Holy cow!! The 3 of those are beautiful! Those are some amazing groups. I really enjoyed that. Good shooting, all of y'all. Specially after open heart surgery. Good stuff

Well that was some great shooting, and you certainly live up to your name. Outstanding!!

First video I've watched, great job! Looking forward to many more!

Quickly becoming my favorite channel! Keep it up!

I’m just having fun going back through these older videos. Always so informative.

Absolutely love the channel - learn a lot with every video. Please consider TX for your classes. We have some great long-range facilities in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex!

Awesome versus rifle video !!!!!!!!!! Thanks for showing them, X-Ring. My favorite rifle that i own is my Fathers Browning Medallion A-bolt with the BOSS system on the front of it. Also my Browning BAR 1970 in 30-06 !!!!!!!!

I like how you preach fundamentals they go a long way in precision rifle shooting. Thank you for making great content for us.

I have my very first left-handed bolt gun on the way. It's just a cheap 22LR, but it's a start. :) You always have the coolest gear, and know how to use them. Finishing the video now, cheers brother!

Man, I would love to know how that class went. Not many instructors on KZfaq that I’d actually like to learn from, but you’re definitely one of the ones I would. I practically built my rifle with your videos

So glad you did this! The tikka and Remington are two I’m looking at!

Enjoyed the video. You are humble too, you hid the AI in the back when you had all three on the table. :) I picked up a PCR in 308, can't wait to take it out.

Awesome Video Brother! Congratulations on your upcoming classes!👊🏼 Carry On

12 lucky folks to get hands on training. Thats awesome your teaching!

I once blew off a pasty, was promptly removed from the establishment 😀 recently subbed on kotaboy recommendation. Love your videos, fellow North Carolinian

Remington still going strong!! Thank you great video. People always clown on my Remington 700 until they see how it groups.

Just wanted to say thanks for making this video. I was on the fence on buying a pcr in 260 and after watching your video I decided to go with one. Today I got the chance to test it and out of 4 groups of 5 my worst was .42" with the 143eld-x. Thanks For the review!

Good stuff. Looked into both the tikka and pcr when I got my first long range rig. Both are good.

Will add Sam to my prayer list. NICE shooting guys!! Thanks for sharing. God Bless..

I couldn’t get a Tika in 6.5 in a chassis so bought one in a plastic stock. I was able to get a chassis system with a folding stock and went from 1/2” groups at 100 to 3/8”. My RPR is in a 308 and shoots 1/2” all day. My Remington 700 is in a 1.5 AI chassis with a Kreiger barrel and in 300 WM. It shoots 1/2” groups as well. As soon as all the hoopla and dust settles looking at a bolt rifle in a 6mm ARC and making an AR upper in 6mm ARC. The gun I’ve shot the best is actually a Thompson Compass II chambered in a 223 with 5R rifling and reloads of 24.7 grains of Varget and 55 grain fmjbt. But I shoot this rifle much more often than the others. After I found out that the tika barrels are glued in, I slowed down on shooting as I have about 2000 rounds through the original barrel. If replacing barrels on the Tika what do you recommend as a replacement barrel?

OOOrah motivating! Good stuff. Just getting back into distance shooting.

Think the biggest thing people worry about getting into long range shooting is what rifle to pick. They normally buy this 2-3k rifle with 400 dollar glass. My opinion and most opinion would be to buy expensive good glass and get a rifle like a predator or stock Remington 700. Most rifles out their shoot sub moa

Nice shooting Ray. Thanks for sharing.

Another great shoot keep up the good work

I purchased a Remington pcr in .308 about a year ago and it came with m-lok hand guard.

Outstanding! I love Tikkas and I'm glad Remmy is stepping back up

Excellent shooting ! 👍

Very nice, fine shooting as always I ran a 20" .308 TAC A1 for awhile, that i also had a RG2 on, and absolutely loved it. Pretty phenomenal value imo, really let me step up my bolt gun game. Did end up getting rid of it to get a CTR that i put in a German Gun Stock, and have been extremely pleased with that as well. Cant say my groups improved any, but i wanted something light weight. ~.4moa is the best i can squeeze out of mine consistently, with FGMM and Prime+ 175gr. Yodave trigger spring is a very worthwhile $10 investment, bringing that pull down to the 1lb area if desired. Tikka makes some really excellent rifles that fill the factory void, before you get into the top tier stuff. AI is definitely my dream rifle. Love em. Someday.

