I've always had a soft spot for that rifle (hence the username). Just looks like a rifle should look.
I like the looks of it too. But this was a 300 WM and it has a bit too rough to shoot like that. I kept at it for a few months but after having left the range with a numb shoulder and huge problems to keep it shooting the way it should I started to make changes. If it were a .308 winchester things would problably pan out differently.

This is what it looked like after I got a Grayboe stock for it, and had the barrel threaded for a suppressor:

It made a lot of difference, and with that set up, it shot great. I shot the Nordic Long range championships with that set up.
Then in the following summer, I got an AICS AT chassis for it:

Blueprinted and rebarelled with a Jury custom barrels, Mark 13 profile.
MARS rail, BixNAndy 2 stage trigger.
I acctually run a Ase Utra SL7BL suppressor on it since this past summer. The one pictured did not like a steady diet of hot 300 WM ammo going through it.
 
I'll get this thread started again

How do you like your TL3?
 
I changed out my Tikka Tac A1 to a Cadex Defense Field chassis. I liked the Tikka chassis but kept having rust problems with it anytime I went hunting, shot in the snow or encountered literally any moisture. I'm very happy with the chassis so far, I do feel the trigger reach is a little long but not bad with the vertical ergo grip. Still has the same excellent accuracy as before. Pretty excited to take some hogs with it now that I have a new RRS Anvil 30 ball head coming to replace my no name pos head that's falling apart.

What does it weigh?
 
I’ve been looking at tikka tax a1’s to add to my collection, is the tikka chassis steel or aluminum or were dealing with rust on the action and barrel?

The chassis is mostly an aluminum body but has different steel sling points and small parts that got rust into them. The mags would also pick up surface rust. I could always get it off, but it was mildly frustrating and began to get old. I've had the rifle for 2 years up to that point with about 3800 rounds through it and was very happy otherwise. Unless you're planning on shooting in the rain & snow alot or dealing with lots of condensation I doubt rust would be an issue for you. I've never heard of any other people having problems with this, most say the mags have issues, which I did not have.

@VargmatII What made you swap from an S&B to the NXS?

I moved the S&B over to my 6.5x47L rifle that was my main competition rifle at the time. Got the NXS to keep the Mark 13 "period correct" as it was a project in it self. I cant do a full clone build as I live in Sweden and getting some of the parts is pretty much impossible, like the KAC suppressor. Unless I wanted to spend something like 2 months salary on one, and then there is still no smith in country that could fit it. So it is a Mark 13 mod5 (-ish), or a Mark13 mod 5 influenced rifle, if you will. Either way, it shoots great.

Later on I sold the complete 6.5x47L set up and got myself a TRG22, which is my current go to rifle.

are there any feeding / ejection issues?
I've heard many stories that the TRG magazine does not work with 6.5x47 reliably.

You missed the selling part. My 6.5x47 was sold and the TRG replaced it. My TRG is a regular 308 win.
But I know of a guy who had his TRG rebarelled to 6.5x47 and it worked.
TRG is/was sold from the factory in 260 rem and 6.5 creed and it seems to work.
I have a 6XC dummie round and it Aldo feeds in my TRG, maybe ill have a barell spun up for it at some point. Who knows?

In the future when I am able to I will get an XLR chassis for it but that will be a while.
 
First " poors " PR build with A LOT of help from a buddy! :) The plan is to upgrade the optic later this year. I am also building a suppressor for it ( form 1 waiting on the stamp ). I am looking forward to pushing it out to 1000 yards once the snow melts. :)

Remington 700 action
Wilson Sporter 4 27" barrel / 1-10 twist

Might want to switch the cheekpiece around, the cut out is there to clear the bolt. And that scope is mounted way forward, it looks very strange. You will probably want to set that up better?!

How big a boy are ya?! lol

can you get a good sight picture with your LOP way out and your scope so far forward?

Nice rifle.

See, I said it was my first build. :) It was on correctly, I took it off to add spacers to the butt stock and clearly wasn't paying attention to the direction when I put it back on. As for the scope, I haven't been on the gun yet since installing it. The rings are just finger tight until I get to shoot it.
 
Lol. Not that big. I haven't been on the gun yet since installing it. The rings are just finger tight until I get to shoot it.
Thanks!
You can check out this video to help to determine if you need to take out some of those spacers. This is important for allowing a 90 degree trigger finger, pressing straight to the rear. Also for allowing yourself to get your body perpendicular to the rifle to manage recoil so you can observe your impacts or misses downrange, through the scope.
