Throat in two of my 1/8 T3's seemed perfect for 75 A-Max/75 ELDM. shoulder junction on boat tail junction. Just need to run out of aics mags as they won't fit in the 223 T3 Lite mags. Shoot very well.

Some crazy firearms in this thread, here's my (humble) and newly acquired Tikka T3x in 6.5 Creedmoor. First bolt gun, so I'm pretty excited to get out and put some rounds through it.
Got it so I can dip my toes into some longer distance shooting, I've never really tried shooting past 150 yards which I did with my duty AR.
Mountain tactical picatinny rail, Vortex Strike Eagle 4-24x50 and Leupold scope rings is all I have so far.

What caliber?
6.5 Creedmoor
Nice. I would suggest a Bradley cheek riser or one of the drill in kydex pieces from ebay to give you some comb height for a more consistent cheek weldSome crazy firearms in this thread, here's my (humble) and newly acquired Tikka T3x in 6.5 Creedmoor.

Thanks for the suggestion(s)! I'll be looking into those, and I had my eye on a Javelin bipod as well.
Going to the range on Thursday to get it sighted in and I'll play around with it to see what else I might need.
Hey guys I went into my local shop to order a 308 t3x ctr in stainless and he said that just the barrel is SS and the bolt itself is not stainless, and the barrel is not threaded. Is this true? From what I've seen elsewhere this is not the case but just wanted to make sure before I told him he's wrong and ordered the rifle lol thanks much
Jrtxc316s is the model number of what you want. The full Tikka model number is TFTT2924A134963B. Muzzle is threaded.
I don’t believe bolts are ever stainless as stainless is less tough than whatever steel they make them out of.

The .223 ATX clone is coming along nicely 
OG T3 action
419 20moa rail
LRI straight fluted bolt
Birdsong Black-T coated
Sterk handle and custom AI shroud
Honestly pretty hard to tell the difference (aside from the gold knob) from any more than a couple feet away.
With my actual ATX bolt…
Now just need AI to release the T3 inlet… more to come.

It’s not a one off but it was a very limited run he did. Basically too expensive and labor intensive to make.
From what I recall it was essentially 3d printed with Titanium “dust” infused filament (if that’s even a thing), but also required hand fitting and finishing to get the profile correct and make it work.
I was fortunate to grab this one from him a couple years ago and am just finally putting it to good use.
An unfired CTR I bought several years ago with the intention of building up. Never got around to it until recently. MDT ACC elite, ZCO 5-27, yo Dave trigger spring, area 419 brake and atlas bipod.
Well, you sure got around to it all right. LOL. Nice setup !!
Damn that looks nice!
Get a triad stock pack
Non permanent, adjustable and it doesn't look stupid like the shitty amazon kydex ones. No drilling holes either.
Plus it adds utility with the pouch. Only like 50 bucks to boot.
Nothing says broke ass quite like one of those kydex risers. And when you go to sell the stock once you upgrade (you will), no one will want it due to the 2 holes you drilled in it.
So about today.
Tikka TacA1 barreled action.
KRG
NF ATACR
Atlas bipod
Silencerco
168 smk fgmm
Bought the BA here. The chassis is a blem. The scope is an older MilR I had. The suppressor is for my hunting rig.
These are a couple of the average 3 shot groups from today.
It’s stupid how accurate this rifle is.

