    Tikka T3 Picture Thread.

    Re: Tikka T3 Picture Thread. I have a CG trigger for my T3, and it's worth every penny. Too bad they're out of production now. I also have a barnard trigger on a 595, which is also an excellent two stage trigger for the Tikkas. Here's my Finn group. The T3 is off getting rebarreled from...

    Gunsmithing Sako and tikka 595 barrel tenon threads

    Re: Sako and tikka 595 barrel tenon threads Here's a shot of the 'improved' 595 with its countrymen. The TRG barrel seems to improve the balance and little as well as add about a pound and a half to the overall weight. Will be running moly'd Hornady 178's and 208's over the chrony later in...

    Gunsmithing Sako and tikka 595 barrel tenon threads

    Re: Sako and tikka 595 barrel tenon threads In case anyone else is wondering, the TRG has a metric pitch and the 595 has an imperial pitch. The metric pitch has enough meat that it can be turned down and rethreaded for the 595. Had to try it, hope it runs well.

    Best Budget 22lr

    Re: Best Budget 22lr The Savage TR will suit you well. I've shot my Mk2 BV in a TR stock out to 300. At 100 and 200 its simple and great practice. Savage is the best value hands down these days- it's one of few rimfires I've hung onto, and I've let Vostoks and Anschutz's out the door.

    Tikka T3 Picture Thread.

    Re: Tikka T3 Picture Thread. Maybe these forums are like a wine hobby or playing golf... gives us five minutes to believe we know exactly what we're talking about. My worst fear is dropping *any rifle. Lots of dollars disappear with a chip in the wrong spot. The Tikka trigger guards go for...

    Tikka T3 Picture Thread.

    Re: Tikka T3 Picture Thread. It sure is pretty bad that the trigger guard is plastic. So when I wanted to install a TRG or CG trigger I only had to spend five minutes with the dremel and I was ready to rock. This anti-plastic angle that a lot of folks have regarding Tikka's is somewhat...

    Tikka T3 Rebarrel integrity

    I'm contemplating rebarreling my T3 sporter with a 30" barrel. Has anyone run into issues hanging a long barrel out of a T3 action? From manufacturing logic, the tenons of the Sako's and Tikka's *should* all be similar, which would yield enough meat to support a long barrel, but just looking at...

    Gunsmithing Sako and tikka 595 barrel tenon threads

    Anyone know if a TRG-22 barrel can be fitted to a Tikka 595 action without modification? (ie are the TRG and 595 barrel tenon threads identical?)

    Gunsmithing Tikka triggers

    Just wondering- can the triggers for the Tikka T3 and 595 be swapped back and forth without issue? And the Finnfire? Reasoning is that I've got a Barnard on my 595 and would like to swap it onto a T3 I might pick up, putting the set trigger from the T3 on the 595.

    Sako Finnfire Hunter vs Varmint

    I'm looking to get ahold of a Finnfire to prevent my c**k from falling off. the Finn addiction is getting pretty bad. Does anyone know how the performance of the Hunter barrel does compared to the Varmint barrel? If the performance is similar, the hunter might be the smart way to go an...
