Trades?

Did you take any selfies in front of the Christmas tree while you had it on? We need a YouTube video......

So Tanner has to shoot his groups while wearing a dress? That'd add insult to injury.

Who is going to be the big winner?

So has anyone ever wore a dress for Halloween?

Dogshooter,

I very much appreciate you not boneing my girl 😀 I'm starting to believe were going to be friends...lol

So your CTR shot better in the cold than your Custom. That doesn't surprise me.

As for 2" 500 yd groups we are going to find out in about 2 weeks when I finish this job and get home. There's a reason I'm going to use 4 rifles and shoot 4 different groups. It will be to try to demonstrate that it can be a common occurrence. I'm going to guess at least 2 rifles will group under 2" I'm hoping 3 might. If the stars align maybe all 4. Could be I don't get any. I'm only shooting groups one time and posting so whatever they are so be it. Stay tuned.

PS: All rifles are shelf rifles. One rifle will be fired with the scope on 4 power with a non AO scope.

2 rifles will be fired on 9 power with non AO scopes.

1 rifle has a SWFA 6X42

If at least 2 rifles print under 2" I will write an explanation as to what I believe the important contributing factors were. If I don't get any 2" groups I guess I won't splain anything

Chain smoking in anticipation for for your big day.....

I got an idea.

Shoot 4 groups per rifle. On the same page.

I got a better idea. I will shoot all 1 shot groups

Yes. Chico sloshfest....it was glorious, until it wasn't

If this all works out I will be selling get all my rifles and replacing them with Tikka's and 6x scopes.....

If this is going to be a gathering I'd like to drive over from Idaho for it. Better yet, if Pat would make it part of Icebreaker 2017...?

It's Tikka's only right? Since no other factory sporter is capable of such a feat.

I just reloaded for a friend that did a 26 nosler on a tikka with a 26" benchmark and it's a great rig , I loaded the new 135 gr classic hunters at it shoots .75" groups at 200 and 3" groups at 500 yards. Velocity is 3405 fps. I've thought about a 28 on a tikka now.

I've built quite a few, including my 3 F-TR competition rifles.

I believe I can be credited with the customizing of the action, whereas the front of the receiver if faced off square, and my custom designed recoil lug is installed between the receiver and barrel.

Here's one of them. I've been at it for awhile.

Wonder if a "Tikk-age" will ever be a thing?

It already is.

Try-Stan..... How's the shooting coming.....

I've never really "gotten" it. I spin barrels on and off of my actions all of the time. I don't even have to try to get the headspace correct because that was set properly when the barrel was fitted originally. I think people are being sold on something they don't really need.....and that damn nut is ugly, but that's just my opinion.
