It's an easy $10 fix with a lighter trigger spring.
YoDave is well known, shipping kind of stinks though since it's such a small part.
eBay also has them for cheap.
https://elayprecision.com/shop/ is good go to as well

I got an anarchy outdoors swept handle and knob on my T3x, and I vouch for them. Great quality.Anarchy outdoors has decent options. Stocking is a bit more consistent. Their titanium handle is nice and beefy.

I also vouch for the Ares ETR, however they definitely don't have the same warranty. You could throw your Vortex out the window on the highway, or get bored and shoot it, and they'd send you a new one. I'm pretty sure Athlon just covers manufacturing defects for life. Vortex's warranty is unmatched, and a big selling point IMHO.
I have an ACC that I bought used on here. SHot one match with it last fall, have not shot it since. I pulled it out a few weeks ago and screwed on a Preferred Barrel 6 Dasher in their 900 varmint contour. It came with the internal weights, adding some home made external weights soon. Have too many projects right now.
I have a question for the tikka tac A1 owners.
On the folding butt stock are you able to attach a buffer tube and put a PRS stock on?
I’m pretty new to tikka stuff but considering buying one for this coming season.
I just want to know what options I have if I’m not a fan of the butt stock.
thanks

I have a grayboe Phoenix with the factory CTR bottom metal coming any day now. Will update with pics/thoughts in the next couple weeks.
Update from Grayboe, they “weren’t happy in QC with how a rifle bolted into it was feeding. We are re-machining it and hope to get it out by the end of the month.”
this is their first go at a Tikka version of the Phoenix, so I’m glad they’re taking their time and not sending me a pile of shit.

As someone who has a Tac A1 and knows nothing about ARs I'd like to know this also. Supposedly it's modular but it may not be completely standard. I've seen Tacs with the grip switched out, but I'm not sure if the butt section can be easily swapped, and it'd also be interesting to know if the forend could be switched out for non-enclosed forend.
I have a Tac A1, and was wondering if anyone had recommendations for a vertical pistol grip. Was looking to buy either the MPA or the MDT. Any input would be great!
Here is a new one from M&K you might want to check out also.
Check out my new "Adaptive Precision Grip"!
Hello all, look forward to your input on my newest product. I've spent quite a bit of time and effort prototyping, testing, etc to get this to a place I like. There seem to be "AR" style grips for actually gripping your rifle, and "precision" style grips not really for gripping, but for proper...

The Yo-Dave trigger spring will let you drop the pull weight to 1lb for about $10.
If you look at my previous post you can see what the Tac A1 looks like with the MDT Vertical Grip. I really like the feel.

I have an older model Tikka T3 CTR in .223 1/8 twist with the older style plastic magazines which I hate. Anyone here have a similar rifle and use the Gen2 Billet Magazine form Mountain Tactical? If so what are your thoughts would you buy another one?
I saw that last night when I was browsing the internet. Not a bad design, and like the idea with the watchable thumb rest. Just wish I knew someone that is using it, for feedback.Here is a new one from M&K you might want to check out also.

I think I'm leaning more towards that MDT grip, but kind of like the MPA as well. I appreciate the feedback, and the MDT does look good on the Tac.

Talley rings
KRG Bravo
Nelson 12" arca rail
Glades bolt knob
MDT mag
With the Ultra 7, it's 10.5lbs. I'll pick up a lighter stock and scope at some point. Used an AR bolt catch spring to get the trigger pull under a pound. Cost $.40 and didn't spend $9 in shipping. Fires 55gr Varmageddon at 3125fps. Should do well on critters.

I believe MT's metal magazines are replacements for the factory single stack magazines, not the double stack single feed CTR magazines. Is yours a tactical model with the single stack magazines?
Tikka Carbon Six barrels...
Who has one?
Whos happy?
I've got a Manners stock that is inletting for Rem Varmint, and the Carbon Six Sendero contour seem like it will be the best match for my stock.
Buy from Carbon Six with confidence?

No. It's a Tazmanian devil. You know the Looney Tune Taz? The real life inspiration.

GRS guys: My donor rifle was a Tac A1. Just curious if your happy with your accuracy in your non-bedded GRS stocks and what torque you tightened your two screws down to.
Tightened mine to ~62in-lbs. Have not shot it since mounting the GRS - finally got a torque driver last weekend.
Torque specs are 46 inch pounds for all screws on Bifrost.
The difference with new stock is noticeable.
Money well spent.
Wheeler torque driver, magic.

Uh-oh. Here I thought only the bolt/receiver interface was an issue so followed Tikka’s torque spec. Will adjust mine this evening. Has not been fired or even bore-sighted yet.
Just got this response from GRS: “Try the Tikka recommended first, if this doesn’t give a satisficing accuracy, I would try settings in between 5.2N-m to 7N-m.”
7N-m is the Tikka number and the 5.2N-m is what’s in the GRS manual. So if my groupings are off, I will back off the torque (counterintuitive to me, but I am newby defined)
62 lbs. just seems rather high since the GRS stock has no aluminum bedding, only fiberglass mating up to metal.
When I get home I am gonna have a look at the CtR stock. I don’t think it had any aluminum in it but I’d don’t remember if I even paid attention. All I did was snug it up and waited for my buddy to bring a torque driver. I finally caved and bought one last week. Now it’s tight but I may be taking it out and reinstalling it.
Okay, got home and pulled the original Tikka CTR stock out. It's plastic except for the brass insert anchors for the sling mounts. The receiver mount screws go through plastic only. This is my first centerfire rifle (i have a couple PCCs and a couple rifle caliber pistols (AR 300AAC and Galil X39)) so am fresh from the turnip truck. I don't know how torque affects repeatability. I understand how barrel deflection and harmonics can impact it. Can a higher torque rating cause problems if it is at the receiver's recommended setting? I did not use Loctite because I believe the lubricating affect of loctite means you must decrease the torque or risk bolt/thread damage. I won't be shooting this weekend and don't mind taking it apart to correct any errors. Fresh, unfired Tikka CTR 6.5CM 24" in a GRS Bifrost, torqued to Tikka's specified ~62in-lb. GRS specifies 46in-lb (thanks for that tidbit @GrumpyOleFart). Pic for attention.

It's a dream to use.
The weight forward combined with action is perfect.
Recoil is minimal, and feels like a crisp "tap" to your shoulder.
What scope is that on your rifle?
