Tikka T3 Thread

[beetroot]

1-8” stainless T3 Varmint.

75 gr ELDM

2915 fps

Same model, my brother’s rifle, 2927 fps.

Barrels are 23.6”.

Have you tried any heavier bullets or just the 75s?

 

[260284]

Does anyone have a 223 CTR or Varmint with a 24" barrel that can comment what velocity can be achieved with 70-90gr projectiles?
And can comment what the heaviest projectile they can run in the 8t barrel, I'm guessing 80.5gr Bergers are the best bet?

Was planning to rebarrel my Tikka but might just buy a 24" factory rifle.

I have a Varmint that I had threaded for a suppressor. 75gr ELDM at 2.49" (AICS mags) with NAMMO 5.56 brass and H4895, 3025 fps.

80gr ELDm are hit or miss with the Tikka 8 twists from researching various forums.

Just the 75 ELDM. I have a bunch of 77 TMK (thanks, Rokslide) but the 75 shoots so well I haven’t tried them.

This is my concern as well. I don’t see the benefit of 5 grains and slightly better BC.

It ain’t a 22-250.

Also 75gr ELDM's loaded to 0.020" off the lands, 2910 fps. At 2925 start getting ejector marks on Lapua brass.

T3x Supervarmint.

Where / Who would I contact for the availability for a replacement bolt for a T3X. I want a LH bolt with a .223 head to replace the bolt with a .308 head.
Thank you

I don’t believe Beretta will sell that to you.

So:

1. either in the “take off/part out” used market (single seller in the PX, rokslide, eBay or like https://jaoutdoors.com/)
2. Midwest Gun Works (example, NOT the one you want: https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/s1411307)
3. or there’s a Canadian dude who makes them.

Tikka T3 Bolt Body — PRPrecision - tikka bottom metal

Couple Tikka’s single action length with the increase in pre-fit and factory take-off barrels on the market today, aftermarket bolt bodies have been the final missing link to full, switch barrel capability on the Tikka platform. My T3 bolt bodies are CNC machined from 4340 and Nitrided for excellen

Too bad you’re not a righty:

During a cursory search I didn’t see a left-handed model in stock. In fact, their 9.6 (.223) model for lefties seems like it has the wrong description?

My local smith will not do with barrel thickness less than .685-.750 or so. I have to find someone that can do that or a reputable updated barrel that comes with thread. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Send it to Kampfeld, Karl will thread 5/8x24 with a collar.

How does a smith do that, technically? I know they successfully can do that with a pencil barrel, but have never researched how. I’m just curious.

 

[aprocast]

It’s not difficult, it is just like adding a jamb nut

 

[Eo12]

Just posting for those that may be looking for one. Rusty nuts designs has these flat triggers for the tikka. Got one for all my rifles.

Possibly better leverage for a lighter consistent trigger pull. Personal preference on looks but it seems to feel more predictable also when taking the shot.

I bought a t3x lite 300wm - then found the mag is only 3.350 shorter than even a sav mag. I read through some post here on aics mags and bottom metal where you cut the trigger face down and notch feed ramp -or not- to get to 3.500- sav mag length. which is still too short imo. maybe I didnt read enough post or misunderstood - is there no other options ? if not I may sell it without shooting it and move on back to Remington. any advice appreciated tia

 

[david walter]

I have a bunch of 6.5 Creedmoors, including three Tikkas. Double shoulder surgery led to me dropping down in calibers.

I have a T3 stainless in 7mm Mag. Which I don’t need. Should I

1. Trade bolts and make it into a standard bolt face with a custom barrel like a 6Creed or XC

2. Rebarrel to some other magnum

3. Sell the barrel and think on it.

4. Sell it

5. Open to ideas.

I have a 7mag that I never really shoot either. Was thinking of turning it into a 22cm. I have a 6cm and 6.5cm too.

Sell it and buy an appropriate action, no brainer, you can’t stretch it.

Once again, sell it, and buy or build something you want, don’t throw good money after bad

Put a 6.5 PRC barrel on it, recoil isn't that bad compared to a 6.5 Creedmoor.

 

[david walter]

@260284,

Thought about that. And came away with the 6.5 Creedmoor does everything I want, and nothing that I don't want, and any speed advantages to the 6.5 PRC happen way past where I'll probably shoot when hunting.

Just selling it won out.

Well don’t leave us in suspense, what did you buy?

Factory barreled CTR’s that both shoot real well. A 20 and 24” deep spiral fluted to give me some wiggle room for NRLHunter open light division.
