Thanks bigfoot. I contacted bugholes and they only do the .223 conversion. Nothing for magnum and no plans for magnum. Where did you get your magnum setup?

Hey man it looks like you have 5.56, 308, and a magnum bolt heads here. Are these short action bolts or ASR? I’d like to run mangum (saum or PRC) and 556 in my ATX but I’m not aware of that being possible. Let me know if I’m wrong.

I use a kifaru shapecharge for NRL and other field matches and it works great. I also fly with it and use it for my office commuter. I also want to try the panel loader pack of a similar size from HPG. their harness is more comfortable than kifaru and mystery ranch.

@cannoncrossfire , you are the godfather of Tikka accessories and installing a Tikka into a AI chassis. This rifle (and your swept bolt knobs) was the inspiration for building the TAX.

Accuracy internationals AICS.

Behold the TAX (Tikka in an AX) I milled out the chassis, bedded the recoil lug into the chassis and bedded the action. I did this about a year ago. Runs well and feeds smooth.

I just got my new ATX in today. The bolt is quite surprisingly hard to close on an empty chamber. With the safety in the middle position it closes like butter. But with the safety forward it is hard enough to close that I think there is something wrong with the bolt. I took the shroud off and...

Looking for a 6.5SAUM reamer with .140 ish freebore. Let me know. Thank you.

Thanks for all the replies guys. Looks like the Tikka/lilja m24 26"/bravo/USO/atlas cal will be close to 17.5 lbs which is what I am after with that one. My Tikka/proof carbon/XLR element magnesium/mk5 combo will have no problem being sub 12lbs. It will be the NRL hunter/nightforce ELR hunter...

Sweet cause mine is a 24” creed

Thank you.

I’m hoping someone has the exact weight of a factory Tikka CTR barrel they pulled off. I’m re barreling to a Lilja and want the weight to be right under 16 pounds. Lemme know, if you know. Thanks.

I am going to set up a 6.5saum. I will be mag feeding 153.5 Bergers from XLR mags which are 2.950 ID. Do you think I'll run into a case capacity or load compression problem to get maximum velocity? This rifle will be set up ultra light in a XLR magnesium 4.0 chassis, carbon proof barrel...

I’ll message you my email
