Nothing vanilla about a stainless T3, it's a fantastic rifle.
Nice wood.No bloated overweight aluminum chassis camo stocked heavy barreled T3 photos, however for your viewing pleasure a matched set of M595's. .17 Remington and .223.

That's what she said. Sorry, couldn't help myself.
Stock model?
Im cleaning out my safe. I have a tikka 3 tactical, factory stock but dipped in multi cam, 20in br, 308, factory brake, 3 5 rd mags, super sniper scope 10x42, warren rings. Rifle has never been fired. What would be a fair price to ask for this set up?
. Balance is excellent in the W3
That is a great looking setup. Really digging that cerakote job.
Received the triggers.
No just start fitting it in.

How did you score TRG trigger(s)?
It i nice, but i think that the KRG Midas is better, thought the TRG trigger aint far away from the Midas, same style feeling, and no play after the braking point.
Almost a drop in if you use a KRG chassis
Had to remove just a bit of the trigger shoe, where the screw head is, maybe a 3mm.

Working on the tripod setup, went with a 404c bc it was on sale and had the thicc legs. So far so good, very stable and lots of travel. I'll probably get a RRS at some point and relegate this one to spotting but not in a hurry.
Threw a RRS anvil on there and whew, saved a ton of weight over the ball head and adjustments are so much better/faster/easier!

Bro, I've worked as crazy.Where have you been, my Swedish bro
Almost hadn't had the time to shoot. Well. Now I'm back
I'd like to see even two of those groups side by side on the same piece of paper.
Not saying your gun doesn't shoot well, but if you've found the recipe, then we all can stop buying TacOps rifles for $8k...
Maybe you can
I've seen regular Sauer STR keep it really tight at regular prone competitions.
But sure, I'll play this game with you, sir. I'll take some pics after my hunting weekend. Hopefully you won't have to pay 8k for a gun.
Have a nice evening though
Still got your Tikka
What stock is this?
Thinking of getting one for my tikka. How do they hold up to scratching? I have an A5 and an AG Composites that are not looking great, hoping PSE is better.PSE rifle stocks is nice and lightweight! I love mine
My brother has a Tikka T3x Lite Veil Alpine in 6.5 PRC on the way. He’s excited. I’m the ammunition source so I have 143 ELDX on the way to go along with my stash of R26.
We’ll see. I’d love to find some 156 Berger EOL bullets but they’re hen’s teeth right now.

Started life as a standard vanilla CTR.
Look how she's grown.

I found a T3 Tactical .308 on GB the other day. I made an offer on it 5 minutes after it was listed and the guy accepted (I think I paid a bit too much). It looks like it only had maybe a box or two through it. I might throw it in a B&C Comp/Tact. stock.
That rifle there, is the closest you can get to the Sako TRG from the Tikka action.
They say, that Tikka T3/X Tactical was build to a over Sako TRG barrel.
That is one fine build from Finland, makes me a broud, would love to own one of these.
But i am a wild one, i want to brake it in to a pieces, and then build it again.

^Thanks. Yeah, I had a TRG-22 (which I sold like a dope) and this gun does seem very similar. I don't know if it's the finish or the feel, but it's there. I wish I could find a McMillan or Manners to throw it in, as I'm not really a chassis guy.
Started shooting Rimfire PRS this year so I thought I would try the Tac A1 off the barricade. With the 26” IBI barrel and the MDT weights it balances really well.
Buddy and I picked up a pair of 24" 65cm ctr's for shooting factory NRL hunter this next season. Going to add light weight arca rails that utilize the 2 factory mounting points on the forend, srs ti pro3 brakes. Tune the triggers down with yodave springs. I have a 20oz lightweight double pull Ckyepod. This leaves me with 2.3# remaining for optics. Plan to install a a419 20moa rail and run my March 4.5-28x52 in nightforce 1.37" ultralite rings.
Just posted in another thread so figured I'd share it here as well. CTR in .308 chopped to 16" with a TB Ultra 9.
Pretty handy "do it all" rifle.

I machine the radius off the front of my Tikka actions, then use a 1.200" shank barrel.
And no, I don't care about prefits, because I only use a barrel not to save a re-purposed barrel.
Odd question when you guys dry fire a tikka is the bolt handle suppose to bounce like a rem700 or does the handle drop down? I seen a post and can’t find it about the tikka bolt dropping on dry fire.
Why would it drop and not bounce? Or vice Versa?

Tikka t3x CTR:
Vortex Razor gen ii 4.5-27x56
Spuhr 9mil one piece ring base 34mm
Ergo Vertical Grip
Dead Air Keymo suppressor Mount for a custom form 1 titanium suppressor
XLR Envy chassis
Replaced bolt throw lever with an acorn
Factory trigger set at 1.3 lb
I think that's it for the upgrades. I have hit the 1700 yard plate with this rifle multiple times. I've had a note card at a thousand yards three times back to back. The performance of this rifle has impressed the hell out of me and I definitely recommend one.
Chassis or stock? Ive had to modify several aftermarket tikka stocks that didn't allow the bolt to be fully closed ti the point of metal on metal closure.
MPA BA comp chassis. The bolt fully closes from what I can tell.
It's just timing, absolutely normal for mass produced actions to have to bolt handle drop down or wiggle.
Will be last shots with this factory CTR .260Rem barrel now.
New pipes coming.
Still looks good though

My first. CTR 6.5CM - both feet dangling in the rabbit hole.

With some having run larger (1.2-1.25”) shank barrels on their builds, is machining off the radius on the action face necessary to do so? I’d guess yes but wanted to ask
Perfect, thanks
Yup I was looking at Carbon Six earlier actually. Only thing keeping me from jumping on a Tikka is the lack of left hand bolt assemblies (for now at least) to do a switch barrel setup like you have with some of your builds
