Got any photos of your Tikka ? That almost sounded like a euphemism..... When I bought my Browning 243, it was between that and the Tikka T3 Ultralight. I thought the Tikka had a better trigger, and was featherlight. But the Browning felt more solid and better made. Still, love me a Tikka
Mine is with my GS getting chopped down and suppressed, I will post pics once its back together. I also have an aftermarket bottom metal coming for it. There will be no plastic on this rifle except the stock which will eventually be replaced with a carbonfibre one. Over here Tikkas are probably the most popular hunting rifle and they are replacing the rem 700 for custom builds.
Some new cammy trousers, paid Willow a deposit on a new tarp, a little alcohol stove, some cheap line tensioners and Ti tent pegs.
The Knife Connection. They make contoured G10 scales for all the ESEE knives. Big comfort improvement and a lot of people use them.
You and me both. Sheaths will generally for factory or TKC scales but if you're gonna use those awesome knives I'd look into a set or 2, especially for the 4 and 6
Welcome Allen! That is an impressive collection! I agree on the TKC scales - I have a set for my 6 and one 4 and they fit my hand like a glove. If you plan on using those blades to use for kydex sheaths/templates, then I would definitely pick up some TKC scales. It will allow you to give options to your customers, and make the sheath match if they have Stock or TKC scales. The TKC scales have more of a rounded contour near the front choil/finger guard compared to the stock scales, which are flatter along each face.
Sandalwood Beard Comb - smells like sweet Pine resin + sawmill combo. Super nice aroma. Works great on my beard.
