For tips to save on tikka firearms and accessories find a beretta platinum dealer. They typically sell all beretta (tikka) included at wholesale prices just FYI if know has said it
I've had my Tikka T3x TAC A1 for about two years and it is by far the most accurate rifle I own. I built another rifle on a trued Rem 700 action and spent a lot more money on additional components. When I compare the two, the Tikka still comes out on top! This is my lesson in economics.......
Will shoot this for the first time tomorrow but this has been awhile in the making...Manners PRS-TK1, left hand (first one in Australia), factory trigger with Yo Dave spring, Mullerworks medium palma 1:7.75 twist finished at 24" and cerakoted, Vortex AMG with MOA reticle in a Spuhr 3001 mount sitting on a Ken Farrel 30moa rail. Went with an Arca Swiss rail and picked up one of the new Atlas CAL bipods. She's chambered in 6XC and I've got a 419 Hellfire brake to go next week. Load development starts tomorrow with 105gr Lapua Scenar L, RDFs and Berger VLDs all getting a run in front of H4350. Oh yes, the action has also been cerakoted and the bolt microslicked. It has a Sterk titanium pineapple bolt handle and titanium shroud.

That right there, is sexy as fuck!
Looks awesome man. Good luck with the rdf, I dont know anyone that has got them to shoot without flyers. Might want to check out the 112gr barnes and the 107smk. Pointed 107smk are same bc as 105 hybrids and shoot really well, without all the fiddling that hybrids need sometimes.
Cheers mate. I've actually got the RDFs to shoot in another 6XC, a Kelbly Atlas in an MPA chassis. Same barrel specs as the new one above - 60 thou jump has them working alright but I did sort them by weight as Nosler has some shocking weight variation with these bullets - a 500 pack resulted in 7 batches with the lightest bullets 104.50gr and the heaviest at 105.20gr for a 0.7gr variation...
Been slowly workin on this one since February. I'm pretty happy how it turned out. I may do a few more things in the future. "Tikka on a budget", if you will. ?

It was a test day today, again 
Anyone lengthened the bottom of the action on the T3X to accommodate magnum rounds longer than 3.41"???
I have a T3x in 7mm RemMag but I have found shooting the 183 Matchkings and similar loooong VLD rounds which tend to like .020" jump or less.... Due to the 3.41" bottom action length requires me to load them to a point where they jump .1 and longer. .... Or I need to single load them through the ejection port, which sucks.

Starting to dial in the .308 Tac A1. The Hornady Black and ELD was shooting pretty close to each other. Wind was gusty as well, but not bad overall.

I think maybe the bolt stop as well...
It'll still work with the LA bolt stop. The Tikka T3 CTR with short action calibers uses them for whatever reason and it works just fine. Only drawback is on higher cheek rests (like my KRG Bravo), it will hit the rest before hitting the stop.
Thnks for the info... I just have an opportunity to buy a used 270 somewhat on the cheap and thought it maybe a good way to get into a 308 knowing that I will be dumping the stock and need to have it rebarrelled.
I wish we could buy the T3 actions new by themselves

No problem. I haven't carried out a rebarreling on a Tikka myself but I have read of others buying Tikka Lites for cheap and changing the barrels right off the bat. Would be pretty cool to get one of the shouldered cf prefits from Proof.
My thoughts exactly... I just wasnt 100% on the bolt being the same and didnt want to get in over my head
Had a Lilja 308 barrel fitted into a 25-06 T3, Atlasworx aics floor plate and PSE carbon E-Tac stock, 3 pos safety. Was a lovely setup but went to fund new projects.

I would guess that the reason is TRG-22 magazine which needs the bolt to go further back.
I need one of those to my up coming project
Got to love the 308win CTR.
With Lapua Scenar 168gr bullet it is ,5MOA rig, and i have not even done the AOL gauge tuning yet

This is one great looking rifle!
What KRG chassis this is?
The sponge paint job is everywhere now.....kinda played out imo. I just rattle canned two colors lone survivor style and was done in 20 minutes.
I guess I can add my name to this thread, I take delivery of my T3X Tac A1 left hand on Tuesday, I've got my Sterk bolt knob and shroud on the way. I'm just considering optics now, either Burris XTR II or a Steiner? 3X15.
Steiner all the way P4x 4-15 with free rings from DSG. What caliber did you get?
Direct from XLR....i just trimmed it to fit the Tac A1 cheek rest.
For the "lefty" it was 6.5 or 308, I opted for the 308.
That was KRG Bravo, but i get that KRG TRG rear stock to it.
Nearliest for this is a Whiskey model.
I was shooting on my friends lands yesterday.
half kilometer steel plate on a target.
Roni did shoot with the 260rem and hi´s 223rem.
Roni´s new record distance, old was 300-meters, so hi nearly double the distance
I did some suppressor testing with my new Jaki mini sniper.

If it’s not a quigley I don’t think any body will care
just got my T3x CTR 24" 6.5 creed today
my camera is garbage but w.e
is it possible to remove the cheek piece on top? I want to replace it with an adjustable kydex cheek riser.

Congrats on the rifle! Yup, I've seen some fellas do it. Although I dont know how as I've never done it. Sounds like a fun project though.just got my T3x CTR 24" 6.5 creed today

Yes, just carefully pry up the little plastic plug/circle on top and you'll see the screw underneath.

Did your CTR come with the vertical grip module or did you have to buy it from Tikka/Beretta?
More 1/2” groups out of shitty factory Sellier & Bellot 180 GR..the Tac A1 continues to impress me. The absolute best sub $2k rifle on the market!
Can I ask what factory ammo you were shooting? I have ran a few through mine - Just trying to find out from others what is running good
S&B 180 grain $12 box of 20.
Nice...
What chassis/frame is that. Thing is beautiful ?
SAC built 284Win
Tikka long action
Agreed! Very nice looking rifle!
