn't...

    Belted Magnum Collet Resizing Die

    I have that die. I think it's the top where you can drop a case in to see if it needs sizing or not. My hornady brass sized with hornady full length die drop in no worries. So don't need doing. The magnum die squashes the brass down further than my hornady die. So iv never used it. Maybe I...

    7mm rem mag sugestions

    As it's said your twist rate limits you. For long range your going to need a fairly soft projectile to expand at low velocitys Maybe a 139 sst. 154 sst if they stabilise.

    Best "factory" LR Rifle

    The remington sendero might be an option you get a 26 inch long heavy barrel which seems to be hard to find in other brands. The rem is a good platform for the future as well. The only things you might do is related the trigger, bed it. And lap the bolt lugs. It's what I've done to mine and...

    Optimum barrel length and twist for 223?

    My standard tikka in .223 1:8 shoots 50gr up to 80gr with no problems. I will say it didn't seem to like 55gr though.
