i believe jail time is what you get if you lose your gun.

Why would someone go to jail if their gun was stolen or lost when the canoe tipped over in a deep lake?
Good Score if your into Tika.

Kinda harsh, but I suppose the Rangers are subject to military discipline too!

 

[wayupnorth]

im sure that is just what they tell us to keep us from losing our rifles.
but, i also dont what to lose my rifle to find out.

So during qualification did you notice lots of mag feed issues?

 

[SHELL SHUCKER]

Kinda neat looking rifle fer sure, but I would be happier with the PCMR version meself.

 

[BeaverMeat]

I like the red colour in the stock over the orange of the commercial version.

 

[KND]

Wow ! Looking good.

yes.
crappy springs?
for $150 a mag you'd think they would be flawless.

 

[wayupnorth]

i cant get over how similar the rifle is to my Ruger Scout.
gonna pull them both out tomorrow and compare them side by side.

 

[homeboy1]

Didn't we the taxpayer, go in excess of $4000 a unit for those? So is there a fix for the poor mags or does the end user just have to put up with the problems?

 

[robab]

In your opinion was this a good choice for the Rangers and did the bureaucratic military procurement process actually work ? I believe the Harper gov was behind this one. Very slick rifle.

Love it, I was thinking of buying a Tikka

I have a fix for mine. You look online at the Tikka mag issues and these are the same. Nose of the mag drops and the spring is weak/poorly designed. Ideal fix will take time. The rifle itself is a huge upgrade from the 303 and the mag issue should not tarnish the rest of the packages quality. If you like Tikka then you will like this gun. My best qualification shoot ever even with mag issues.

Nice winter camo.

It really should... this gun should feed 100%, pure and simple or recall and start again. Why they didn’t buy Rugers and specificy a metal trigger guard, and a pelican case for $1500 all up probably less in a bulk buy, boggles my mind. Then again the government... and these people choose helicopters and jets too.

Sounds cynical I’m happy for the OP, and that they’re buying new rifles / committing to the rangers. But let’s get rifles that work.
