CZickiness XXXVIII Reboot. To Honor a friend

[hANNAbONE]

Yeah. The two scopes I have are MOA and I'll probably pick up the same to keep everything consistent.

I have been tempted to cancel my Bergara order and get one of those Tikka that 88 picked up, as it would probably come in faster, but now I'm interested in the Bergara to compare it with the Tikka to see how they compare to each other.

I have owned/own 4 Tikka rifles and they have all been stellar and "over" built.

Right outta the box they have performed so well that I keep coming back to them.

Kinda like CZ's.!!

Morning CM

I think I've just about got myself talked into doing some major restructuring with rifles. Thinking ahead of what I will actually need and use has put some stuff in the "this can go" pile.

Yeah, I did just that back in June/July.

When things were still available.

I picked up 2 308's and ammo along with several scopes.

It was a bizzy time last summer.

Good morning : My People.!!

gonna be cold for a bit today.

Stupid Bowl is on this early evening.

I'll make some popcorn and have a Guinness or 3...

WT, I have to wonder why some of the places are 2 weeks behind on shipping. If they're talking about OOS I can understand. Inventory is so depleted that I can't see why they're taking so long.

I wish I knew. They have a form email that came in as soon as I ordered saying they were swamped with orders and at least two weeks behind...

 

[wtburnette]

I would cancel my order if I could find a Bergara HMR in 308 in stock somewhere, but they are unicorns at this time.

 

[wtburnette]

Okay, now I'm conflicted. After all the talk about Athlon scopes I looked this up:

Athlon Scope

That is stupid tempting. Money is super tight right now due to the purchase of two rifles and owing uncle sugar. I was already thinking about buying the Diamondback Tactical as I didn't want to pay a grand for the Viper PST Gen II, even though I really want one. I'm curious how this would compare, at that sub-$300 price point...

I don't know what to tell you about the scopes but I wouldn't cancel the order unless I for sure had another one treed.

here's a linky :

make sure you look at the "GrabAQuote" ones - you'll get +25% off most of them.

The one you fondled was a 3.75" dagger/black :

CobraTec CTK-1 OTF Knife - 3.75" Plain Dagger Blade

The CobraTec CTK-1 out-the-front knife is an excellent choice for an every day carry and use knife. With a blade made from D2 steel, it will handle any tasks time and time again while remaining sharp. The handle is ambidextrous with a dual action trigger to either quickly deploy or retract the...

You must've read my mind, was going to ask for more details. That was a sweet knife.

Yeah it was.......Damnit.

Yea, I had to check it out too. I'm trying to ignore the thought but it somehow keeps coming back.

Has anyone had good luck ordering from them recently? Looking at some 223 match they have.

I ordered 200 rounds of this and had a shipping confirmation within 6 hours. It should be here on Wednesday unless some snow delays FedEx again

 

[Ruger_Ronin]

Here’s the two that I shot today after they’ve been cleaned and before putting them back in the safe. I’m really liking the PA 1-6x Raptor. My only grip is that the method of adjusting the dials to zero them after dialing the optic in does not give a lot of confidence that they will remain adjusted. I much prefer set screws holding the caps in place over the insert method they used. The Tikka did well today once I got my **** together when dialing it in. It did not help that I forgot to bring targets along.

The 716 looks saweeeet!

GM all. Coffee or die. Been a rough couple days. Dust has finally settled. Seems the kids have rounded the corner. Hoping Kate and I stay clear of it (honestly didn't see how it's possible) Nothing more than a typical stomach bug, but I shall name it: The Purgening. I almost opted for a priest instead of a pediatrician.

Same here.

Now I NEED a 75, AND a CobraTec. That's a lot to take in, in one day.

We might give it a couple days to finish our highway run.

Oh absolutely. The way 308 rifles are scarce as hell means there's no way I would cancel first.

Had already planned on it. Plus I probably still have the residual smell on me. First impressions man. Lol. Thanks again for wearing pants for me!

That's the gen1 version. Research told me the gen2 was worth the extra bucks.

So how does that compare to the Vortex scopes though?

Good morning CZickos
