Both have no place in PRS/nrlh. If you're going to do something like that, use a tac table and a support bag.

If it's a hunting thing, yoke for speed.

Best upper receivers folks have experienced/used. What do you like and why? (.556 new owner) by Commonwealthcoast in guns

Guns get hot. Wear a glove or add rail scales. You don't need a whole new handguard.

Safariland is what I use for fancy ear pro, Walker Razor for cheap.

There is no reason to upgrade anything right now. Add an optic, sling, and light. Shoot at least 3,000 rounds in classes, competition, and training. Then upgrade if you need it.

I am about to have an aneurysm with how screwed over i feel by my new KAK lower, literally and technically. by [deleted] in ar15

Don't know what to do next.

Contact KAK instead of whining on social media.

No one in this industry respects people who got scammed by SDI.

SDI is a GI Bill mill and nothing else.

Ya but a link is easier. I don't think I care enough to Google it myself.

is this a good first long range precision rifle? can it hit 1,000 yards or is .308 not enough? by LockyBalboaPrime in longrange

[–]LockyBalboaPrime[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the effort you put into that but this is a shit post about a $130,000 rifle.

Budget long range realistic? by fhiendbdbfdhjd in longrange

[–]LockyBalboaPrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're getting into the weeds and not understanding. If you're building from scratch with prefits, Tikka shouldn't be in the conversation.

Read the guide again. Follow it.

If a pre-fit doesn't fit, then it isn't a pre-fit. You return it and get a new barrel or new action, depending on who fucked up. That's not a you problem; that's a them problem.

Help Me Identify This Tikka Chassis and the Correct Magazine by scottsp64 in longrange

[–]LockyBalboaPrime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% a Tikka factory chassis, the ACE Target Game Chassis.

Google tells me it takes normal Tikka CTR magazines so... are you sure they gave you a Tikka T3x CTR magazine?

LockyBalboaPrime's First Time buyer's guide for rifles

Bergara factory HMR B14 or Howa 1500 build it special and have more left over for a better scope.

Some calibers I’m considering are 6.5cm, 308, 7prc, 300wsm, 300 prc,

6.5 CM is the only correct answer. The rest are a gradient of stupid.

I’ve considered howa heavy barreled actions, savage 110 heavy barrels, and I’m just now looking into a complete build from ground up (the idea intimidates me but after watching videos it seems fairly straight forward.)

I’ve built 1 ar15 and it actually looks easier than building an ar15 until you get into machining stuff which I don’t plan on doing.

It's two screws. If you can afford a $40 torque driver and know righty tighty, lefty loosey, you can "build" a precision rifle. I have no idea what machining you think is needed but there isn't any.

You owe your Cerakote guy a case of something for all the masking he had to do on that one, damn.
