Remington or Tikka varminters

Most of the new synthetic materials are not plastic... plastic is a term used by the uninformed to describe a product they know nothing about.:rolleyes:
More synthetic parts are being used in modern firearms all the time. The marketplace wants lighter, durable and less expensive firearms... "ALL" the manufacturers are building many new model firearms this way now.;)
 
Nope, plastic is NOT a definition of a material, its a decsription of a process.

The common idea of a plastic is a polymer that can be remelted or reshaped. This type is called thermoplastic.

Thermoset plastic cannot be reshaped or remelted. Of course technology has come along way since Bakelite.

Now to tease BIGREDD for a sec [I just can't stop myself :D] Introducing the
NEW Bakelite T3

Ok, so a T3 it is (my original choice)

Next question.... .223 or .308? Intended use would be for some small varminting, but mostly target, let's say 25/75%

My guess would be .223 for cost reasons...does that sound right?
 
The plastic on the T3, as well as the upside down recoil lug was enough for me to stay away from the T3. I went with the LTR 308. It has been a solid performer, but did come with its own set of quirks. For instance the trigger was set at about 10 lbs. It was simple to tune it to 4(kept high for hunting), and a quirk that I knew about going in, but still odd. I shoot it often(averaging 150 rounds a week since I got it), and am confident with it.

That said, my buddy has a t3 varmint. It is quite accurate as well. The recoil lug/stock/receiver link still always seams odd to me. Maybe I just don't understand it, but a lug directly linked to a barreled receiver sitting in devcon seams better to me.
