Re: Tikka rebarrel?
There is much interest in Tikka T3 rebarreling at the time. I can't help as I have not done a barrel swap yet.
This post Tikka Research should help you with your build.

I'd bet Mac Tilton has done quite a few. Your lathe has to be able to cut Metric threads....

Re: Tikka rebarrel?
Lot's of interest in Tikka's recently. I love it!
My 300WM rebarreled at 1500'ish rds. Installed Rem. 700 style Tubbs recoil lug at the same time. There was no extra charge for the rebarrel, just find a smith that will deal with metric threads.
BTW, we faced the receiver to better match the profile of the Tubb's lug and my smith said that the original face and threads were perfectly square to the bolt raceway, confirming what I've been told about how true (in addition to stiff) these receivers are.

Re: Tikka rebarrel?
I rebarreled a Tikka T3 recently. Nothing special to doing it. It was a 6.5x55, results were astonishing with the new Krieger barrel. Im on the wrong side of the world to help you, sorry. But you should definitely go for it.

I worked with a gunsmith who builds rifles on Tikka actions. He is a top Highpower shooter.

Mac Tilton @ MT guns also does a nice job on Tikkas

Chad Dixon and his team at Longrifles, Inc do excellent work on Tikkas. I got a Bartlein med Palma barrel, sent it over to him and a few weeks later the T3 was back here shooting .5 moa. He'll want to put a tombstone recoil lug on it, which makes sense with most stocks. I'm using a KRG X-ray, so I kept the Sako/Tikka style lug.
