Tikka action only
- Thread starter Blue72
- Start date
I’m not aware of tikka actions available separately and there aren’t any custom actions available for that cheap. But all is not lost, tikka’s are made well enough that shouldered barrels are available from plenty of companies. Pick an action with a bolt face that offers a few(or several) cartridges that you are interested in shooting. Use the time spent shooting out the factory barrel to save $$ for some different barrels and some tools to change them and before you know it, you’ve got yourself a kickass switch barrel rifle with a whole stable of different barrels
Lowest cost Tikka "action" goes for about $600. They just come with barrel and stock attached 
^^^Doing exactly this myself right now. Have two other Tikka CTR already that I have left alone other than a move to MPA chassis. Working on a new build. Purchase a Tikka Lite around $600 then a barrel and some tools as suggested. Just did the barrel swap the other day. Here is a link to the thread I started to share the build.

.224 Valkyrie From Tikka T3x .223
After much research and planning I have decided to take the plunge. Purchased a Tikka T3x Lite in .223. The plan is as follows. Barrel: Remove the factory barrel and replace with a pre-fit chambered in .224 Valkyrie. Undecided as yet but looking at Carbonsix, McGowen, or Preferred barrel...

This is the best price I can find on a new Tikka. $490. Not bad, especially if you’re just looking for an action and trigger:

What are you planning??? A stock Tikka is a great rifle. Maybe find one with a caliber your looking for and go shoot.
There is one in the equipment PX. Not $500 but still not often to find a Takka action by itself
You can find decent deals on tikka rifles on gun broker. Personally I love the platform. I think it’s better option than most of the cheaper custom actions.

Just buy a Tikka and you can get shouldered prefit barrels from several places. And that has to be the worst name ever for an action.i know this is an old thread.....but in case there's still someone wondering:

Ultimatum DeFacto Action – International Barrels
Tikka makes a good action(have several), but no way in hell would I spend 600$ on a Tikka VS paying 900$ for an origin or CDG action if I was starting from scratch. If it requires you to save for another month or two, do it. Accuracy isn't a question, but the options within the aftermarket support for 700 clones VS a Tikka is a major difference, however better than it used to be.
