He "helps" if you wanna duplicate his schit. But ask for help setting up a Savage 270 with a Vortex scope and see what happens.
Either way, pure entertainment....gets the click bait count up for the advertisers I'm sure. lol Luckily we have other great members here like yourself, so ignoring him is as easy as "1 click". Hint....

Either way, pure entertainment....gets the click bait count up for the advertisers I'm sure. This. ^^^ I try to read, decipher and learn from what he's saying. There is knowledge to be gleaned from his experience/posts. His delivery is crude, but so f'n what. I'm thick-skinned, my feelings don't get hurt easy, so I value his opinions. That said, I value a lot of the guy's advice that have him on ignore.....to each his own. On Page No. 1 of this thread, I predicted eight pages of hate, lol. We're on Page 10. As 16B said, "Either way, pure entertainment."

As far as Tikka's go Stick is dead on. They shoot and they are light but they look funny and there should be a short action. Wouldn't own one anyway. Stick ought to buy one and start working on customer service in his own way. Now that would be worth watching.

OK, we learned that Tikka's are too expensive, Remington's 700 design has too many issues to make it a great rifle and Ruger Americans with the after market magazine are da bomb. Someone tell me about the Ruger 77 before it became known as the Hawkeye. Where do they fit in, are they worth the money and what is the current value of one in .223 with very few rounds and the synthetic stock. If it was talked about I didn't see it. If Big Stick wants to jump in and give an answer I'll read but I'm open to input.

kwg A Ruger M77 is worth the money and a .223 in a synthetic stock (just my SWAG) is worth about $500 +/-.

I find Burns to be a slight notch above the AK gnome in the pallatability department. A little of him goes a long, long ways. I just ignore the thread killer, especially since he's been let out of his cellar.
I've always wondered how being a perpetual PITA bodes well for the company you own, work for, or whatever Burns does when you're trying to sell the hunting public something. Has really nice hair though! Ha! Bet he carries a comb for pictures.

The Ruger M77 Hawkeye is one of the best feeling/handling rifles I've ever hunted.

Probably have to get used to the panty raids. Big boy has a Tikka. DBM'ed it as I recall. It's OK to do that to any other rifle though. Tikka mags suck with 75's. So does a 700 ADL unless you monkey with the spacer in the mag box. Then the sucky trigger that takes 2 seconds to adjust. Oh, then the "ergos" because it's hard to fit that big noggin behind the stock. Speaking of the stock, it sucks too, don't forget. And the loooong action which sucks all the soul out of it, almost making it inoperable and waaay to heavy.

kwg A Ruger M77 is worth the money and a .223 in a synthetic stock (just my SWAG) is worth about $500 +/-. In 2014 I bought a used Ruger MKII .223 for $475 at Cabelas. Stainless/laminate. Thought if the barrel was shot out I'd rebarrel to a faster twist, but it shot bugholes with 40g bullets. If I need more than 40g I've got options in .243, .257, 6.5 and up. Most of my bolt rifles are Ruger - M77, MKII and Hawkeye. All but one is a keeper.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

Yep, that long action is the suckiest After all, with the bolt stop it is as short a throw, as a short action. And the weight? A "short action" Tikka is soooo heavy for a normal prodduction gun. And the ability to change bolt stop and magazines to seat bullets out farther? Hell that's worthless, if you don't have to pay to get the action machined, then buy a special $300 aftermarket set up that uses $70 magazines. After them darn Tikky mags cost $50. And everyone can tell they are junk. (No one seems to break them though) Well a drunk ass, Alaskan retard, that willfully abuses his equipment, and molests young innocent virgin brass? He could break an anvil.

Ken, sorry but that’s not the case. Lil Fish might get a bit to far out over his skies at time on rifle stuff but the pictures are always welcome. I am glad I could get his posting privileges back and the new softer Lil Fish seems nice. ? ? ? ? ? Jerry
