If the Tikka T3 upgrade comes to market I will build my dream Tikka 260 rifle.
As this will be my first build/custom rifle I need some help.
It will be for bench target shooting.
It will use a SS Tikka T3 left hand action.
I want it to be suppressed so a 26" barrel should do. I found most come in 26" but one comes in 27". How long is to long for use with a suppressor?
What twist should it be? I found 1:8, 1:8.5 and 1:9. What barrel diameter? What should the end of barrel diameter to match a suppressor?
With a suppressor, should the barrel be fluted or not?
What stocks can I use (need to be left handed)?
Other than the Tikka T3 upgrade, receiver and barrel, what else is needed?
I guess I need to buy a new or used Tikka T3 rifle to get a receiver. What caliber rilfe should I get to match the 260 rem? Will i need a new bolt?
