    Gunsmithing Barrel Vise and Action Wrench

    I agree. Brownells vise and Brownells universal wrench. I’ve popped three Tikka factory barrels off, and two Sako TRG Factory barrels off. A little powdered sugar or a sheet of paper helps a bunch. I use the lead sheet with the aluminum collets to fit the taper properly. Both sold by...

    SOLD FOUND: Tikka rear entry action wrench

    You don’t have to buy the full wrench set up. You can buy just the adapter head and use it on a three eights inch Socket extension.

    I have a T3X in 223 that I re-barreled with a PVA shouldered pre-fit into 223 AI, 24” barrel, with a threaded muzzle. I picked the barrel up on sale last fall. I run the MDT 223 magazines with no feeding issues (2.450”) I’ve put that action into both a restocked and bedded laminated stock with...

    Pre-Fit Barrels for Kelbly's

    Update on my barrels, they both shoot very well. 6mmBRA, Lapua brass, 31.3gr Varget, CCI450, 107SMK. 2920fps, es 12, SD 5. One unexpected benefit, Kelbly’s has been Nitriding their barrels, and the last two have been nitrided. They seem to break in easier (40 rounds) and clean much easier...

    Tikka 223 AI KRG Bravo Build

    I have a similar setup, Tikka T3x 223 in a Bravo. I went with a PVA 223AI barrel, 24” shouldered prefit. It is faster than than the factory barrel, more accurate (especially as it heats up), and has a threaded muzzle. I recommend it, Maybe even on sale this weekend. 80gr SMK, Lapua brass...

    “Budget” Custom actions

    Kelbly. They have a great deal of benchrest experience, and you can see this in the design and features of their tactical actions.

    Gunsmithing What action wrench for a Tikka T3 barrel swap?

    I use a Brownells steel barrel vise, 1.150" aluminum vice barrel collet, and lead sheet to make a perfect fit. A touch of powdered sugar to grip the barrel. Then I use a Brownells Universal action (outside the action) wrench. I've popped off 3 Tikkas and a Sako TRG this way. No problems, no...

    I have a Tikka stainless 270 action. What should I build?

    If the action is too short for a 280, then do a 284 Winchester. 1-8 twist barrel for 180+ grain bullets.
