Greetings, My brother and I have hunted with Johann a number of times the past few years. Our last visit was this past April. As noted, he is in the process of selling his property and has moved his operation to Byseewah. We hunted there a few days last year. Nice place. Lots of game. Feel...

Welcome to the forum. Another AH member here from Central PA, Blair Co.

I purchased a new Fierce rifle in 300 PRC with a 22” carbon barrel with a 1:9 twist. I’m looking for any information from AH members who might have experience loading 210 gn ABLR bullets or 208 gn TTSX LR. I have a few pounds of N570 and H1000 I can use. I see in the manuals data for RL26 but it...

Look forward to meeting you at the show Jake. And a big kudos to you for helping with the new rifle and scope. Haven’t had a chance to shoot it yet but looking forward to doing so. My FFL liked the hat so much he kept it.

My experience was similar to some who have posted. IMy brother and I both received an email while in Namibia that we were approved. Upon return to the US, we went through the GE check point and did our picture and "interview". Several other friends had a similar experience. It seems leaving...

Over the years, I’ve bought quite a few items from EuroOptics. Just Monday, I ordered a Tikka T3X ranch rifle in 308 to use from my stands and blinds. I figure the short barrel will be quite handy in tight spaces and will work well with my AB Raptor suppressor. It came to my FFL quickly but on...

Update - today I put the tikka 223 into the compact stock and adjusted trigger pull to 3 pounds. I also verified the twist rate of the 223 is a 1:8 so it might be possible to go ahead with a heavier bullet for hunting if she shots it well. I wish I could put the can on this rifle but it isn’t...

Thanks for the tip. I will check it out.

Thanks for the tips. I have the trigger springs ordered. I’ve been looking at the twist rate of the 223. I THINK it is a 1:8 but need to verify. Apparently Tikka produced two different barrels a few years back when I bought the one I have. Anyone know how heavy bullet the 1:8 will stabilize...

One other question if I can. I received the compact stock for the Tikka today with the three different LOP spacers. I actually think it will be a good fit for her at the shortest LOP but still allow me to lengthen if needs be in the future. My question is on the grip. The stock came with the...

Thanks for all the information so far. I will look at the LR accubonds and plan on using the AB Raptor suppressor I have. She can practice with the 223 (with good ear protection) while I get the Creedmoor worked out. Still lots of time before our youth season begins here in PA. If anyone has...

I should have also noted I bought a case of the Norma 140 gn Whitetail ammo that Raven Rock has on sale. I was thinking she could use that during the deer season after she’s gotten a little familiar with the recoil.

I am setting up a rifle for my ten year old female cousin to use to shoot and hunt whitetails with us this fall. She’s not very big so recoil is a concern. She’s been shooting a 22LR a number of years but no center fire thus far. I’ve settled on a tikka T3x with fluted barrel and muzzle brake...

Very nice. Thanks for sharing. I recently purchased a Parker Hale 1200 in 270 as a project rifle from a fellow AH member who was helping a deceased friend's family sell some firearms. The rifle had been in storage a number of years and needed a good cleaning and the stock refinished. I...
