    Complaint; Shipping dept is LAME

    SPS is one of the few I don’t have to argue with to put bullets and brass in the mail. Of course that doesn’t work for live ammo but we all know that. I have had excellent service. Hope your situation is resolved to your satisfaction.

    Snowstorm Woes

    We do municipal road maintenance for our little city. Snow season tests the limits of man and machine. Sorry to hear about your break down.

    Ordered Another Tikka!

    I suspect there would be need for a real recoil lug incorporated into the conversion as well as a heavier stock. Should be about 9# all in to be tolerable. At least for me. Haha.

    Sportman’s Warehouse

    Rant: There’s one in Juneau where we have to go for most of our supply. I don’t like it. There used to be a mom and pop gunshop in town, had a lot of stuff. He had some issues with ATFE of his own making, but he was getting through it. He had a ton of reloading supply. Sportsman’s pulled...

    Ordered Another Tikka!

    Tikkas are fantastic. The Finns do not abide mediocre performance in rifles. They work in conditions where many of our NA designs fail. I have one that I rebarreled to .338 Federal and I am psyching up to one in .416 Taylor.

    Ran one down with a Jeep when I was a kid and shot it with a .22 pistola.

    Tight chamber

    Are you stripping the bolt to check the headspace? Speaking for myself only, it’s hard to get a good feel for it otherwise. Unlikely but the Nosler ammo could be long. I’d shoot it before I went at it with a reamer.

    Bullet choice for a .308 Win. back-up elk rifle.

    I’d think that 180BT would be a perfect choice if it shoots well for him.

    The eldx doesn’t care much about a big jump in my experience.

    Made in USA front adjustable shooting rest

    Sure. I shot benchrest years ago when I lived in the more uncivilized part of the USA haha. This rest came recommended by the fella that built my rifle and showed me the ropes. It was expensive even then as I recall. It followed me to Alaska. I don’t use it. I should sell it, probably...

    "Don't Hunt Bear!"

    I don’t advocate for hunting bare either. It’s too cold.

    The all arounder/utility/truck rifle

    I recently took a small dog with a 85gr Sierra out of my 6x45 moving at a modest 2650. Behind the shoulder, caliber size entrance maybe a 3/4” exit. No problem with sewing that up.

    Leave it. Those SD and ES numbers are virtually meaningless for hunting gun practical accuracy. Nice work!
