CZickiness XXXVIII Reboot. To Honor a friend

[Ruger_Ronin]

Afternoon folks!

I ordered a Tikka T3X Lite in .308 this morning. I need to source a rail and then this will host the Sierra 3 BDX optic. It then will be used for hunting steel beyond 400 yards. I’m shopping right now to see where I can buy a package of skill to go with it. Nobody seems to sell that, so I’ll just have to build my own.

Nice rifles. Good choice.

I've heard great things about those Tikkas, 88' ! ......and you have plenty of skill....of that, I'm sure !

Looks like I get try out Athlon's warranty. During some scope comparisons this morning, I discovered a very interesting issue with the Helos BTR on my Tippmann rifle. While rotating the magnification ring, you can easily see the entire image shifting quite a bit and rotating also. You can wiggle the mag ring slightly and watch everything jump around. My other Helos scope on the CZ 457 does not have this issue and also has considerably more resistance when turning. I'm kinda disappointed in myself that I just now noticed it.

Interested to hear if they stand by their warranty.

It will definitely slow the pace of shooting this year. Nothing like a bolt gun to slow the rate of fire down.

You guys are having to much fun this morning...I'm doing a brake job on Henri's Outback...

Question: If I had to wear pants but not get on the hiway, or even travel, is that still a win?

Is that what you old timers call it???

I’ve never had to test out a company’s warranty on my iron sights.

Some of us have old people eyes despite not being that old yet.

You guys are making me want a bolt action rifle. I mean, it was already on the list but now it’s moving higher up. Bad influences!

Must be all that time looking for a man. (Sorry, but it was right there.)

FIFY. Those Tikka T3Xs can be had pretty reasonably..


My antivirus blocked that Tacticon site...

I tested my .30-06 reloads today. My shoulder isn't the happiest but it's getting better. I think I've settled on 44gr of H4895 under a 168gr bullet. Felt good to get out and shoot, wasn't too cold and we were dressed for it. Good day.

Definitely not a bad idea in these days and times. I'm researching some .223 bolt actions, like to add one.

You do any deer hunting with it? My old man started loading, but I don't think he's done much load development. He just went to middle of the road loadings for E-tips, Partitions, and something else in .30-06.

Why not something with a little more oomph/ distance capabilities? I guess with an -06 you have the oomph down.

No I've not hunted with it. I'm the same way, just wanted a "softer" load somewhere in the middle. As far as .223, I load for it already and I feel like I'd shoot it more as it'd be more comfortable. I think .223 distances would be fine for me really. Reach out as far as I'd want to go

Picked up 160rds of Old Grand-dad today. My m77 favors the 180gr stuff over the 150gr. I don't reload so I'm limited to factory offerings.

 

[JEBland]

Fair enough. I don't do a lot of all day range trips. The only reason I got a .223 was for the smaller framed family members to be able to use without concern about recoil.

I’ve been thinking the same, but that would require adding another caliber or trying to buy ammo for en existing caliber... So I’ll just settle with playing with a .22 bolt gun. If you don’t have one, I’d start there. Great fun.
