Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting T3 243 with 2 jobs: How to get there?

I use boots for the comparison...................seems more believable and less creepy.

You sound like the perfect candidate for a Tikka rifle........

...or you shop at Goodwill

Okay then. I got underwear older than your mom's boots..........

David, worked the bolt of a RAR at my LGS a week ago. Stock felt awkward - trigger OEM setting - heavy. Perhaps the bolt needed lube and some breaking in.

Heard good reports on accuracy but for me the T3 is worth a little more.

As to price/value. Many get outstanding accuracy w T3s. I ask, how much is the average cost of a top custom barrel job? $500-800+ ?

Just my view

2muchgun, do you even shoot? Bring some of your safe queens out west so I can watch you miss everything past 200 yards.

Here is a pic of Tikka's "tiny" lug:

Knowing how long my mom's had some of her boots, you're WAY overdue for some new drawers!

Yup. I only have one but it shoots lights out with every bullet I've tried in it.

rc, I sell my used underwear to goodwill, and I heard you've been buying 'em to clean your scopes with. I hope you told the guys at Leupold CS, that'll void the warranty. No pun intended.

I have never taken my Tikka out of the stock.

My mom won't talk to me.

That is all.

Laffin..... kinda funny how you want answers..... but have still failed to provide any. Or, are you ACTUALLY done with this thread.... again.... for the third time.... cause you don't have anything worth saying.... but you gotta have the last word.

Help is here for you. Not me, but somebody will talk to you about it. Hang in there buddy.

Tanner

The Tikka issue, and the Mom issue arent inter-related.

Sweet thread direction.

From 243 talk to Tikka's merits. Or lack of.

Nice work.

Thanks to those with legit input.

No. I just collect powder and bullets and 100s of guns to go with them. And post pics of dead things regularly.



I'll tell you what. I will be in Colorado next year. NO BS. Let me know how much money you have to lose, and I'll drive to you.

It'll be fun. Last time I shot for money, I tied Karl Feldkamp in a 600 yd egg shoot. We split the pot.

I was shooting this lil old 308 that George Gardner built me:


IIRC Eddie Fosnaugh and I tied for 3rd place that day in the target shooting. Karl came in 2nd and a guy name Tony H. who works for Trijicon took 1st. I also printed some 5 shot 1.25" 500yd groups during competition. Twice. I believe our own Superseal110 and Shotgun4fur witnessed those personally, also. Feel free to ask any of them.

I have NEVER, EVER felt the need to brag of my shooting abilities, or make wild claims, or post "internet groups". Or challenge folks to shooting matches. It's just dumb. Just not my style, and most here who actually know me, know I don't need to prove anything to anyone. But if you wish to talk down to me, or question if I even shoot or not, which is ludicrous, well I can show you first hand when I come visit my brother. I will make a one time exception for you only. Providing you make it worth my while, of course. I'll have a fistfull of cash, rest assured.

So are you in?

It'll be great. You will be laffin' your a$$ off when I miss everything beyond 200 yds.....

My apologies. I tried to bow out. Problem is, when confronted with the facts of the rifles, most Tikka owners tend to get their panties in a wad.

Except Travis. He actually gets it and has the right idea. And a firm grasp of what the Tikka is and isn't.

And I truly am done helping to sidetrack your thread now. And very uninterested in typing more of Tikkas, as well. Again, sorry.

Dogcatcher, I will await your PM and we can make arrangements....

I don't give 2 $hits about what 2 rifles he should build. How much they cost and what the performance gain would be. And I don't recall him asking that question either. WTF? As long as they aren't Tikkas or A-borts they can't be that bad.

The Tikka is a lightweight hunting rifle. I guess he should build a heavier bench gun of some sort if he want to play around LR from the bench.

Now please refrain from the questions. I mean wtf is your point? Really........

2muchgun, you said above that you've never felt the need to brag. But that's about the fourth time I've seen that pic of the 1 lb cans of powder, and you seem to get into multiple simultaneous pissing contests on different forums. You seem very confrontational. Give it a break.

I just found it kinda hard for someone to question if I shoot or not given the pic. But also don't consider it bragging. It's just a pic of some components. Just a bit of evidnce that I do tend to touch off a round once in a while, that's all......

2muchgun, I don't date men I meet on the internet.

PS, would be more impressed if those bullet boxes and powder cans were empty. You should be on the show Hoarders.

That's what I thought. All talk........
