Tikka T3 bolt handle question....

[josh1982]

Apologies if my Google-fu failed me but I'm wondering if anyone out there has run the UK Gunworks cranked T3 bolt handle and if so, was it much different good or bad compared to Hinterland Shooters handle for said curve? I'm liking the idea of the slight curve in the handle but cant really tell from the pics on their webpage how much different it is to a straight handle. Also curious about fit and finish before I settle on one. Haven't had an opportunity to see either in person.

I ordered the straight handle one for my Scout. It took forever to come in and was a little oversized to slip right into the bolt body. The whole rig is currently at BlackOps Precision right now getting put together and they were going to trim it down to fit it in. So I don't have any experience with it other than that. Can update you once I get it back which shouldn't be that much longer.

I have both. The UK Gunworks feels better because of the curve. The finish and fit are the same between the two. If I was to get another Tikka, I'd buy the Gunworks.

I just ordered the swept ball handle from this guy: Tikka T3 Bolt Handles - CNC'd Titanium & Stainless - Shooting.com.au

I got a tikka t3 sporter I will be using for NRA highpower so the swept ball is what I went it. I will show pictures when I get it in and installed.

I saw that one too on another forum and I may still order that one just to try it, or have it give me an excuse to buy another Tikka. Either way...

Hey,
I'm that guy (that has produced some CNC'd bolt handles in Stainless, Aluminium and Titanium).

The swept handles are available straight too if anyone wanted to try bend their own. I bend them in a jig after hitting them with a blowtorch right on the bend point.

Hope you are happy with yours Thauglor!

Cheers,
John.

[MENTION=60573]cannoncrossfire[/MENTION], do you have a webpage you can link me and the others too that might be interested in what you have for sale?

 

[cannoncrossfire]

Hey mate,
I'm in the process of getting a webpage up to show what I've got, and somewhere for people to contact me.
Here are some more pics of what I've got available: Tikka T3 Bolt Handles - CNC'd Titanium & Stainless - Shooting.com.au

I also do hardened Stainless recoil lugs for Tikka's. Looking at doing some Titanium bolt shrouds - just finalising the design.
I've also made Trigger guards and bolt handles for CZ452's in the past too. Open to requests/ideas too. Email address on that linked page.

Unfortunately i've run out of Pineapple handles at this stage. All other designs are available still.

Not trying to advertise here, but open to any questions and PM or email if you want to talk.
