One of the biggest frustrations with the "hunting with match bullets" conversations is they are argued as one homogenous design. They are not all the same, and they do not all perform the same in tissue. Eldms don't perform the same as scenars, berger hybrids don't perform the same as SMKs...

The type of competition is pretty vital for this

depends on how the ground is without manipulation but I really like leaning into the natural pattern that’s already there and possibly clearing light brush to do food plots over just slapping in some corn. We let the neighbors feed them corn :)

My favorite rifle is my comp gun, tikka in a krg chassis with a Tooley chambered Bartlien

Maybe I'll change my mind when I get mine, but from photos I don't dislike the look personally As far as the bottom of the stock being flat, it's definitely not for anything visual. They are very clear that it's to reduce the opportunity for muzzle rise during recoil and that minor elevation...

I have one on order as well, am quite excited to see it in person. I don’t personally even find it ugly from pictures. We will see in real life. My eh1 is good it’s just not quite there, I think this one is gonna be the ticket

Yikes.

The x bolts are Good rifles.

12.5-14.5 ar Nx8 77 tmks

Glad it's changed, the last time I tried was admittedly last year? and you told me I had to buy through an approved dealer and wouldn't sell me one

They make tikka stocks you just have to spin in circles and say Hail Marys and balance on your toes to buy one Apparently you can buy direct now!

What’s the advantage over a 73 eldm or 77tmk going faster?

the only vanguard I’ve owned was a nice rifle that shot well and the action was decently nice, fed, ejected, functioned well. Not as bind resistant as a tikka but not bad either. Good rifles, hate the weatherby stock shape

Wood stocked browning BAR with dbm and swappable barrels

Def unnecessary for it to shoot, but may help you shoot it better. Especially the higher buttpad I think helps stay on target vs the sporter style stocks.
