Wow, what a great rifle! Beautiful and in a classic cartridge. I hope it shoots really well - Tikka's usually do - and you usually coax the very best accuracy out of your rifles. I'd think deer, pronghorn and that sort of thing? Guy

375... That's a cartridge that deserved to be more popular. Great looking rifle! I'd imagine that it shoots well? Guy

I'm interested in the terminal performance of the bullets. Standard 7mm "cup and core" projectiles might be overwhelmed by high impact velocity. This seems to be a candidate for mono-metal bullets like Nosler's E-Tip. I think Federal's Terminal Ascent is a pretty tough bullet but I've never...

Excellent! Troubling about the case head separation. A fine reason to take two rifles I suppose. Guy

Good looking Marlin! Not a doggone thing wrong with a scope on a Marlin.

Nice! Only thing I'd do to that load, is load up a hundred more of them... :) Guy

Excellent! Love the wear on the rings... Guy

Summer of '69... I was a little younger and was likely at our neighbor's house bugging him to let me work on his Firebird 400 with him... He took me to the local NHRA dragstrip with him. Doggone thing ran 12's and 13's in the quarter mile and looked great cruising around. I was totally smitten...

Great photos! Umm, keep your head on a swivel and the kiddos & livestock close. Guy

True. We lived in Virginia and then Maryland for the three years I was imprisoned in Washington DC... Guy

Here doggie doggie.... ;)

With pistol brass, I tumble it with the spent primers in place. Saves me the trouble of picking out tumbling media afterwards. But I just dry tumble, I'm not doing the wet steel pin thing at this point. After a batch of 45's, 44's or 38's are done tumbling, I resize and deprime at the same...

Thanks all. Much appreciated. I first learned of rust and rifles when I was a Marine and transferred to Washington DC. Put my only rifle, the 6mm Rem 700, in large basement workshop on a shelf, mid 1980's. Had absolutely no time for recreational shooting for a good six months or more. Picked...

"For high velocity and long range rifle shooting, the best bullets I’ve ever used were Nosler. They have a fragile tip that’ll expand at most all effective ranges, yet the base half will carry on through the beast and leave a good blood trail.“Gun Notes” (January, 1962)" Yuppers!

You folks who live in more humid climates - do you use dehumidifiers in your gun safes to prevent rust? What else? Yes I live in Washington - but the dry side. Honestly, we get about 8" of precip a year here, despite some pretty heavy snowfall at times. Rather dry here, almost a desert like...
