    Greetings from Finland, the land of Sako and Tikka

    Well. It was not so slow barrel after all. With a bit hot loads I was getting 860m/s (2800fps+) and with a few steps back it will setle around 850m/s (2800fps-). I’m really happy with that! It’s also a good shooter! Here is 5 shots of my first ever reloading batch. Distance was 700 meters...

    Tikka CTR 260Rem Magazine length question

    I have a 260 rem T3 CTR and I’m loading 136 grain lapua scenar l (GB546) 0,005 inch of the rifles. It fits into the magazine just fine.

    Just make sure that you have a correct bolt face :)

    What :O Quite wild! I would still love to see how does look like 6.5CM brass shot from .260 rem side by side of unfired brass (6.5CM and .260 rem).

    KRG Bravo for CTR that can take TRG/CTR mags?

    This is true and has something to do with import/export regulations. CTR mag is not a part of TRG. I have mag without plastic bottom in my CTR and it was exactly the same than TRG-22 mag compared side by side.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I'm clad that it sorted out. I would ask for new rail anyway to be sure and compensate the pain. You could update 20 MOA at same time if you wish or event if you don't install it just keep it as a space or sell it. Keep going upstream from dealer until you find who screwed it. The last screw...

    I guess that it's far away from Finland :) I don't know if anyone here sells Bartlein. 26" left hand gain twist light palma chambered to .260rem AI would be perfect :)

    I would love to have that barrel to my Tikka T3 CTR :)

    Custom tikka vs. tikka t3x tac a1

    Without full length picatinny rail you might be able to use SP-4601 with 56mm scope. I think that 9 mrad model would work nicely too.

    Custom tikka vs. tikka t3x tac a1

    I would think it like this: If you want to have a pistol grip chassis, use TRG/CTR mags and have two stage trigger go for Tac A1 or TSR-1 and upgrade it with Timney trigger If you just want to have a pistol grip chassis and use TRG/CTR mags go for TSR-1 If you want to use TRG/CTR mags and don't...

    Custom tikka vs. tikka t3x tac a1

    Differences between T3 and T3x actions are that T3x has metallic bolt shroud (easy to replace), bigger ejection port and more bolt holes on top to attach rail so in my opinion go for T3!

    Tikka T3 Thread

    For me there is three drawbacks in factory stock. First is obviously cheek support which is easy to fix. Second is that I need a more upwards grip when shooting from prone position. KRG bravo would be a huge improvement for that or any pistol grip chassis for which I could pick any grip I wish...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I'm quite new and here is some background about me. I have a very small budget tikka long range build going on. I found a really nice T3 without X CTR 260rem 20" barrel and bought it right away. The price was really good and it is in mint condition. Only upgrades so far are Tikka oem t3x...

    Greetings from Finland, the land of Sako and Tikka

    LoL, it seems that they are running really late :) I heard some rumours about early autumn but I guess that they don't have a date yet. It's a nice little rifle! I almost want one, but for me it should have a heavy barrel and sporter kind of stock like Sako quad range.

    Nice! Throw a message next time you are around and I might be able to show you some city :) Winter is beautiful up here and summer is not bad either. Actually sun doesn't set at all for some days this time of year :)

    Greetings from Finland, the land of Sako and Tikka

    Actually 6.5x55 is very common in here and it was definitely an option for me but I was looking for Tac A1, TRG or CTR and these are not available as 6.5x55. Availability of 260rem and 6.5CM just got a lot better here because Sako started to load "TRG precision" cartridge using 136gr Lapua...

    Greetings from Finland, the land of Sako and Tikka

    Thanks all :) Lapua indeed is awesome and I will be shooting 136gr Scenar L and of course using Lapua brass :) Maybe at some point I could try to make 260 rem from Lapua .308 Palma brass to try a small primer and to be a bit different. I also really love Hornady stuff! Great measuring...

    Greetings from Finland, the land of Sako and Tikka

    And of course we have also Lapua and Vihtavuori :) I got my first Sako some 20 years back. It was a P94S Finnfire 22lr. A year or so later I bought my next gun which was a Sako 75 SS 30-06. I use these for hunting but it has been few busy years so I haven't used those a lot lately. Last autumn...
