I was trying to remove the factory bolt shroud but I think I fucked it. This is the current state of play. Any advice as to where to go from here would be greatly appreciated. This is a left handed bolt shroud BTW. Thanks!

Edit: Successfully re-cocked it! Thanks for the advice everyone, this is a video of the technique I used if anyone else is interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II2beAaUsgI&list=WL&index=1

it doesn't take much pressure to bring down the cheek riser despite tightening the screw as much as i physically can. the threads look fine, the wedges on the plastic pieces inside look fine. nothing looks worn or damaged, but surely this can't be normal right? this is a new rifle.

Picked up a very well priced Tikka T3, only issue is this sling Stud. How should I fixed this? Thanks all

Found this shady looking site. Has anyone tried it?

About to get a Tikka CTR 6.5 with 20in barrel.

An outdoor range an hour away just started allowing non range members shoot there. They have up to 800yd ranges, but non members are limited to 400 yds as of now as I understand it. Prior to this development my local range was indoors and maxed out at 50yds. The nearest outdoor 100yd range is 2hrs away. So, despite me wanting something beyond my Ruger American Ranch 556 it didn't make sense until now.

The range isn't taking new members now and may not so I'll presume I'm maxed out at 400yds for a while.

Still, I'd rather have and not need than need and not have.

I'll make my Vortex Viper HS 2.5-10 work for a bit until I can upgrade.

Thinking of 3x18 or 3x15 will serve me well. Budget on optic around $1kish but can go up a few hundred.

I have a razor 1-6 on my AR15 and do appreciate clean glass. But, this rifle will be an occasional bench shooting gun and I'm a casual shooter.

I just want a nice mid level bolt gun with solid optic that won't leave me wanting more.

Looking at:

Athlon Ares ETR 3-18x50mm

Bushnell Match Pro ED MRAD 3-18x50mm

Vortex Viper PST Gen II 3-15x44

Leupold VX-5HD 3-15x44mm

Why is the MPED going for 600 or under in several places? Are they discontinuing it? I know many don't like the busy reticle but it seems down right cheap now.

Couple mediocre reviews on Midwayusa for it.

Europtic has so many random crazy deals and DEMO deals I may be able to punch up to a higher grade scope if I time it right.

Given my criteria, what's a solid scope choice for the 20in CTR? While it is intended to be a bench gun I also don't want it to be a boat anchor. 15x or 18x seems like it will more than take care of my needs.

Thanks.

Last pic is the silver Tikka Talley Rings for anyone who is curious (just like I was), if it matches the stainless steel. Slightly too bright/white. At certain angles it looks better and also worse. Went with the black rings instead.

Adult onset hunter here, picked up hunting about 6 years ago with a Savage Axis II chambered in 30-06. I wanting something to reach out a bit further for deer and elk hunting in western Montana, so I picked up a Tikka T3x Ace Game in 7mm Rem Mag. I feel like I upgraded from a Toyota Camry to a Ferrari, I’m so excited to see what this baby can do!
