Plus, KRG has a ton of great add ons... just put arca rail on....looking for weight kit....
Ended up shooting 5 does over the weekend. All of them from the exact same spot at about 2 hour intervals. It is a clump of trees that offers about a 270 degree field of fire out to to about 400 yards.
We ended up naming that location “Killbox Alpha”
Take a look at Redsnake Tactical BM. They allow you to use 300 WM AI Mags that'll give you more length.
Tikka goes custom 
Any tikka people running red snake bottom metal.
I’m about to bed mine in EH1 7mm RM
Anyone by chance have a source for a Trigger Tension Tab? I took mine off years ago for a chassis build and am now rebarreling to a Caebon McMillan and aftermarket OEM pattern bottom metal and will need it for the dinky factory mags.
Happy to pay someone that's taking theirs off for a chassis. (Would also cut some a deal on my KRG X-Ray that's for sale!)
Pic to be clear on what I need, the part #2.

I did the same thing. I think I know where mine is. I know trigger parts for tikka can be had from brownels. try that
I was going to on my build but emailed them and never heard back so I'm doing one from Mountain Tactical.
Buddy of mine made one from a 27-mm pipe clamp. He converted his CTR to run with the Lite mags in a B&C stock. Works just fine. All that "tab" does is apply forward pressure on the plastic mag so it will catch and not fall out.
Thanks, I'll check there. Let me know if you happen to find yours please. I'm elk hunting with this rifle in two weeks.
That's...a great idea. Thanks, I'll have to fabricate one if I can't locate one.

Hey man I have one that I’m not going to use
The newest addition to my family. Tikka T3x Laminate SS in 6.5 Creedmoor. Pretty good shooting rifle but a lot to be done ?
I am in a t3 lite forest (wood stock) I had to throw some electrical tape around mag to prevent the excessive magazine wobble. Not very quiet when your trying to hunt. I was using 30-06 accurate mags
Today i tested Steiner M7Xi 4-28x56 scope, all i can say is nice
How’s it compare to a S&B PMII 5-25x56mm?
Need help. I have a TacA1. My scope is a Razor Gen2. I have the highest Vortex rings on it. I would like to get a 20moa rail but if I do, I am afraid my bell will not clear the Tikka forend. Options?
I like this scope image quality more, than S&B.
If you have looked Zeiss V8, this is more like that, warm and not dry image like some scopes has.
Maybe you can Just use a 20moa one piece mount and leave the tikka rail as is. The Taca1 scope base is higher than most. If you use an aftermarket canted scope base it will probably be much lower than what you have on there now and could run into height issues and will probably look like crap anyhow. I am talking offhand. I sold my Tac-a1 a year ago or more.
I’m guessing you have a .308 if you need a 20moa cant
Sometimes
.I would do it more often, but like now, i am struggling with my low back pain, it might be sciatica, or the worst scenario is spinal disc herniation, this nervous pain is f..g making me crazy.
Here is my tube channel, some of my shooting i have done on to the video, notging cool, just basic videos.
Actually a 6.5 Creed that I like to shoot a mile. I would like to dial up instead of using the reticle.
Density altitude here starts around 4200 and the high desert settles in around 6200. On good days it is doable, others not so much.
If he were to change to scope base, he would probably lose too much clearance as a result. That one piece is the way to go.
Yes 20 gives me 7 extra.
Viking I think the Sphur may be the way to go. Which ring height do I need?
One reason is that on hunting rifles keeping everything low and compact makes sense as comfort when looking through the scope for twenty seconds before breaking the shot makes little differences and it keeps guys from having to purchase high dollar and heavy stocks with cheek risers or having to build up the stock itself.
For target rifles, comfort and usuablilty comes into play as the shooter is behind the scope for longer periods of time and I wil agree that higher mounts give more room but I don’t like them excessively high. Even target shooting, comfort doesn’t matter unless you are a puss. ?

I’ve been saying this too. Especially in the “shooting with glasses” threads. A more straightforward view into the scope makes it easier in a number of ways.
I also have to concur that in a hunting rifle lower is more standard, right or not.
No. I shoot for real. I hunt and kill plenty. I do target shoot every weekend for fun though as I have my own 900 yard range beside the house.
What does that have to do with what I said. I basically agreed with both thoughts on scope mounting whether high or low. There are valid reasons for both.
Yeah i basically said the same thing just in less words. I agreed with you the first time.
Teaser. New SAUM is coming together nicely. Color is Gun Kandy Kracken.
Spuhr i use is model number SP-4002, it is 0 MOA.
But there is 38mm hight canted mount too.
So you do not need to change the picatinny rail.
Thanks. The reason I am investigating is to get MOA adjustment.
Those of you with Timney triggers on your Tikka.... Does the Timney have a bolt lock like the OEM trigger?
I have one somewhere if you're still looking for one. PM me if you haven't found one yet.
When I switched to positioning my rifle prone more center to my body on my collar bone, so less neck crooning, everything felt much better. It also made my weak side super easy to do as well. This also supported me doing offhand shooting as the placement moving from collar bone to shoulder pocket, still maintained the same neck/head spacing so I am able to get on sight in prone, weakside, and offhand w/o having to fiddle around to find my eyebox. I run low rings, but now I also need very little comb height. I was able to reduce my comb height by 1/2".
No it does not.
You can open the bolt with the safety on to unload and that's one of the best selling features for me.
Always hated that stupid bolt lock......
Funny- I always thought the bolt lock was a good feature. Guess that's why they make both
So does it have a sear block when it's on safe like the OEM and the Mitas? Got one coming from another member here but thank you!
When switching from my shoulder pocket, to more centered of the body, it meant my head was not resting as high my cheek, and more above the jawline, meaning that I had to lower my comb height so I'm not seeing over the scope.
