    ZEISS Conquest V4 6-24x50

    Same here. Everything I have ever bought from them has been perfect.

    ZEISS Conquest V4 6-24x50

    https://redhawkrifles.com/clearance-zeiss-conquest-v4-6-24x50-rifle-scope-93-zmoa-1-reticle/ Redhawk has 'em beat by $50. Either way, great scopes at that price point in my non-expert opinion.

    Custom/semi-custom

    I love my Tikka build, but I probably wouldn't build another one in a LA caliber. If your plan is to shoot factory ammo it will be just fine, but if the goal is to load for it then your COAL will be limited by the shorter magazine length. Just something to think about 👍

    Scammed

    Well in addition to mom working with individuals with special needs, apparently dad is heavily involved with the Methodist church. I found two cell phone numbers listed for the Reverend James Coulston - (317) 642-6344 & (812) 631-4747. I'm not sure if either of them are good, but I didn't want...

    Scammed

    I'm a smidge late to the party here, but as an attorney I have a little experience finding people that don't want to be found as well. Unfortunately, the only information I found in addition to what AkleyFan located is that it looks like there is also a James Aaron Coulston and a Grace Ellen...

    Pre-fit Barrel Makers

    I've also had great results with the three Carbon Six prefits I have so far, and when they are on sale they're pretty dang hard to beat for the money if carbon wrapped is what you're looking for. I will continue to buy more in the future.

    Fastest (elk) round for a SA

    You said it's a Tikka build, so I feel like the potential short action COAL concerns you're having could be alleviated with a LA bolt stop and a LA magazine.

    6.5 PRC for Aoudad??

    As his username would suggest, this gentleman is right on target on this subject (small pun intended). I have only taken a handful of Aoudad myself, but based on my limited experience I also fall into the 6.5 PRC is plenty camp. I would probably run a bullet in the 140-156gn range personally to...

    Sako rebarrel

    So that A7 is the only Sako I have ever pulled a barrel off of, but it came off just fine. I have also done three Tikkas though, and I can assure you that all of them were a pain.

    Sako rebarrel

    A Tikka prefit will thread (and headspace correctly) onto both Sako 85 & A7 actions. While I wouldn't recommend going out and purchasing either action for the purpose of building a semi-custom rifle off of it due to the limited aftermarket stock choices available, if you already have one of...

    Best caliber for Colorado Mule Deer.

    Sounds like you're down in that "if they make it out of the sendero and back into the brush we'll never find them" part of our state. Big calibers just make sense down there, and a 300 RUM is obviously more than a match for any deer anywhere. I'm more curious as to whether the rifle itself is...

    What’s your favorite caliber for deer?

    I'm finding that the 280AI is slowly becoming my answer to everything.

    300 WSM for elk hunting?

    There's only one reason a 300wsm wouldn't get it done on elk, and that would be operator error...

    Best deer scope

    If you want to save some coin on a quality optic, redhawkrifles open box deals on zeiss conquest V4s are pretty hard to beat.

    Built a 6.5 PRC for deer

    Nice build! I just finished a similar tikka build in 280AI and absolutely love it.
