CZ was the runner up

@@joellaurin9007ithe Cz ranger looked pretty cool to me, simple looking,

Sell something that you can do without? Make sure it doesn't belong to your wife!

@@Riflechair That would be like selling one of my kids! Now that mad wife on the other hand...

Mine was for sale on CGN and it wasn't cheap.

No they are not anymore. They added the plastic base so they can ship them more easily as the original TRG mags needed a special military arms export permit. These new one don’t work in a TRG either.

@Matt Robinson: it’s been at least a year since you posted this. I sure wish I’d seen it when it was "new". Which model did you decide to get? I bought an "entry level" Tikka, the T3x Lite in .223, which I then had put in a Boyd’s At-One laminate stock. I only shoot at the Range, & always with a friend. This is because of a spinal cord injury I had many years ago, and I need help to hang gongs/targets, to load & change the magazines et cetera. I’m able to operate the bolt action and I’m able to ring the 8" gong 3 times out of 4 @ 200 metres. I guess I’m a "bench shooter"-I don’t hunt-I’m shooting at either a steel or a paper circle & because I like to ask for the least amount of help possible, I like as high capacity a magazine as I’m able to get here in British Columbia, Canada. That’s the biggest difference between the Lite & the CTR. My T3x Lite came with a 4 round magazine, but the T3x CTR-which I SHOULD have ordered-holds 10. You’re looking for a hunting rifle, & 4 rounds are likely more than you need for your purposes. The flush-fitting, 4-round mag is a LOT easier to carry around and is perfectly balanced to carry around all day. It weighs half of the CTR’s ~10 pounds, (depending upon how heavy your scope is). Finding a Tikka with iron sights isn’t part of the past-if you can afford to get the Tikka T3x Arctic. That’s what the Canadian Rangers use & their requirements are extreme. From -35°C🥶to +35°C🥵, the Colt C-19/Tikka T3X Arctic are in an eye-catching orange, black & grey laminate stock that I could look at all day long. Strange but true. For the fan of "tactical" looking/Military & Police-"black"-rifle, there’s the TAC A1 & its swing-shut butt. *So…what did you choose AND are you entirely happy with that? Or, do you think you’ll save your money for another rifle? I hear great things about the Sig Sauer 3000 (sniper) rifle…

@@frufru0071 Hey, thanks for the reply! I was really looking for a hunting rifle so I went with the Tikka T3x lite.. its really nice and as you stated no real need to have 10 rounds in a hunting rifle. The CTR is nice and tougher I think but the weight and extra capacity doesn't really fit the purpose so I'm happy with my choice.. love Tikka regardless of what they have tho!

TIKKA CTR

I reckon it might be a Ron Brown 1907 target sling as he uses extra wide d- ring swivels.

I watched further into the video and he does advise about the sling. I was wrong as it is a simpler hunting sling. However the 1907 pattern sling would certainly do the Tikka justice. Ron Brown is in Georgia USA and has a web site.

Thanx John, the sling he uses for his Tikka is an old Swedish surplus sling. I bought one too as they are quite common here in Sweden where I live. However the extra wide sling swivels needed are near to impossible to find so I just went with a more modern sling.

Leatherwood HiLux CMR 1-4X24 - Great Scope

I like the rifle for what it is too Brian, thought several times to buy an "Arctic". It's allot of money for a rifle that's only 60% identical to the Canuk rifle. The sight is pretty awesome, but I think they would have been better served to install a singer type rear sight like the old No4 had.

@@cs-rj8ru You say only 60% same? Other than the color they appear to be the same to me. What is the difference? And I know you don't get the case and the tools that the rangers get that would also be nice for the price.

@@brianlee6849 other than the stock colour and the markings the rifles are identical so I don’t know what the guys talking about with 60%. I forgot to add the sling swivels on the C-19 are push button not the standard stun type found on the Arctic.

@@seamac7966 Yes that is what I thought also. I think it's a awesome rifle and will hold up to extreme use and weather the rangers have a winner in my opinion. But for me personally it's a little bit expensive. I wish I could buy the sights. Thanks

A take-off Tikka stock from Tikka Arctic.

