    Tikka T3x TAC A1 in 6.5 Creedmoor - Change from 24" Steel to 22" Proof Research CF Barrel Suppressed?

    This is interesting. I'll have to check out the Criterion prefit barrels, as I wasn't aware they made one for the Tikka in CF. Thanks.

    Tikka T3x TAC A1 in 6.5 Creedmoor - Change from 24" Steel to 22" Proof Research CF Barrel Suppressed?

    In doing some online "research", I've heard this, but noone has produced any actual results from a chrono. If I had one, I'd do a before and after study.

    Tikka T3x TAC A1 in 6.5 Creedmoor - Change from 24" Steel to 22" Proof Research CF Barrel Suppressed?

    For those that have more experience than I with long distance shooting. I have a new T3x Tac A1 that I've just mounted a PA PLx 6-30x56 FFP Apollo ACSS scope on, and am looking to lighten by shorten it by installing a Proof Research 22" Carbon Fiber barrel. My question is if anyone has any...

    Tikka T3x Tac A1 scope rings/mount

    OK, so I would like to ask if anyone has any other suggestions aside from the Spuhr SP-4602 that aren't $400? Anyone else make a mount as solid at a better price point. You don't want to skimp on mounts, but I know someone has to make a comparable product for less. I like the bubble level...

    Precision Rifle Gear 0 vs 20 MOA Cant and Height to Use on Scope Mount for Tikka Tac A1 ??

    Anyone have any guidance? Do I need to choose a thermal clip-on, before I choose my scope mount height/cant? I'm planning on getting the Trijicon IR Hunter MK II 35MM Thermal Scope to use as a clip-on. Looks like it sits pretty low, so I'll be using an adapter to raise it up off the rail.

    Precision Rifle Gear 0 vs 20 MOA Cant and Height to Use on Scope Mount for Tikka Tac A1 ??

    Fellow shooters, I have a Tikka Tac A1 I'm beginning to build, and am curious about scope mounts I'm considering right now. The two brands being considered are the Badger Ordnance Condition One unimount or the Spuhr mount for a 34mm scope tube. I believe the rifle's rail has 0 cant to it as is...

    Tikka Tac A1 forend swap?

    I am also wondering if anyone has weighed the Tikka Tac A1 OEM handguard? I'm looking at the BLK LBL integrated bipod/handguard replacement in 14" which weighs 1.6 lbs or the 16" which weighs 1.8 lbs. Trying not to add to much weight vs the OEM handguard with a separate quality bipod.

    6.5 CM Choices - NEMO XO Carbon..........versus.........Tikka T3x TAC A1

    All, There's no doubt the SRS is an exceptional shooter, and I love the gun......as a bench shooter, or shooting it long distance with a single shot from a tripod, a blind, or prone position. At face value, there's no question that I'd be going to less expensive platforms selling the DTA, but...

    6.5 CM Choices - NEMO XO Carbon..........versus.........Tikka T3x TAC A1

    I'm curious to see how much lighter it would be with the 6.5 Ultralight barrel, considering mine is the older model with the stock upgraded to the A1 stock with the monopod. The newer SRS A2 is over 2lbs lighter than even the A1. Right now, my SRS is probably about 13 lbs with the 26" 300 WM...

    6.5 CM Choices - NEMO XO Carbon..........versus.........Tikka T3x TAC A1

    I've heard that alot about the Tikka. If I go with it, I'll be upgrading the barrel to the Proof Research barrel, and lighten it up more.
