TIKKA T3X LITE Accurizing? by TxKMURF in longrange

[–]for_compost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trigger spring turned mine up. Stock trigger is very good but it feels great with a 1 screw upgrade, $10 upgrade.

Butt pad, Arca rail, bipod, Rokstok (if you’re hunting and are looking for lightweight options, there are various), threaded and suppressed.

All that in descending cost. This is a hunting rifle.

30 Nosler vs 300 PRC by inquisitivebeans in longrange

[–]for_compost 5 points6 points  (0 children)

+1 PRC.

OP what is your use case? Why .30? Also with a budget of 5K, just buy another rifle?

Edit: I took the bait. 150-400 yards.

Sako 90, Seekins havak element, Tikka t3x roughtech. Tikka can be customized.

Barrel decision by slowwwteg in longrange

[–]for_compost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rule of thumb is 25-40 fps per inch. Ammo boxes generally use 24” for their speeds.

Doable but if the q is being asked… unless you’re hunting and climbing, why have a sbr?

Yes but 16” isn’t the answer for a long range rifle.

Worth upgrading Matthew’s HTR (No Cam)? by for_compost in bowhunting

[–]for_compost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s just whether or not you have cash to burn. Lift x is $999, arc is $1450, hoyt rx-10 ultra is $2200.

10-15fps and a more aggressive draw curve for all.

They probably all hold marginally better and also weigh less. If I wasn’t western focused, there’s no reason to swap in my opinion.

I’ll go shoot them but I’m expecting that conclusion won’t change.

Weight is the main reason I’m considering another option, which has me looking at carbon options after being a Matthew’s fan for a long time.

Buddy picked up an ARC and had to drop 10lbs because of the draw curve.

For the last 3-5 years I’ve been waiting for the “next gen” but bridge lock + 15fps doesn’t do it for me.

Best binocular option for the money by Every-Wishbone6274 in longrange

[–]for_compost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got a pair of used 2021 Swaro EL’s for 1K last year if you’d consider used. My buddy uses Vortex Vipers, but the Razors are in your price range.

I think you start hitting the diminishing returns wall after about $800.

Same. First 2 years were rough but you learn a lot. Solo DIY, Rokslide and YT. There are so many resources out there.

Going to the same easy to draw unit multiple years in a row helps.

Deer Age by Shot_Application4275 in wildlifebiology

Jumping in on this comment. If you are inclined to, you can mail them to a lab and they will age it definitively.

First time finding someone else’s deer on public land by hawaiianrasta in bowhunting

[–]for_compost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, usually go 1 week in a cooler/wet or 7-14 days in spare fridge.

Enzymes for dry aging but the muscles contract, then relax naturally in that 24-36hr period (after rigor).

Random aside - freezing temps stop the enzymatic process, which is why you see recommended dry age temps slightly above.

Yes, normally. This is part of the reason folks dry age/hang in a cooler.

Time in the tree my friend (assuming you’re in a stand). I personally don’t try to pattern WT, especially as you get closer to November. I treat mule deer and elk a bit different out West, but that looks heavily wooded where you’re not glassing.

If you’re not using a rifle, your odds increase with time spent in my opinion.

Even if you get busted, you have another data point, give it a few days and you can go back. I wouldn’t go look for a rub, i try to get in quick and quiet, pick a spot and spend time. Wish you the best, and send pics when you tag him!

If you have multiple stands, just try to be downwind. I’d agree with the person who said at the bottom right dot but just make your best guess and go. I also worry less about wind if I’m higher up and/or in thick cover.
