I ordered this is September of 2020 at the pre-Covid price, before prices started to skyrocket. It was delivered today, 23 months later, and they billed me for the original purchase price. Lol

Looking forward to putting it through this. Tikka T1X with a SilencerCo Sparrow. I generally can get under .5" groups at 50 yards with that CCI ammo, and under .375" groups with Eley Club. I enjoy shooting toothpicks in half at 50 yards with it.

It no longer has that scope setup. I have a set of Talley rings mounted right to the receiver and have eliminated that picatinmy adapter.

Wow! Nice setup. I love shooting Eley but rarely do. It is certainly cost prohibitive. I would guess your deviation reduced when you made the switch to the Talley rings. You are certainly wringing every bit of accuracy out of it. We have a lot of “league” shooters who rock Tikkas Almost a cult like following, they are passionate about their loyalty and enthusiasm around the brand. And their scores reflect it. The 22 rifle league is by far our most popular division. Nice rifles. They badgered me into picking one up, so I bought a 223 bone stock Tikka bolt gun and competed against all the bench rest scope boys this last year and did quite well. Many were pissed. It was a hoot. All the 22 guys were cheering me on much to the derision of the Centerfire crowd.
 
I've got a few thousand rounds of Eley, found a deal on it a while back and stocked up for a lot less than current prices.

I never shot it with that picatinny rail adapter, it came with that setup, but I switched to the Talley rings right off the bat.

I bought it to join the 22 bullseye league at my local range, I still need a little more trigger time behind it, but that's still my plan.

This a grouping with the whole magazine, so 10 rounds, shot at 50 yards with Eley Club.

Join the league and have a blast! Some of my best time shooting is/was competing in house leagues. We have a great time, the heckling is non stop and the free advice never ending! In the end you are actually competing against yourself and just trying to improve each match. Just a great time and good fellowship. Have fun be safe!

This league is a bit different. It's 8 weeks and you just have to turn in 8 targets. Whether you do one a week, or all 8 at once, or any combination, as long as you turn in 8 it doesn't matter. What's the target, 20 bullseye on it I think, and they score based off distance to the bull. There isn't a set day/time to compete, which is why I want to join, with all the activities my kids do, it's hard to find time to shoot.

That sounds like a great way to set it up, when ranges force the shooting into a specific time slot they loose a lot of participants. All in I think we had almost 600 folks in our Winter league and around 1400 in summer trap. They are set up similar to yours. You have to post targets and score while RO can verify. Other than that just get em done in ten weeks.
 
Well seeings how this thread goes to the dogs on occasion thought I would post some dinner prep. My German Shepard is a big un. She can easily put her muzzle on the counter while still on all fours. In Ten years she has never swiped anything off the counter. Wish I could say that about the kitchen trash can! Hah! She has never met a chicken carcass she didn’t like! Anyway, we have not had an incident in a great many years, But I never tempt fate.

My Dutch/German Shepard can, and does swipe the bacon grease if I forget about it. Just did it yesterday. He doesn't go for anything else though, he's getting the puppy out of him, thankfully.

They all have their weakness, Hemi also watched me eat some asparagus out of the garden one evening. I came home next day and every stalk was grazed to the ground. She loves asparagus! But man what she won’t do for a chicken carcass.

Ok I’ll bite, first and foremost knives are very personal. What one individual sees as perfect another guy sees as a clunker. Me personally I like a solid mid size fixed blade. In the end it has to fit her hand. I do not care for the big Bowies. I have cut up more deer and elk with a “old timer” than you can imagine. But for camp work and versatility it is a bit to small. Get her a good fixed blade and she will pass it down to her children.
 
Survival style? No idea what that is. I've carried one of these for 30 years and wouldn't leave home without it. On my third one, lost one and wore one out. Gonna buy a new one soon. Just because.

AR-15 disassembly questions here for the in the know types.

I bought an armorer's tool and went to remove the buttstock on my PSA. Found it is staked in, and done very well. It can't just be twisted loose without very special tools. Although some Dremel work would get it I think. The reason for removal is I want to break the rifle down for motorcycle carry. Is this idea worth pursuing or am I starting out with the wrong type of rifle? Is it smart or reasonable to be removing the buttstock often on a standard AR?

Sure hang on, it's serious good staking. Makes me feel good that the rest of the rifle is likley built like that too.

Is the lower with butstock attached any shorter than the upper with barrel?
 
Glad you asked for pics. In reexaming, there are only 2 stakes. You can see how I tried to turn again them and sheer them off with no luck. A little more torque or a little Dremel work would do it. Then my question would be is removing the buttstock as easy as just removing the ring? Or is there more to it, like stuff inside falling out.
