    Tikka T3 Thread

    Ive got a CTR that has the same issue. I had contacted customer service and had the rifle sent in to be inspected. They were very responsive and put it through a thorough inspection with a two week turn around. End result is that it was within spec and “is what it is”. I haven’t been able to...

    Tikka T3x CTR Issue

    Well I wanted to follow up with everyone to detail how this all shook out. I received the rifle back from Beretta in roughly around two weeks only to find out they stated everything was as it should be and that the shavings around the firing pin were normal from the staking process. The...

    Tikka T3x CTR Issue

    The local outfit I purchased from was very little help unfortunately. I have noticed that Whittakers and Cameraland get phenomenal reviews here and will likely be high on my list of vendors for future purchases.

    Tikka T3x CTR Issue

    Thank you for the input.... the rifle was sent in and on its way back to me as we speak - with a response from Beretta that there is no problem. i'm going to try to get in touch with some one different than the warranty group, I have been trying to find an email for Tikka but everything I have...

    Tikka T3x CTR Issue

    Thanks man for doing that! I'm going to reach out to Tikka through facebook and see if I can get in through a different channel. I'll cross my fingers and hope something comes of it. In an ideal world they could just send me a new firing pin assembly that I could swap out rather than having...

    Tikka T3x CTR Issue

    I just wanted to update the situation for anyone that was keeping up. The rifle is on its way back to me....decent turn around time (around 2 1/2 weeks) however their findings weren't really sitting well with me. They stated over the phone that the cocking piece and pin are staked and that the...

    Tikka T3x CTR Issue

    Gun was unfired - with the exception of whatever they factory puts down the tube. I did disassemble the bolt after removing the shroud and seeing the shavings. I am wondering if the back of the pin and cocking piece are supposed to be level/flush with eachother, the pin protrudes through the...

    Tikka T3x CTR Issue

    I hate issues more than most but the response/resolution is always the most important part of a situation like this. It's a shame to hear they didn't square your chamber issue away properly. My hope is that my reason for return is strictly a bolt issue that can be repaired or replaced. The...

    Tikka T3x CTR Mag Problem - and not the usual one.

    I am having the same issue. The rifle is headed back to Beretta for a separate issue but I noted this problem as well. I'll report back what comes from it.

    Tikka T3x CTR Issue

    First post after a long time of lurking. I wanted to throw out an issue I am having to give a heads up as a potential to look for when purchasing a Tikka ( I know issues with Tikka's are very rare). I picked up a new 20" 6.5 CTR Friday and made the mistake of not dry firing in store. The bolt...
