8# 5 oz without the bipod and an with the mag unloaded. 3-12 LRTS. I MUCH prefer them over the 4.5-18 variety.What does it weigh? Is that the 3-12 or 4.5-18 LRTSi?

Lol this has been posted a few times now. Im currently using a t3 bravo on a t1x. You need to change how the trigger guard on the bravo mounts as the internal button head screw is in the way on the t1x magazine well.@Massoud question on the tikka stock. I have a t3 bravo, and am getting a t1x 17hmr. Can I retrofit the t3 stock? Or so I need a whole new t1x bravo?
Copy, thanks. I think I’ll move along the t3 bravo and just order a t1 bravo.Lol this has been posted a few times now. Im currently using a t3 bravo on a t1x.

This is a rifle of mine I like a lot. I got a used T3X Varmint 223 off gunbroker that someone had cut back to about 21" and threaded. I dropped it in an MPA chasis and been shooting 1/2 MOA with Federal GM.
Just heard from Longrifles Inc. Aparently aftermarket tikka bolts are off to heat treat, and will be ready to drop once they get back from that.
Buckle up!
I'm close sea level and temps in the 80s I got 77g FGMM @ 2629 and 69g FGMM @ 2806 off a magnetospeed with Specwar 5.56 attached.What kind of velocity do you get out of that? I am considering chopping mine to 18-20" for hunting suppressed.

From what I've seen no problems with either. Mdt works. Ctr works. Magpul AICS? No.I was going to start a separate thread but I’ll just ask here. I have a T3x lite in 223 that I plan to put in a bravo chassis, should I get the CTR bravo and use the new 223 mags or go AICS and use MDT mags? COAL isn’t super important to me but reliability is, I’d rather not pay the ridiculous price for CTR mags but I’ll suck it up if the MDT is inferior.

No ctr mag to sell. Says he has a lite.I tend to like staying within universal standards where possible. Hence the aics. You would need to buy a new mag, but you can also sell the ctr.
If you ever plan on getting a non tikka, or lets say another rifle in an x-ray or something and want the ability to swap around, for sure go aics

Beretta is having their Fall Sale right now - up to 40% off. Just picked up several Tikka .223 CTR mags.I was going to start a separate thread but I’ll just ask here.

Has anyone tried running a Tikka in 223 AI with CTR 223 magazines? I’m considering it but would love to know if it will cause any feeding issues.
I would also like to know if anyone has tried this, thinking of doing a 223ai build and running CTR mags but wondering how they feed. Anyone with feedback?

Not sure if it is caliber specific but my CTR mags, in 6.5, feed flawlessly in my TAC A1
Whatever you decide to do I would wait on buying the bolt for a little bit. LRI is supposed to be finishing up aftermarket Tikka bolts soon.Ok Tikka experts... I have a question.
I have a modified CTR 6.5 with a prefit heavy barrel and KRG chassis (not great for kids hunting). But am wanting to get a hunting rifle for the kids and want a 223 for range fun (223 not being my preferred kids hunting round). Thinking about buying a tikka 223 compact light (mainly for action, bolt, and compact LOP stock) then putting my old 6.5 ctr barrel on it, buy a new 308 bolt for it, and use the 223 bolt and barrel as a switch barrel set up for my rifle.
have not run all the numbers on this but thinking this might be the way to go. My main issue is the light 223 barrel not working great for range shooting on my gun.
Thoughts
Am I better off just buying a prefit 223 and bolt for my rifle? and then a dedicated kids hunting rifle?

good point forgot about that. Now if you could just buy an action.....
There’s a couple actions over on LRH right now
no problems with fitmentAny issues with fitment of action to chassis? Any need to bed at all?
Also, does bravo come with action screws? Probably a dumb question.
I have both a Bravo and an AAC. I started out with my 6.5 CM CTR in the Bravo because the OEM stock didn’t fit right, even with a Triad Cheek riser. It was functional and shot well, but it just wasn’t “Right”. This barreled action got moved to the ACC in early 2019, so I bought a T3 in .223 a couple of months later to put in the Bravo.Hey guys I have my CTR in a MDT ACC currently but I like the feel of a stock better. I’m thinking of selling the ACC and picking up a KRG Bravo. Any of you Bravo owners out there able to tell me how you like them? Thanks for the info guys!
Ok Tikka guru's I have a plan but have a question on if it will work.
I'm setup for 308 and have been loading 308 for a little while now and don't want to jump into another caliber right now.
So my plan is, buy a Tikka rifle in 308, practice, get it all figured out and when I get comfortable with it and ready I'll find and shoot a PRS match (there's none around here so when I go to one I really want to know what I'm doing).
My question is, if I have a .308 Tikka, is the barrel the only thing I have to change to make it a 6.5 creedmoor?
Yes, that is correct, bolt face and mags are the same.

I run 223AI out of both MDT mags and Tikka CTR 223 mags. Both feed flawlessly. 80SMK, 223AI, 2.450”I would also like to know if anyone has tried this, thinking of doing a 223ai build and running CTR mags but wondering how they feed. Anyone with feedback?
Are there any further details about this? Tried the forum and google search and nothing turned up. Not the first time I've seen mention of this though.
Over the last couple years now we've had multiple (hundreds, thousands maybe) requests from the Tikka crowd to answer the need for two things:
1. Sort out the ability to alter the bolt face on the T3.
2. Offer OEM quality T3 replacement bolts.
Well....that box is now being checked. A big ol truckload of steel is due to be delivered very soon so that the production growing pains can be sorted out. The bulk of the engineering work is already done.
So, I hope you all were serious cause they are coming!
Fall, 2020.
We are hoping for fall of this year. I realize that's a bit vague, but a job like this isn't exactly trivial. My biggest issue is ensuring the proper procedures and processes are in place so that things work smoothly. As it moves forward we'll start working on a release date.

@LongRifles Inc. any further updates?Here is what we have so far. I guess my forum search foo is better. It was posted by Chad himself so that narrows it down alot.

My Lite 7Rm is a hammer with Berger 168 Classic Hunters!Hunting rig (t3x superlight) is a shooter with the Hornady 162 eld-x in 7mag.
My eyes aren’t great and this was shot with a SWFA 3-9 HD. Better than i expected.
Hard to imagine a better value from the factory than a tikka.
