    Tikka T3 Thread

    Thinking of it, I prefer dust in grease than dust on it's own... metal on metal no lube just sand like some promote??? lovely. I use plenty Teflon loaded heavy duty grease on my bolts and lugs as we mostly have muddy wet conditions anyway . edi

    We fit Atlasworx mag systems almost daily however 300wm T3 AI type less than 10%. The T3 is a bit tight for the AI 300WM mag, some say mill 2mm off the trigger housing but we found that is not needed. Recently a picture was posted on this thread where the front bottom of the action had a V...

    Now finally I finished my "Race Gun" . The project started in Feb when I flew over to Virginia and had a chance to visit Shawn at Hawk Hill Barrels. Decision was made to try a Marksman profile 24" in 6.5 to end up as a Creedmoor 6.5. I had also met the guys from Ultimatum Precision at the...

    The chap in the pictures is a customer and friend... I took the pictures and we also made the stock. He was involved in the development of the heavy duty bipod /tripod range with Rob from Spartan as well as writing for gun magazines. We had also flush fitted a universal adapter into that stock...

    The Guardian Long Range will hold a comp in Ireland end Sept and guys here are very exited about it and prepping like mad. This rifle is a test to see how competitive a factory rifle is once combined with an aftermarket stock and using factory ammo. The T3 CTR 6.5CM 24" is dropped in a factory...

    Precision Rifles.....show em!!

    Most of the year the wind is howling there, plenty rain too but we do have some very nice places to shoot... especially when the sun is out or even just dry. Pic was taken about 2 miles from where I live on the south coast Ireland. The rifle in the pic only weighs 6.7lbs without scope and a...

    Precision Rifles.....show em!!

    This is my first 6.5CM so not much experience with this cartridge. I thought around 830m/s was more than I expected out of a 20" barrel. From a 24" yes possibly. The Sako TRG ammo also reacted quite strong to temperature change. Might have had the cartridges in the sun a few minutes.. This is...

    Precision Rifles.....show em!!

    What kind of speed are you getting with that ammo? Do you use the TRG 6.5CM 136gr scenar? Last week I fired a few shots at a little over 26C (very rarely happens here), had strong pressure signs and hard bolt lift with my Hardy barrel. Speed 2700-2730fps with a 20" barrel. Maybe my barrel is...

    We fit Atlasworx LA T3 mag systems. They are not made for a particular stock which has it's good point because the 300wm is a bit tricky. The angle & position must be just right. No need to mill off the trigger housing. I think the trick with the little cut out in the front of the action is the...

    We seem to see more and more T3 actions being used for PRS type shooting. The T3 action just seems to be a very well designed action that is easy to bed and rifles perform reliably. Two weeks ago the Irish brothers Rory and Daniel set out to compete in as far as I know their first...

    Precision Rifles.....show em!!

    Finally got on the lathe to get my suppressor to fit the 24mm Hardy barrel. A quick run to a farm nearby this eve to fire a few shots over the chrono and zero at the same time. Never had a 6.5CM before and only have a few boxes of Sako TRG 136 Scenar factory ammo so far for her. I fired 15...

    Also recently had a fairly new 243 Lite in that just didn't go down. I had an old trigger unit hanging on the wall for fitting work which was much lower in pull weight. So now I have a brand new trigger on the wall for fitting work. They do seem to differ quite a bit. As factory triggers go...

    None of us are getting younger.... I wanted a tactical type rifle that doesn't weigh more than a sporter. Remmy doner action, Hardy 20" carbon barrel 6.5CM 1/8 and PSE E-Tac4 RSA stock made extremely light , just under 29oz including bedding. The complete rifle with mag without bipod comes in...

    Had a Lilja 308 barrel fitted into a 25-06 T3, Atlasworx aics floor plate and PSE carbon E-Tac stock, 3 pos safety. Was a lovely setup but went to fund new projects. edi

    Some of the complaints about CTR mag prices probably came from Europe, we have or had to pay over 150Euro for a mag which is getting close to 200 US. I get MDT mags for 50 Euro. The other reason is that many seasoned shooters have a load of AICS mag lying around from other rifles like myself. I...

    Haven't had a new rifle in at least 5 months....:sick: never ever had a 6.5, always wanted a carbon barrel, need a long range fox & small deer rifle. The bits are coming together. Hardy carbon barrel will finish at 20", as is the barrel weighs 1.2kg (42 Oz). Action is an old remmy. She will get...