OMG 😳 thanks for the invite!!! WTH 12 students. I am jealous. I would fly out there from Las Vegas to North Carolina a lesson from X-ring. Another thing, if you have anymore scopes lying around let me know I’ll buy it off of you. Well in fact, have a garage sale KZfaq style LMAO 😆 Ah Sam, God Bless you and take care you all.

Great review. I've been shooting a Tikka T3X TAC A1 in 6.5 CM for the past two years and have been incredibly happy with it. With the right loads, easy to shoot .350 groups consistently. Is it worth thousands more to pay for smaller clover leaf groups? That's for the individual shooter to decide. With a kid still in college, for the money I'm more than happy with the Tikka :) The RPR is no slouch, either. Keep the reviews coming!

Just found your channel. Its amazing. You sir can shoot!! Thinking about a precision rifle next, from Tikka n Bergara hunting rifles. Thx for passing on the knowledge.

Tikka T# TAC A1 in 6.5 CRDM rifles are shipped to the US with a 5/8 x 24 thread pitch for standard muzzle break/suppressor mount. The metric threads are distributed in Europe and maybe Canada.

I have hunted for over 40 years and have a wood stock as well as fiberglass and synthetic never had a wood stock swell and i have hunted in some wet weather in Newfoundland

I’m an ex Aussie Para/Infantryman, I honestly think I could get some great tips of you which would benefit myself as a precision rifleman .. I’m going to subscribe to your channel 👍

Love the video, I was really happy when you went back and shot all 3 yourself to compare instead of having 3 different shooters. How do you think the Remington compares to the Ruger precision rifle and the Savage 110 ba stealth?

Would be cool to Fly over there from Australia to do one of your courses. Really enjoyed the video 💪

I love my tikka tac A1, do want to try the PCR now too. Thanks

Hi Ray, awesome video and shooting, love the AX. Btw what’s the headband you using with your MSA sordin? Thanks!

X-Ring I like your gun & shooting videos because you give real stuff. With honest opinions and solid results..No matter what they are or who the manufacturer is..Not Pimping for The Company..I appreciate that about you unlike some others that no matter what they are showing its the latest greatest thing. What brand of trigger would you suggest to swap out for the Rem. 700 PCR 6.5 CM ? TriggerTech Diamond or is there something better? Thanks

Hopefully this is a sign of things to come from Remington. Nice shooting.

Thanks for bringing in more budget friendly stuff. Hard to play with these kinds of things on a LEO paycheck.

What Up XRING! Appreciate your videos and the knowledge brother keep it up. I wanted your .02 Cents on a couple questions , what do you think are top 3 Long Range Precision Rifles out the box? And if you could have a custom set up what would you choose?

I got my pcr for $812 in .260 rem and put a Nikon fx1000 on it. I love the barrel that’s in it. My first time out with it I got .30 moa with h4350 and hornady eld-x and no real work put in to my loads I just ladder loaded by .5gr and seated to the magazine. The only thing I didn’t like about the gun is the chassis it’s self my finger wanted to drag the bottom of the trigger and trigger guard unless I gripped it weird I also didn’t like having to use high rings so on Black Friday I bought a lssxl chassis for it. The x mark trigger is ok , the screw sucks but the trigger is better than my dads early 90s 700 with a trigger job but not as good as the xmark on my wifes 2015 700 adl. I also put a 3 prong muzzle device on it just to protect the crow because I took it hunting this year and got a 6 point.

I love the 280 AI was a Awesome Round! want to do the 7mm PRC 7mm mag now!!!

Loads of Fun

Hello X Ring, Thank you for a great review off these rifles. What rifle would you chose I have being looking at the Christensen Arms MPR Master Piece Arm BA. I was also looking at the 3 rifles that you where doing a review on. There is so many to chose from. Thank you for your time doing these videos for us.

Nice video, I love my Tikka!