@@vpenkov4908 where can I buy a stock like that?.. I can’t afford $2200 for the Arctic rifle, I’m hoping to make a clone!

It not the T3X Arctic it’s a regular CTR in a laminate stock.

I wish I knew with certainty.

RebelSandGaming I need to find good load for that 215gr Woodleigh bullet. There isn’t much data out there.

@@Riflechair so I've heard though if j remember they used to make em commercial for shop sales

@@RebelSandGaming Yes DOMINION used to make 215gr hunting ammo but I'm pretty sure this stopped in the late 70's or early 80's?

I knew we were in trouble in 2015.

Neatsfoot oil is a yellow oil rendered and purified from the shin bones and feet (but not the hooves) of cattle. "Neat" in the oil's name comes from an Old English word for cattle. Neatsfoot oil is used as a conditioning, softening and preservative agent for leather. In the 18th century, it was also used medicinally as a topical application for dry scaly skin conditions. "Prime neatsfoot oil" or "neatsfoot oil compound" are terms used for a blend of pure neatsfoot oil and non-animal oils, generally mineral or other petroleum-based oils.

​@@Riflechair Perfect. thank you. I have a few slings that I would like to treat to make better and this sounds like it'll do the trick!

@@jkhan337 works great on leather guitar slings too and go odour or greasy feel to it

@@Riflechair just ordered some for my mauser and M1 sling

Hey, this Tikka in the video is actually a base model CTR, and not the arctic/C19 version, i believe he has just put a laminated stock. Hope that cleared some things up :)

The Ruger’s mag negates the controlled round feed as the feed lips hold the cartridge until near the end of the loading stroke then as it pops out of the mag it can then be grabbed by the extractor not before. Ruger’s internal box mags don’t stop the controlled round feed from working as it should.

c s Definitely not a Boyd’s stock.

I doubt sako who makes their own walnut, carbon fiber and polymer stocks is importing laminate stocks from Boyd’s in the US to Finland to then turn around and export around the world

@@dangerranger4323 Ok, so it's not likely a boyds...But why do you find it unreasonable? CZ fits boyds stocks on rifles that it sells globally..I'd imagine CZ is a considerably larger company..... The concept in regards to import/export is quite common.

@@cs-rj8ru a solid point, but I don’t think cz has the stock making infrastructure that sako does, they make all their own stocks from plastic tikkas to carbon fiber sako carbonlights to hand rubbed walnuts in the sako customs. I’m also not sure cz is a bigger company. I’m assuming you’re talking about the tacticool 455? It’s a solid point I hadn’t considered for sure

Don't refer to this, as an assault rifle, or blackface will want it

Agreed

@@Riflechair recoil is about the same bolt length is the only diffrence some say 308 is more accurat i say they are about the same 3006 has less drop out to 300 yards

@@Riflechair i have shot moose at 400 yards with 06 with lots of remaining energy to knock them down

@@wilmamcdermott3065 I am interested in your opinion of this video Wilma. Give it a watch and your honest feedback? www.bitchute.com/video/Aev9b2FUFCdX/

@@Riflechair been in that situation a couple times bought my 1895 m 4570 in 1992 saved my ass a few times but quit useing it bought an sbl 4570 when i discoverd reminton had bought marlin out

Agreed. I use M590 12ga with 3" mag slugs or M1895 Marlin 45/70 with 400gr hard cast. This is more about a general purpose rifle that can do everything but maybe not so well.

The T3X Arctic is expensive this is a Tikka CTR half the price of the Arctic.

@@seamac7966 what does artic have over ctr?

@@InstinctiveFirearmReviews stainless steel rifle with excellent diopter sights for use out to 600m, the barrel is a heavier weight than the CTR I’m told and the laminate stock is better for the cold climates they say.

@@seamac7966 Ya, I'm aiming for either tikka t3x super varmint 308 or tac , tac a1

@@InstinctiveFirearmReviews the tac a1 is a CTR barrelled action in that nice chassis system.
