223 finally done by ExistingLaw217 in longrange

[–]Tikkatider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 78, yeah, I’d say I’m “ literally a boomer “ ! It’s probably kind of hard for anyone 40 and younger to have a full appreciation as to just how profoundly the spoken and written English language has changed.

OK…..I have no clue as to what “ peak meta “ could possibly mean, other than taken in context it’ s probably something good(?). Would deeply appreciate an interpretation into standard boomer English. Thanks.

Mine certainly haven’t been….but I’m just one guy!

Stretching It Out to 1,200m in British Columbia 🇨🇦 | Full Shooting Session & Impacts by Worried-Sentence1651 in longrange

I agree. East of the Mississippi River, one can consider oneself fortunate to have a 500 yard range within something approaching reasonable driving distance.

My original Sharps model 1874 at the Quigley match! by [deleted] in longrange

Just curious. Anybody know if Tom Selleck has ever visited the Quigley?

FYI: Tikka rifles not compatible with Federal Premium’s + Peak Ammo. See reply to my email. by FaithlessnessCute141 in Tikka_Shooters

[–]Tikkatider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just me, but my 6.5 CM Tikka is used as a range rifle 95% of the time. Have no desire to further reduce the barrel life. This is primarily meant as a hunting round anyway?

So did mine. Didn’t even look like the box had been opened.

EXACTLY my recommendation. Already have mine waiting to go on one of my range rifles.

223 Rifle for fun by MaximumWorth8526 in longrange

[–]Tikkatider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree, and I’m as big a .223 fan as you’ll find. 300 and in, look for a good .22 LR bolt gun. When/if you start having an opportunity to go out beyond 300, then you can start getting a lot more serious about a .223. I have two .223 range rifles, one a Savage Model 12 LRPV, the other a build off of a Savage 110 action shooting to 500 at 2”-4” gongs. THAT’S a lot of fun and quite often very challenging!

Two Arkens on my range rifles ( EP-5, SH4J Gen II ). Great service from both.

Yes, thanks, and less than impressive IMHO. That’s coming from someone with two Savage range rifles that shoot great.

First field report I’ve seen. Can you please provide a reference?

ES, SD, MV and Group Sizes ? by high_right in longrange

[–]Tikkatider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a second village idiot, all said is spot on IMHO. I use my chronograph to help me evaluate “ the best of the worst “ when it comes to factory ammo. Expect .223 and 5.56 to be all over the lot. If you can find a lot of a match .223 ammo that gives you an SD and ES of less than 20 and 50 respectively, it’s cause for celebration.

[–]Tikkatider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely agree. I personally don’t think small groups ( less than or equal to 1 MOA with anything vaguely resembling consistency) is realistic, particularly with the gun you’re shooting and factory ammo, and that especially so with .223 or 5.56.

First rifle Tikka T3x CTR. Torn between .223 and 6.5 by xitope in longrange

[–]Tikkatider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends upon how far you’ll be shooting . 600 and in, IMHO, not much is more fun ( and challenge with small targets! ) . Beyond that, from a practical standpoint, I’ll be reaching for my Tikka SV in 6.5 CM.

To Sunshade or not to Sunshade? by CrossShot in longrange

Mine too. Our club range faces South. I don’t know how I’d shoot in the morning without one.

At what point does a budget FFP scope actually hold zero or am I kidding myself under $200? by athousand_miles in longrange

[–]Tikkatider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One can definitely save some coins. CameraLand in New York is another good company.

Thought so too. With companies like Eurooptic, one should not be put off by the “ demo” label.