Just for reference since your issue has been discussed and answered, the work silencer central did on my marlin xt22 fit my Mask fine without a spacer.
I think the TBAC Takedown 22 is more picky about the length of the threaded barrel vs other RF cans.
How long are the threads on your barrel?
So, I read somewhere that the reason for having different length threads for rimfire vs centerfire is to theoretically prevent someone accidentally threading on a rimfire can (~.4” threaded part) on a centerfire (~.6”).
Of course this could be total bunk. Sounds like many rimfire cans can be threaded on a .6” long thread anyway.
Just bought my first Tilka T3x Lite in 300 Win Mag. It is the Cabelas special. I took it to the range today for load development and found a large accuracy node that is .6 grains. Those four grouping were one hole. This is by far the easiest load development I have ever done. Next is too load up some rounds and test SD. All I added to the rifle is a limb saver air tech recoil pad. The recoil pad combined with the muzzle break made for a soft shooting magnum. At lest soft to me. lol.
Are these available in the USA? I looked at website and they only showed for a 700 or clone.
Does anyone know where a guy can buy a Sterk bolt handle? I know you used to be able to message him on here, but he hasn't posted in almost a year.
I just quit looking and backordered on Eurooptic.
Not sterk, but anarchy outdoors has a swept handle. That's what I'm using
I'm aware of the Anarchy. It's not quite right to me. If I can't buy a Sterk I might have to see if I can borrow one and have a local machinist friend make me a few copies.
Is there any word that sterk isn't making them? IIRC, he's always been on a bit of a back-order basis...
I've been on the notify list on Euro Optic for months and @cannoncrossfire hasn't posted for a year. I can't speak to what's going on with him but he doesn't seem to be around.
Should be avaible soon, i think in a month or so, or even sooner.
Have you check Brownells?
Nothing from Sterk comes up when I use their search function.
Brownells USA doesn’t carry any Sterk things, unfortunately. Sounds like it may be different for Brownells europe?
Brownells Finland has Sterk, that is strange since i thought that all the products from Brownells Finland is coming from US warehouse.
Send mail to John.

www.facebook.com Got 20 minutes last week to run to the free range and get the rifle sighted in. First 5 rounds through the gun, using the cheap Winchester power point 129 grain.
I'd love to say putting two rounds in the same hole was skill, but it was rounds #3 and 5.
Picked up some Horandy ELD match and a lead sled to hopefully get it completely dialed in.

Have any of you Tikka guys taken a 5rd magazine for a CTR and made some modification so it'll act and perform like a 10rd mag? I only ask because I'd like to get another couple mags, but all I can find are 5rd. Is it a different follower, a dent in the metal body or something else that makes the differences?
Now that hunting season is over in Alabama, It's time to play Tikka Legos...
I'm thinking that I want to pull the .284 Winchester barrel off of my main T3X Action and swap either the 6mm CM or the 6.5 CM Barrel onto the action and put it back into the MDT ACC Chassis for the spring & summer.
I could put it back into the manners CF hunting stock, but once you run a chassis gun that's adjusted to fit, it's tough to go back to conventional.
Anyone have any opinions ?

My opinion is that you have far too many parts and pieces for one rifle cluttering up your home. P.M. me and I'll give you an address to dispose of all the extra parts. Your wife will thank you.
Would it make you feel any better if I told you that I have those parts from 3 different T3 / T3X and a T1X rifles ?
I started this "Collection" in 2018 so it's not a recent thing.
I'm a "Poor" that pays over time.
I get it. I'm a "poor " who has no problem saving for years to buy top dollar stuff.
Shit half the dudes on this site have maxed out credit cards and $1k/month truck payments. Ain’t nothing wrong with saving a little cash to spend a little cash even if it takes longer to get what you want.
I didn't come here to be personally attacked....
(J/K, I have another $200 before my card is maxed out and my wife leaves me)
At the rate my wife spends, I have to buy when there is money. For some reason, if I save the total never increase...
That's quite to conundrum. That's why I bring home the money and manage all the finances. I see all what she buys, and she doesn't see mine (at least the price I paid for them). lol...
I pulled the .284 Barrel off of the action today at lunch and replaced it with the 6.5 CM CTR barrel that came off of this action.
It's so much easier to do a barrel change now that the barrel that was installed by Magilla Gorilla in Finland has been removed.
It took longer to set up the barrel vice on the milling machine table than to do the actual barrel change.
I'll put the BA in the ACC tomorrow and remount the scope with a new pair of rings and laser bore sight it, then install the suppressor mount and it's ready to go to the range .
I need to load up some more 142 SMK's and shoot more stuff at longer ranges.
