I put one on my tikka. It works great. I did have to use a dremel. I wouldn't worry about excess play. I received two o rings with mine and they are what keeps the bolt lift tight and in place.

I got into long range shooting a few years ago with a .308 which today is still my only bolt gun. If you already have reloading gear I would say go 7mm-08. The factory match ammo for .308 will be cheaper and more plentiful. I believe that if you reloaded 7mm-08 or 260rem would also be an...

Re: Triad Saturday Contest (12-17-2011) Is it close to 186 yards? Multicam databook cover

Re: Bushnell Elite 10x40 or SWFA super sniper 10x40? The SS 10xHD is by far the better scope. I would have gotten one if I had not scored such a deal on my bushnell. Even the SS 10x without the better glass has an advantage. But I'm a big cost/benefit person and got my bushnell 3200 10x for...

Re: Tikka T3 CTR Scout .308: Help picking scope You should be able to get a bushnell elite 4200 mil/mil for around that amount. The 3200 I have on my scout is really nice for what I paid and will suit the job until I buy a Mark 4. Unfortunately I a reloading kit to buy before then.

I was helping someone out on another thread and wound up spotting This Stock on the brownells website. I accounted for the other stocks and what rifles they belong to, but not sure about this one. I was wondering if one of our overseas friends that can actually buy a sporter can help us out...

Re: Where to find a Tikka T3 stock? Brownells distributes parts for Beretta USA. Beretta Parts @ Brownells If they don't have it online Beretta says to call Brownells.

Re: Tikka T3 Tactical value? robbobsam, We all realize the accuracy of Tikka's. That's why we own them. No one was questioning the quality of the T3 platform merely the resale value of a T3 Tac given the other options available from Baretta.

I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a T3 aluminum bedding block available. Would I have to get it made custom? I already have a KRG stock which is excellent for the range, but a little cumbersome when it comes to the woods. I would love a Manners stock for hunting. Planning my rifle...

Re: Tikka T3 Tactical value? Well...since its up for sale...it doesn't happen to be a 300wm by any chance does it? Also, doesn't the tac come with a 24" barrel?

Re: New 6.5x47 and Hensoldt Very nice. Any idea of the MV you are getting with that load. What is recoil like with that chambering?

Re: out of the box .308? Tikka T3 Scout, Super Varmint, or Varmint preferably. Other T3's shoot as well but these have heavy barrel contours and different coatings. Picked up scout for 860 out the door and loved it. Course I also put an 850 stock on it. The factory stock will work if...

Re: My 260 build... I have to say I like the paint as well. Came out great for doing it yourself. Great to hear it shoots well. Slick looking rifle. How far does it hold it accuracy? I'm looking at a doing a tikka in 260 or one of the 6.5 chamberings next year.

Re: Tikka T3 Tactical value? I would say you would sell it quickly at $950. That's a fair price in my non expert opinion. I wound up getting the scout because of the price difference but probably would have bought a used tac for that price. I'd start a little higher to give yourself some...

Re: Tikka T3 Tactical value? I can get one locally for around 1400. I wouldn't value it quite at 1200 just for my personal preferences. You have some things working against you like the factory stock being so so and the barrel threads being metric. Keep in mind that a scout is very similar...
