tikka

Could someone tell me how to remove the dovetailed section of the Tikka T3's bolt handle, I plan on making a new one and threading it to accept some different bolt handles that I am going to make up. I am supposed to pick the gun up tonight, but in looking at them previously, it seems the...

First of all i tried to use the search for this question but i didnt have any luck finding out what i need to know, so I will ask. This question is for any gun smith that has worked on a tikka action. How true are the tolerances and machine work on a tikka T3 action. If you were going to re...

How difficult is it to change a barrel on a tikka rifle?

I think it's time for a new hunting rifle. The owner of the gun shop in town is a buddy of mine, and he's got a Tikka 695 in 338 Win Mag that he's had in back for years and never sold. It's a NIB blued synthetic that has one of the smoothest bolts and nicest triggers I've ever felt in a stock...

Struggling with a decision i need to make. There is a $500 difference between the two. Cant really seem to make my mind up. The tikka you seem to get more options...det mag, threaded barrel,etc... Want to go with the tikka but cant seem to pull the trigger on one or the other. Could someone...

I'm not even done with a .308 build on a Savage action yet, and I'm starting to plan my next rifle. I have a Left Handed Tikka 595 in .308 (the predecessor of the T3 model). It's not nearly as accurate as my Tikka 595 in .223 so I plan to strip it for its action to build a new rifle on. It'll...

I bought a Tikka T3 in 223. I measured the throat and want to load 75 Amax out near the throat. It wouldn't be difficult to do. Only problem is that the spacer in the magazine forces me to keep them a lot shorter than I want. Any one ever taken apart one of these mags? I am thinking if it came...

How to unscrew factory scope base on Tikka T3 Tactical? I got 2 screws out, but the other 2 don't move.

Other than a threaded muzzle, what is the real difference here? Looks like they use the same stock, same pic rail, maybe a slightly different barrel...would I be paying for just Tacticoolness or is it a real upgrade? Also, who has these things in stock? Thanks!!!

I'm shopping Tikka T3 Varmints or Super Varmints in 260 Remington or 270 WSM. The Tikka website lists these calibers as options, but a visit to my local gun shop was another story. My guy is telling me the Tikka Varmints are only available in 204, 223, or 22-250. What is the deal? Is my...

I recently traded for a T3 Tactical, and was very impressed with the rifle. The two things I didn't like were the Stock and the bolt knotb/handle. Tom Manners appears to be working on the stock issue. So I called up Tikka/Beretta and ordered the Large Factory Bolt handle. What I got for my $48 +...

I have seen several Tikka's on here w/diff. bolt knobs,does anyone know about the factory xxl handle and/or the larger factory bolt knob??Where can I get them??,Does anyone have a pic. of them?? Really want the factory ones.

Hi guys, Well i'm finally done with all the upgrades and painting for my Tikka. Once it was "innocent" .270 win T3 Stainless Steel model. With some help and ideas from fellow forum members i have decided slightly personalized my rifle so it can display some character...;-) I have on it now...

I recently bought a new scope: Leupold Mark 4 3.5-10x40mm illuminated duplex reticle. I got it slightly used for $806. (good price?) Now I just need a rifle to put it on! I've narrowed my choice to either the Tikka T3 Varmint (.308) or the Remington 700 R5 milspec (.308). I will be using the...

Hello all, I've read somewhere here and on Manners' site that their stocks can be inletted to fit Tikka T3s. Does anyone know if the stocks are also inletted to fit Tikka's factory bottom "metal" and magazine system? Or will you have to use the Badger M5 or HS Mag system? I tried contacting...

Hello all, I have been searching for this rifle and comparing pricing here and there, but just wondering if any of you know a good source with competitive pricing for this rifle? Local prices are no where near realistic as compared to the internet so I've just been looking at Bud's, Impact...

A few threads lately on the T3s. Seems there is an interest in the varmit model, but it's only imported in a few calibers right now. Does anyone know what it would take to get more calibers imported? Can you special order something like this? Anyone connected to Berreta that can answer what...

I just bought a used like new tikka t3 223 varmint. I cant find out what twist the barrel has? Anyone here shooting one of these? I would like to shoot 75gr a-max. Will these even fit in the magazine? Any info about this rifle would be great! Thanks Lee

I just bought a tikka t3 varmint in 223. I had and sold the same rifle in 22-250 because i couldnt see y hits while shooting. The stock on these rifle are the only problems i can see. The stock is lite and it cause the rifle to bounce around when shooting. I know the 223 will have a little less...
