Finally in my hands & setup

[Brakes]

It was a wait, but finally have my a tikka T3 super varmint in 300 win mag.
Took Willys46, MrSwede, Sierracharlie338 and Ledzep's advice, and running the Nightforce 5.5-22x56 NXS glass.
Sighted it in last week, lost 30moa, with a 100 yard zero.
Hitting a 6' gong @ 550yards.
Just fitted a 20Moa egw rail, and sako muzzle brake. Barrel threaded by Jerome Ziersch custom rifles, top quality job. So will have to see how it shoots this weekend, and stretch its legs.

+ have a 12 oz trigger spring, aluminium bolt shroud & bigger bolt handle on its way Just need to find someone who stock duracoat down here.

That's a great looking setup! I didn't know they made the SV in .300WM. Cool!

Do Cerakote air dry, it's way more durable, no mixing and way easier all the way around. I've been doing duracoat for a few years and decided to jump to the next level, and there is now way i'll be doing any more duracoat. Not saying it's not a good product, because it is. It is cheaper, and does a decent job. But i'm sold on the Cerakote.

Ok, just found the cerakote here in Aus. 4oz should be enough?

A super varmint in 300WM? Probably not many of those around. I wish we got a better selection of the Tikkas imported here in the states.

Ah, but you get all the great shit in the states. We can't get a 338, 50 bmg, suppressor, semiautomatic anything (.22,shotgun,pump action shotgun, ar-15, huntingrifle) without being a primary producer or professional hunter, even anything bigger than a 9mm pistol with a 10 round magazine

Don't worry... They're trying their damnedest to get us there.

Yeah but you don't have Obama...Trust me...your winning...

The sako muzzle brake installation instructions call for 10nm or 85in lbs of torque. Bullshit! Didn't even get to 35in lbs without a wonderful little 'tink sound' = a couple of hours farting around to remove a broken bolt & find a replacement, which isn't too easy in a country town.... SO BE WARNED!!! Do not torque to specifications!
