Tikka T3X- Tight Chamber
I've tried 5 kinds of factory ammo. In 4 of 5, the bolt was tough to close and left ejector marks on unfired cases. Pretty sure it's the gun. Don't have time to keep messing with sending it back or mailing gauges around, since I only have 5 days home between now and the hunt it'd be used on... -

Tikka T3X- Tight Chamber
Well, nobody I know near here has a gauge and I leave for a work trip in a few days... so took her to the range with the one brand of factory stuff that does fit. Shoots like a Tikka, which is fine for my purposes. Not the right fix, but anyone know of a brand of '06 brass that comes to mind... -

Tikka T3X- Tight Chamber
It does. Don't have a gauge or anything, but seems to depress with a comparable amount of force to several other rifles I have that function fine. Good SA on this. Don't have a borescope, but I think go/ no go gauges are probably the next item up. Just sucks having to come out of pocket to fix... -

Tikka T3X- Tight Chamber
Necromancing this thread as I just got back into town and have come up with the free time and willpower to give this another shot. Bullets do not have rifling imprints- appears to be an issue with the shoulder of the case. I retorqued action screws to spec and tried four different brands of... -

Specks, you call em crappie
Dude I tried some chain pickerel in a blind taste test with crappie and hybrid striper a few weeks ago. Everyone liked the pickerel best. 100% keeping those when I catch a good one- oxn939

HTer Fitness Goals '24 Edition
Another one. If everyone in America spent the same amount of time at a light jog that they spend daily on snapchat, virtually every problem our country has would be gone in 100 days lol- oxn939

HTer Fitness Goals '24 Edition
Which is the best thing that can happen to you lol. If everyone stopped eating refined sugars and seed oils tomorrow, it's no exaggeration to say that the world would be unrecognizable in six months. Hospitals would be mostly empty, hundreds of thousands of people would suddenly not be disabled...- oxn939

HTer Fitness Goals '24 Edition
On a "sugar fast" kick lately, cutting out basically all refined sugars. It's amazing how much better I feel, even as someone who has been pretty serious about training 5-6x a week for the last 18 years. Better energy, better sleep, just generally feel a lot cleaner. Actually pretty wild all the...- oxn939

Barn Owl Cameras- AVOID
Picked up a Barn owl cellular camera in November '22 to keep an eye on a hunting property. Setup was fairly easy for both the camera and solar panel. Transmitted well for a month or two. Then it died randomly. They sent me another one in April '23. Set that one up, and things were going great...- oxn939

Small outboard- Suzuki v. Merc. v. Yamaha
Thanks for the input, everyone! Decided to stick with the Mercury for a few reasons. One, they're actually made by Tohatsu, which are some of the most reliable outboards out there. Two, they're offering an extended 5 year warranty right now. Three, the tiller is located on the engine's...- oxn939

Small outboard- Suzuki v. Merc. v. Yamaha
Putting a skiff together and looking at options for a 9.9 EFI four stroke. I currently have a Mercury (which is actually a Tohatsu) that is a great little engine, but will be selling with the boat I'm replacing. Anyone got strong opinions between these? All have good warranties and seem to be...- oxn939

Lever Monday...post em up
That's the dream. Hopefully burning my elk points in WY this year... I just don't know if I can add "giving up 75% of my MER" to the list of stuff I'll have going against me as a nonresident with only a week to hunt, hah. If the stars really align and I draw a Pronghorn doe tag, I think that'd...
