re: Deer rifle upgrade

You really need to put some trigger time in with that gun before you take it out to hunt. The roughtechs have a little more arse than a standard T3x lite due to the slightly heavier barrel contour, but that’s still going to be about a 7.5 lb setup with magnum recoil. YouTube how to adjust the trigger weight down, it takes about 30 seconds, action screws should be retorqued to 45 in-lbs. Do not be afraid to add weight to the rifle until you’ve gotten used to shooting it.
Every single team in the country is reliant on the portal if they want to be in serious contention. No matter what position you think we need, there’s another team that believes it’s the one piece that will get them a natty. The market will set the price for the players.

I know one thing for certain, if the rumor had any truth to it that frank was telling kids not to sign with LSU because he wouldn’t be there, he wouldn’t be employed today.

Odds are frank was asked if he could guarantee he would be on staff after the bowl game, and he replied I can’t promise you that.

Stop feeding corn. You can trap 90% of them and they will repopulate within the next year. If you feed, the coons are gonna get theirs.

I have the 4-16x44 and for my uses it’s a damn near perfect hunting scope, maybe it needs a little brother

Im not talking about headspace. I'm talking about concentricity.


So basically people think since Remington went to shite such that r700 clones had to be made, that there must be something to fix on a tikka.

The threads on the barrel will perfectly match those on the action resulting in superior accuracy. Can't do that in your garage.


As the manufacturer of the bare action there is no way they can control that anymore than it already is if they aren’t making and installing the barrel. Stock tikka actions are machined so precisely that there are 20 different prefit barrels on the market that will spin on and headspace perfectly. That’s why rokslide loves them.

Again, I can go buy a stainless donor on euro optic today for $700, and pick from a dozen barrels that will shoot bug holes. What about that is broke that needs fixing with an action that will cost twice as much to best case be just as good? Rokslide is creaming over the idea of them making a mini action, and they’ve already said they aren’t cause they can’t and it would be way too expensive.

The only two gripes anyone ever has about a tikka are the two position safety, and that all actions are one length. If they go fricking with either of those they may find out real fast why they’re made that way.

My next build will be on a tikka clone action called the raven being developed right now


I don’t understand what they’re trying to accomplish here. You can buy a stainless tikka with a great trigger for $700 and change the barrel in your garage. They’re supposedly going to have BAT make it, so it’ll cost twice that at least, with no trigger. Best case it’s as good as the tikka you could have started with. What am I missing?

Steal? Stop it lol. You bought him.


I get that you’re a salty pig fan who hired some nobody today and it’s hard for you to relate but that’s the best part, we paid about what anyone else would have paid him, something else made him say I can win more there besides guaranteed money.
How tf you spell Kiffin right and Saban wrong
It’s not a compliment. I’ve seen LSU get their arse kicked, but when it was a little brother like aTm doing the kicking, things mobilized.
I remember watching them dance around the empty husk of tiger stadium that night feeling like this was unacceptable and something had to change. When Kelly got fired it was obvious some money guys felt the same.

Thing is it could have ended there. That buyout was a big pill, and I wouldn’t blame any donor for saying I did my part.

They didn’t. Whether it was the same donors or others, two things should excite every LSU fan:

We can afford Kiffin after what just went down with Kelly

What made him come will likely be financial support that isn’t pure salary. If you think about it, everyone courting him would have paid him 10-12MM a year, that’s the game. The contract terms aren’t crazy BK guaranteed money; whatever we offered him that made him say yes has to be a combo of NIL, support/staff, control, and facilities contributions that no one else could pass the red face test on.

So thanks aTm, losing to you like that was a bridge too far that woke up a drowsy donor base and reinvigorated this program.
I was really skeptical this was actually going to happen just because of how rare it has been for the big public target to actually be the hire. Throw in the appearance of chaos with the governor and things were looking bleak.

I think it begs the question, despite all that, things were presented to Lane that made him think this is a place he could plant his flag. That’s not just salary, Florida or even OM would have paid him, it has to be things like NIL, salary for support/staff, degree of control, and facility improvements. If this was all packaged in a way that Lane and Sexton both believed it wasn’t bullshite, that should excite LSU fans.

Doesn’t he have like one buyout payment left?


Please God let Orgeron be the first coach in history to have a buyout payment be offset from salary paid by the same school.

re: Austin Thomas was excited.

Posted by TheDrunkenTigah on 11/30/25 at 7:28 pm to
For all any of us know Thomas could have played a role in getting Lane here. I suspect there’s no hatchet to bury and we bout to see the support staff get turned up to 11, and that’s why LK is here.

I don’t understand the appeal of growing deer that look like that, might as well be a different species. I guess if it was possible they would breed them, but give me a big typical with mass.
