    Tikka

    I have the T3 in 308, smooth and accurate. I use the Hornady lite 125 gr ammo. I got a group of used mags on Ebay and ended up with two which are for WSM rounds. If anyone can use these mags just send me an address.
  2. Good luck, for five years after radiation I would always cross my fingers when it was time for another PSA test. Modern treatments have improved. Best of luck to you.
  3. Someone, please buy this gun, I do not need another FAL. It is close to my home and the price is great, if I buy this my gun fund will be empty.
  4. I have one, it is great for daily carry and is fun to shoot. Mine is very accurate for a small gun. This is a good price.
  5. This is a good deal! Someone needs to buy this before the weekend. I am resisting the urge to buy another gun.
  6. Good price, sort of glad you do not live near me. I should not buy any more guns!

    .22 wmr rifles

    Have a Savage b22 mag and it is acccurate. Plastic stock so I don't mind if it gets dirty or scratched. A nice step up from the power of 22lr.
  8. Replaced the stock on the Tikka and put limbsaver pads on both. Tested both with several types of ammo. Tikka is slightly more accurate and much smoother to operate. Plan to keep the Tikka. Found some low recoil 125gr ammo which is easy on the shoulder.
  9. Took both to the range. They are more accurate than I am. Recoil was strong with both. The Savage stock fits me better. Looks like I need a few more range trips to decide.
  10. I got both. Will take to the range to see which one I like best. The other can be a Christmas gift to my son.
  11. Looking for a bolt gun in 308. Local shop has like new Savage 11 and another shop has like new T3. Both guns are about ten years old, but look almost new. Prices are similar. Anyone have a Tikka? Not sure which to get.
  12. No, I think long and hard before I buy another gun. I do miss the days when guns at yard sales were sometimes too good to pass up.
  13. Some of the shows were huge. Bob Pope had a good show and some collector group in Memphis had the biggest and best show I had ever seen. I remember getting Lake City 7.62x51 case of 1,000 for $200 including tax.
  14. Got one a few months ago. Standard type stock. Fun to shoot and accurate for a pistol caliber carbine. I put on a low power shotgun scope and at 50 yard shots are in about a two inch group. I have bad shoulders so this will be my new "big gun".
  15. Memphis is one of the reasons the carry permit system was changed. It was in the papers about 25 or 30 years ago revealing the bribes taken to issue permits to people who did not qualify. If a huge flood flushed the city into the gulf it would be a good thing for Tennessee.

    Carry History

  17. I was a scout leader for about 15 years. Our troop was very active in many outdoor sports including shooting. I was NRA certified for rifle, pistol and shotgun. We had several adults with different certifications so that we could stage troop level shooting weekends. I have been out for a few years, but I saw the newer boys and parents becoming less active in outdoor sports even before the covid. Scouts would be sort of lame if you are not going to shoot, ski, canoe or backpack in the wilderness.
  18. I do not remember much from 25 years ago. I was glad when they changed the permitting rules and the class was fun.
  19. As a kid used a single shot 410 with #5 shot. As a teenager used a pistol for squirrel. My shooting skills have gone down hill the past forty years.
  20. We have a contract on our house and I keep finding boxes and ammo cans full of ammo in odd places. I don't remember buying all this ammo and I even found a pistol which I had forgotten about. I am sure it has nothing to do with my age. All the cool kids were born in the 50's right?

  22. You should post this on the FAL files, they would find it interesting.
  23. I think it was Nashville Motorcycle Repair that worked on my son's old bike. They did a good job. This was several years ago.
  24. We will see more attempts by gun control groups and others to use school walkouts. Some school systems have stated that they allowed, but did not endorse this activity. I think we all know this is BS. Contact the members of your local school board and ask each of them why they allowed this political stunt to occur at school. Keep track of where they stand on this when it is time for school board elections.
  25. If you know an exhibitor you can volunteer to help them set up and work the booth. This gets you in the door before the visitors and is an excuse to stay for the entire event.
