Wow, a lot of fine looking Tikkas on here! I got a T3X Lite model in 6.5 Creedmoor last week and for what it is, it's a fine hunting rifle. Would like to upgrade some day though.

Any suggestions on how to remove the brown preservative from my new Savage 110 tactical rifle? Thanks! :)

Thanks! (y)

Well, I ended up ordering this mount hope it fits. :) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C6DCPB0/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thank You! :)

I've been told that Remington 700 long action bases would fit this gun can anyone tell me for sure, if this base will work before I order? Thanks...

I have one I just figured they must be pretty crappy since the price I paid when they first came out was $699.00 and now you can get one for $399.00.

Yeah, I've tried one load wasn't too impressed with it but, I'll try a few more but it's hard to even get reloading components as well as loaded ammo and I'm afraid this is going to be the worst shortage ever!

Has anyone gotten one of these rifles to group really well and consistent using handloads? From what I've read, the best groups have been gotten only with match grade ammo and are very pickey. The reviews I've found state they don't produce the accuracy they have claimed. Thanks for any info! :)

I'm just curious, I have a 10fp in .223 are there .260 pre-fit barrels that I could install on mine? I'm sure the bolt head would have to be changed anything else need to be changed or, is it even possible to be done? This would be my first barrel change ever. Thanks!

For those who use it, do you treat the bolt & lugs with it in the usual manner or, do you stick with Tetra Grease etc. for the locking lugs and any camming type surfaces? Thanks!

I just bought one for $200.00 more this is a great price if anyone needs one 1300yd.. Zeiss Victory PRF Laser Rangefinder - 8X26 T PRF at MacksPW.com

Thanks very much for the tips!

Would something like Gun Scrubber in a spray can be good to use to flush the compound/grit out of the action and barrel? or would I be just as well and cheaper, to use Carb Cleaner in spray cans as long as there is no plastics/synthetics involved? Also, would I be better off using the silicone...

I have a couple tubes of valve grinding compound I got from an auto parts store a while back one just says fine, and I believe the other says coarse but not for sure. They are both grease based. Thanks!
