    Tikka T3 Thread

    Just measured one with the micrometer, Pin is 1.995 mm so pretty much bang on 2mm. 16.6mm length. edi

    Tikka T3 Thread

    BTW, the old, well used 22-250 T3 I bought arrived yesterday. When taking apart water dribbled out of the stock.... that is how some rifles are treated. Luckily there is hardly any rust except action screws. edi

    Pretty sure the pin is 2mm but will check when in the workshop. edi

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Bought a shot out 22-250 T3 for little money today. No use for it right now but we'll come up with a plan. One has to buy them when they show up. edi

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I'd like to think that. Truth is my son made me some fantastic stocks for my hunting rifles. He does not hunt very often and I hope he will join in more often in the next season. edi

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Last weekend we finished my son's rifle. T3 with 20MOA steel rail which I might change for a lighter Spuhr one. PSE Evolution monocoque carbon fibre stock with wide barrel channel and CTR mag inlet. Precision moulded bedding area with carbon pillar blocks. Proof prefit Sendero Carbon barrel 22"...

    Tikka tac action differences

    Only major thing I can think of is the ejection window which is larger in height on the t3X. Have something like 2.5mm in my head that the bottom edge is lower... I never measured it. Supposed to help ejection on Spuhr direct scope mounts. Spuhr used to mill out T3 actions that would use his...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    The absolute last thing I'd do is to try and rip apart a perfectly good rifle, throw half of it's parts away to start building a new one at possibly similar expense as buying a second rifle. Just shop around and get a t3 223 preferably with 1/8 twist. Even if 20" and light barrel. I am shooting...

    Tikka T1X

    So two options with the UPR T1X, either stock has a different inlet which means new stock moulds or floorplate is made with the CTR footprint which means new floorplate mould (or 3d print). I often throw the T1X into my CTR stocks and had these made by a friend in alu. This E-Tac stock normally...

    Tikka T1X

    T1X floorplate normally has the same footprint as the T3 Lite/Hunter/Varmint etc. The UPR stock uses the CTR magsystem /footprint or? These will not match up. I guess rear action screw will go in front one won't? I only worked on a UPR stock once, never had one of my own. Peter from PSE about...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    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. edi

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I tried the Tikka Triggertech at their booth last week. As all Triggertech very good. Tikka triggers are generally good however there are a few flops amongst them that need reworking. In all the years we had three T3 triggers that were not nice. One was reworked and turned out perfect. I think...

    Don't all stainless actions have an S stamped in behind recoil lug slot? edi

    Tikka T3 Thread

    MDT have a bottom metal that fits into the CTR footprint and apparently takes medium mags say for 6.5PRC but then you still have the bolt head issue. 284 Win could be an option with the MDT and fit in the 6.5CM bolt. I never managed to find a magazine that would fit into the MDT medium bottom...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Recon you could go 338 fed, 308, 70-8. At a push even 6.5PRC and load accordingly. I don't think the PRC will give you much more knock down over a 308 loaded say with 178 ELDX up to 200yd. My choice would be the 308 with 9 or 10 twist and experiment with heavier bullets up to 208gr. Chamber cut...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Although I really like Tikka T3's I can also live without. My two main hunting rifles this season are based on an old Remmy short action and a new Remmy long action. Have a custom Mauser built for rough use and closer stuff as well as a few T3's. I find even getting a few set's of action screws...

    Muzzle threading Tikka T3 lite

    I presume the main reason is lack of Suppressors etc in the metric threads. Our manufacturers in Europe mostly use metric threads and rifles come standard with these. Tikka mainly uses M14x1 for the lighter barrels, M15x1 for 9.3x62 in light barrel, 5/8x24 in CTR and M18x1 in Varmint/Tactical...
