    Tikka action build

    Any of the new Tikkas are really easy to get broken down. Barrels must not be nearly as tight as older ones where people have these issues. I've pulled 6 now and never had to use a mallet on the external action wrench more than twice.

    Tikka actions

    Friendly reminder that the OP hasn't even responded to this thread since it's inception....but hey let's argue more! Now that we've established that, I went Tikka for my hunting rifle for one reason and that was bottom metal and reliable feeding while crossing over between magnum and standard...

    How bad is this idea?

    This is my hunting Tikka, I actually own four Tikkas in total so I can swap bolts around when needed. To me the advantage to the Tikka is the footprint staying the same when swapping calibers. I leave the magnum bolt stop in two and a SA bolt stop in my 223. I just spin a 22" 7PRC proof...

    Proof vs Bartlein?

    I buy proof simply for ease of getting in stock barrels that’s can be shipped out quickly. You can get discount codes often and get carbon barrels for around $750-$800. Also installing them in my own shop with minimal tools makes it easy. My three proof barrels are awesome shooters and were...

    Tikka T1X

    I've had my T1X for a year or so now and finally decided to try some better ammo in it and SK Standard+ was really the ticket. I had only been shooting CCI SV with pretty decent results. I just got my new HuxWurx Flow 22 Ti so figured I'd test it with some good ammo. I plan to do some testing...

    Tikka T3X CTR First Shots...WOW!

    Here's a pretty good test showing that zero's really don't shift and "flyers" don't really happen when barrels heat up. Check out Gun #8 as its a Tikka lite barrel that definitely didnt have any issues handling heat. I've noticed the same with my Tikka and Proof prefit, The length of a string...

    Rix Storm 3 vs Leap 3

    I have an S3 as I use it as both a scanner and scope as I don't see much use in buying two thermals for my needs (hogs under 150yards in central Texas). I do enjoy the S3 and the quick detach. The Leap 3 has "optical" zoom, but that only zooms the eyepiece in further on the digital screen, so...

    Current price and best place for 22lr plinker ammo?

    Are you talking about Ammoseek? It literally just tells you what ammo costs....how does that suck?

    tacom structured barrel

    Christ you make things complicated. When something needs a wall of text for a simple question, it make you look like you don't know what you're talking about. Eliminate the damn variables by running two barrels on one action. Then you have no variables outside of the barrel. Here's...

    tacom structured barrel

    Wow that was a wall of text. Surely you own an action. Take one of your barrels, and take another barrel of the same quality that we would buy, say a bartlein prefit. Shoot ammo through them, and show the results. This test doesn't have to be that expensive. It's odd that as an engineer...

    tacom structured barrel

    But why not do it yourself? Sure people can question things regarding the data, but at least there would be data to question. Currently things are so vague that people are simply questioning the idea as a whole.

    tacom structured barrel

    Where are the tests of these barrels shot side by side with standard barrels. Just the results. I would assume Tacom would have that handy to answer many of the questions posted here. Seems like that would be super simple to have to show folks with questions. To me it’s a red flag when...

    How is 7PRC better than 7 Rem Mag?

    The 7PRC is a bit slower than what Hornady shows on the box. For example my 22" proof barrel on a Tikka is shooting the 175 ELD-X at 2825fps. The federal load with the ELD-X bullet is supposedly going a bit faster though so that may be a different option. This thread has some info on it...

    Tikka T3 & T3x lite barrel weight info - Please add!

    The counter point to your carbon barrel hate is that unlike a steel barrel you can shoot a ton more through it before it starts to walk, if it even does. So you can have both a range gun and a super light hunting rifle. So if you're buying a single barrel and hanging a can on the end, carbon...
