Agree that Tikka is the best off the shelf rifle going. Bought the 6.5 Cm and its awesome. I've narrowed my big game hunting rifles down to 2, the Tikka for deer sized critters and smaller and a custom 300 win mag for the bigger stuff. Very happy as simple is better at least for me.
Stuck with having to convert my Paramount to iron sights, I chose to forgo CVA warranty and have my gunsmith tap the muzzle for a Williams sight. I don't shoot hot loads and really not worried I'll need the warranty.
What's the purpose in defining where animals are harvested? It's very simple, to properly manage the critters taken in said unit, not complicated imo. Where the shot originated is irrelevant, infringing on private property is another issue.
I'm happy with my Havalon, it's true that sometimes I need a second blade on an elk. No trash left in the feild ever !!! You guys got me thinking about the need to get one quality knife from RELH to pass on to my son.
I'll start with the one critter Not to eat Ibex!! My dog wouldn't eat it.
Lots of great wildgame , probably 80% of the meat we eat is from the feild excluding chicken.
1. Elk
2. Moose
3. Whitetails
4. Mule Deer , not sagebrush kills
5.Antelope
6. Barbary sheep
Haven't ever tried mtn...
Took a look. Curious how you secure antlers, thats a big hole at the pedicule. The website doesn't have any details that I saw about how antlers attach. Does kit come with screw/bolt hardware?