I'm always blown away how good this guy is at shooting

Good stuff. Great set of tools there. Ever need range assist or camera man let me know

I love my Tik Tac except the trigger didn’t adjust low enough for my liking. Ordered a Mountain Tactical spring for $9 and it made it adjustable to a level that fits my preferred pull weight. Shoots .41 MOA with factory Savage TRG 136 grain. Can’t ask for much more from a factory rifle.

Ray you make the rifles look good I’ll say

Those are 12 lucky people! Very great rifles!!! I know Shooting with pain, but Shooting with a healing sternum OUCH!!!!

Nice shooting!

I have put BCM keymod rail sections on my pcr without any issues. I have an atlas bipod mounted to the nylon BCM rail section and the keymod has never slipped in the squaredrop.

Great video! What scope was paired with the Remington? Thanks!

Please keep us posted on your classes!! I keep noticing you don’t have to brake the bank to get a good group on paper.

.140 group ... HOLY CRAP ... that's AWESOME !!!

This is the only Chanel I trust.

Love my Tikka mine chambered in 260 Rem

And it's Ray for the WIN !!!

Just picked up a PCR for $700 excited to see how I perform with it.

Very nice shooting sir's & sir

Could you do a short video about the knob on the left of the scope and how to use it properly? Or maybe point me in the direction of where to find that information.

It’s awesome that rick bought the tikka been thinking about. @ LR rifle and I have heard those are the best bang for the buck

The Man, The Myth, The Legend

Just curious, what about the Remington 40X using 6.5 Creedmoor as I hear the MOA is tighter than the Remington 700 PCR?

Awesome reviews, nice work! One question, i wanna get a rifle that can double as a hunting and range rifle, do you think i can hunt with the Ruger pr? Or would you suggest the Ruger Precision Hunter?

X-Ring..great video and reviews I have both rifles and I have had pretty much the same results.I purchased the Remington 700 PCR for two reasons.Reliability and Price. I got it for $800.00 Then later on I got the same Tikka you have because I read so many good reviews and got caught up in the hype. Well My Remington out shoots it every time.Both are in 6.5 CM And I've got the more expensive scope on the Tikka..a better Bipod and it doesnt matter if it's me behind the Tikka or my buddy.The cheap Rem. PCR dusts Tikkas ass. Why is that,? I know you are way more knowledgeable and a better marksman than myself so I'd really like your theory

The PCR🤯

Yesterday i hit a soda can at 1,004 yards in just three shots and was guessing on my DOPE on the first shot. Just incredible. The weekend before i was 2/9 at 1,850 yards on 18" competition steel and hit a milk jug at 1,400 with relative ease. Since the soda can in 3 shots at 1,004 yards was so dang easy i'm going for 1,400 yard soda can hit in 10 shots next week. I CANNOT say enough good things about the Tikka T3X TAC A1 in 6.5 Creedmoor. Now i want one in .308 Recently got my first Kestrel.. now i just have to figure out how to use the dang thing.

My Tac A1 averages around .3MOA with hand loads. Lol @ cold bore shot comment... it’s cold shooter. Only time I’ve ever noticed a difference across all my rifles is when the bore is clean.

Great review! Thank you! I grew up hunting with bow and arrow, rifle and blow gun in Texas. Sadly, I now live in maryland😥. I go to the pistol range a lot but I want to get into precision long range shooting. Once I finish nursing school next year I will only be able to buy one rifle. And I'm leaning toward the Tikka. I'm left handed and have always shot with right handed rifles. Mostly because that's how I grew up and the military didn't have any left handed rifles for me either. Do you think shooting that way would present a problem in precision shooting?

I would love to hear you comparison on triggers, Timney vs the Tikka stock trigger, Im on the fence between the Tikka and a Bergara HMR Pro so if you have any input on that would love to hear it as well.

Do you have a website up for when you will be doing classes?

How much does that Remington weigh? I have a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 creedmore and I love that thing, but it's a heavy rifle. Great for when I shoot for fun, but not sure it would be such a good option for long range precision matches which I'm looking to get into later this year. I like the 6.5 CM platform but not wondering what a good competition rifle would be without breaking the bank (up to say $1200 or so for just the rifle, not including optics of course). Or would it be better to just save the money and use my RPR for matches?

