I am considering picking up a used .280 AI. I have looked everywhere, and have only found one post regarding barrel life. They stated that barrel life was around 800. That seemed wayyyy off IMO especially since it isn't a magnum round. I'm hoping someone on here could shed some light on this for...

Hi guys, this is more of a what would you do type question. I have been bouncing the idea of getting a Tikka T3x around for a little while. I love the idea of their modular stock, but does or could it measure up to some of the aftermarket stocks? If I was to pillar (I have all of the parts from...

I have finally sold a gun and am looking to replace it with the Tikka t3x 7 mag. I am wanting to run the 175 ELD-X. Are there any Tikka shooters out there that can offer any info on the COAL. Will I be able to stretch it out any while still using the magazine, or will I be limited to factory...

Those are some sweet looking guns man. Do you know what the weight is without the scope? I'm having a hard time deciding where I would like the weight to be. I will be building this keeping sheep, goats, and other backcountry game in mind. I recently went to New Zealand for a stag hunt. My gun...

CPGfan how do you like the 6.5 saum?

I am considering building a lightweight rifle that will be capable from 0-500ish. I will be chambering it in a 6.5 or 7mm short magnum type round. While doing some research I have come across many post on here and other sites that suggest using a first generation Remington titanium. If I go that...

I have a hunting trip to New Zealand coming up. I just recently bought a tikka t3 lite in 300 wsm for the trip, and a future build I have been wanting to do for a while. I topped it with the nightforce nxs from gunwerks with the g7 reticle. Pretty much my dream set up minus a proof barrel, and a...

I have though about the 7wsm but the brass issue has somewhat deterred me. I have never fire formed any brass, and was trying to avoid it if possible. How much work is it to fire form 300 wsm to 7wsm? Is there any advantage of the 300 over the 7mm or vise versa? I like the 270 wsm but am not...

Hi guys I am considering a future build. It may be a little ways down the road, but wanted to get everyones 2 cents. Between all of the members here there is quite a bit of knowledge at my disposal. So here is my plan I have a Sako 75 270 wsm I got years back and love it. I have yet to run a...

Hi I'm new to the forum and adjust curious what kind of rigs everyone is using. I am from Mississippi, but my heart is in the west, some of the most beautiful country in the world! As for my guns ,nothing too special, for hunting i am hunting with a model 700 aac-sd 308 for my "long" range...
