Tikka Builders?

Tikka Builders?

Is there anyone out there that builds these up? That doesn't have a 5 year wait?

Throw a new barrel on them, Throw it into a WC3 Chasis.... seems like a no brainer.

My smith did mine, exactly has u described. Machined the front of thr action down to get rid of the small radius at the action front. Hung a Krieger tight bore LV contour(1.20" at breech, perfect size) in 243 1-8 25.5" long. Lapped the lugs, probably80% before now perfect. Bolt face was true from the factory, as was the receiver face but the radius needed to be removed. He made a cleaning pass at .001" and all the finish was removed on receiver face with that cut, pretty true. 1"-16 tpi threads. Added a krg and SS5-20, mixed in some handloads and it will throw down 1/2 moa @1k like it is it's job. Have a couple 4 shot groups at 1 k that are 2.5-3", just can't seem to get the 5th one inside of that. Smith charged 290 for truing and barrel install, also bead blasted the barrel. Brian Wick at Wick Custom Firearms . He is working with havercamp on converting his single shot br actions into repeaters. Saw the prototype in 260 feeding from AI mags.

Aaron roberts (Roberts Precision Rifles - Aaron Roberts Houston Texas Riflesmith Gunsmith) had mine completed in 3-4 weeks, inclusive of inletting a stock and bedding the action. He built a T3 Tactical into a 6.5x47L.

Longrifles Inc. and Wildcall Custom Rifles both work on Tikkas. I will be sending my Tikka off to Chad as soon as this wedding is over. Im going to have to get used to this asking for permission thing, before I spend money.

RW Snyder does Tikka builds and usually has a pretty quick turn around time.

Chad is finishing up my Tikka T3 build and I should have it in a couple weeks. I took my rebuild in a different direction

They faced off the small transition on the front of the receiver
Blue printed and trued the bolt and action
designed, cut and pinned a custom Remington style recoil lug that matches the outer contour of the T3 receiver
installed a 24" 1:8 SS #3 Brux barrel for .243 win - spiral fluted the barrel and threaded for my muzzle break/QD suppressor adapter
spiral fluted the bolt for esthetics
pillar bedded into a LH McMillan Sako hunter stock with LongRifles Inc digital camo pattern
Black Ceracoked the barreled action

The kicker on the build, I was hoping to have them install a #4 Brux barrel as the Sako hunter was suppose to support a #4 Douglas contour barrel. John at LongRifles called to tell me the Sako hunter stock wouldn't support a #4 Brux as the barrel channel was too narrow. He said he would have to use a #3 Brux. He also said a #3 brux was the same diameter as many #4 barrel contours from different barrel makers as there are no real standards for barrel makers to follow. In the end I'm still getting the same diameter barrel.

When I get back I'll post plenty of pictures.