I would love to see a repeat of this matchup but with f class scoring. 3/4 shot groups allow too much luck, bring on the three sets of 20 :)

Nice shooting

Nice shooting! What do you think about the Christiansen Arms Mesa in 6.5 Creedmoor? I know it’s not a chassis gun but it only weights in at about 6.5 lbs.

Thank you for the free info. I own a custom Tikka CTR and love it's groups but I must let the viewers know that the proprietary mags the CTR and Tact A1 use are problematic and outrageously expensive. I paid $220 + 13% tax and shipping for 1 extra mag here in Canada a year ago when I bought the rifle, and one of them has already stopped feeding and won't hold a round after only 500-600 rounds. I contacted the distributer and was basically told to pound sand ! Typical Canadian customer service. I ended up buying printed mags for $35 that work fine. C'mon Tikka the rifles are already way more expensive than comparable factory models that shoot just as well or better. I looked into the Rem PCR but the Magpul model is the Fuggliest rifle ever and the front rail is useless and also fuggly and other variations are non existent up here so I am looking into the Sig Cross they are a $1130 cheaper here than the Tikka.

My Remington 700 magpul shoots better than I ever could. Trying to get the new pcr enhanced!

Awesome

The new version PCR comes with an MLOK rail so I’m definitely interested in using that as a decent entry recommendation for guys. Just curious- did you do your normal break in for the PCR (since it’s not your rifle) to end up with those groups. Cheers!

Hello. I appreciate your channel. I have what may be an unusual question. I've bought many many rifles but this is my first bolt action, and I went with the Remington 700 PCR in 6.5 Creedmoor after viewing your vids. The bolt shows a lot of wear including the black coating and the entire bolt and gun is dirty and has brass flakes all over. I sent photos over to Remington but they are taking days to get back to me. I've never been sold a new gun that clearly looks used. Is it possible that just a few rounds at the factory would cause the bolt to start to show silver through the coating? I have some AR's that I've shot a few hundred rounds through and the BCG's don't look nearly as used as the PCR does. The gun was New in the box and was shipped to my local FFL. I'm very disappointed. Please advise. Thank you.

Nice shooting fellas. Ray can the hand guard on Remington be swapped out for another brand ?

We have not seen the Remington rifle yet here in Ga. Ray what is the cost for the class those are going to fill fast and how long will it be

nice shooting guys

I am curious to know if the velocity was the same in all three rifles? I have an omega 300 suppressor and it changes the velocity. on my rifles an average of 50 feet per second.

Not a fan of Remington but you can't deny the results. Are the training classes going to be closed session or will you have video insight (tips) for us KZfaqrs subscribers?

Great video, but if you are trying to compare the rifles you should have the same shooter shoot all 3 guns for consistency, or you might as well use different ammo

Please review the Savage Elite Precision 110!

In the Remington PRC what trigger was installed and what scope is used??? I want to replicating your rifle build. Thanks ... Great shOOting!

Hi there thanks for the valueble review, i like to ask , when i are you trowing the next course for beginners , i live in south florida. But i love to join your courses , thanks so much .

The 3 R;s rockin it as nice job......I know your class will do well.....Good stuff....

I have a long tom 303 pre 1914 with a 5 R barrel & my mate has a 2R barrel 303 SMLE .

How does your software compute "mean radius"? Great shooting.

Would any of those rifles be any good for hunting?

Results simply depend on which rifle the handloads were worked up for..

Hi Ray, I was planning to get a Tikka T3X but seeing your results on Rem PCR and an enhanced version with M-LOK is available now I’m struggling to decide. Do you think this particular Rem is an exception or is it possible that Rem finally improved its production process and can deliver the accuracy consistently?

Which specific Timney trigger did you put on the PCR?

Why do you choose to grip (thumb on opposite side) verses (thumb on the same side)? Are you softly holding the grip or firmly? The main question I'm trying to get at is how are you not adding sympathetic contractions with your thumb while "isolating the trigger manipulation?" Thank you in advance! Great shooting!
