    Tikka T3 Picture Thread.

    Maybe it's custom if they pay someone else to do it ;)

    Whats a realistic expectation?

    .5" at 300 yards is ~0.17moa... or 1/3rd the size of the 0.5moa mentioned above. 1/2moa isn't exactly world record material. Slight difference. I had a new shooter put 9 shots under 1/2" @ 100y with my custom 308 the first time she ever shot a centerfire (she had one flyer which threw the group...

    Gunsmithing Anyone Ackley'd a Sako 85?

    I was tossing up the idea of a 260AI'ing my 22-250. So tried some 260AI cases in my 243's, they get up the feed ramp fine, but when extracting the bolt hits the shoulder of the case in the magazine below it and jams, so can't extract the case unless I drop the mag out. Anyone faced this and...

    Rifle Scopes lapping rings?

    but at least you can get it to a point where it won't be detrimental to the optics.

    Rifle Scopes lapping rings?

    Nor from conversations with people who don't understand having the worlds best rings doesn't mean shit if the thing you're mounting it to isn't perfectly aligned. Other than being perfectly misaligned... Which you could lap out...

    better rings won't save you from a bad rail/mounts though.

    Micro slick ?

    yeah I had a few pints in me when I wrote that and rereading it doesn't even make sense to me. I have 2 customs microslicked, comparing them to the tikka (a very smooth factory action) they are noticeably 'slicker'. I don't run lube on the bolts - there is no need, they get a light coating in...

    Anyone ever compare Tikka t3 vs Stiller?

    must be an American thing, don't hear of any problems rebarrelling tikkas here in Australia.

    Micro slick ?

    It takes a while to wear in but when it does it makes my tikka bolt feel like shit. it's worth it.

    300 rum/338 edge build on a sako 85 L action? possible?

    Would it be possible to build a 338 edge on a 375h&h sako 85 action and magazine? I can't see why it wouldn't be possible, not sure about the magazine though...

    Muzzle Velocity Question

    42.6gr Varget and 155gr Amax? Yeah that sounds way too fast. I doubt you'd be pushing more than 2500fps with that load. Minimum recommended load for varget with 155's for a 308 is 44gr...

    .308- 1:10 twist rate- are 150gr bullets hopeless?

    Are you following me around? I will concede, that was some impressive shooting on your behalf. I didn't think you had it in you. And no, no pics for the gf's thread. Besides, you've already met her, and I'm sure you remember the trouble you got yourself into that time ;) I'm getting 2895fps out...

    .308- 1:10 twist rate- are 150gr bullets hopeless?

    I use 155gr dyers hbc exclusively in my aprs. 1 in 10 twist #9 24" Krieger on a stiller action. I've shot my share of 3shot groups under 0.2moa and 1/4moa 5 shots. It's a consistent shooter with these loads, but I'm not. with this rifle and load, I took my roommate shooting, and her first...

    Gunsmithing Which DBM for XL Action (300RUM/338Edge)

    I'm thinking about building a 300rum or 338 edge on a Pierce XL action, but unsure what DBM to go. Research is telling me I need a CIP bottom metal (is this correct?). Ideally, I would LOVE if there was something similar to the Sako 85 magazine, but in my searching I haven't come across...

    CDI TIKKA bottom metal and manners stock question possible problem

    My CDI short action was a direct drop in, perfect fit. Do you have the long action CDI or short action? Long action requires a bit extra milled out. I have a CDI LA DBM as well an just took to the stock with a dremel.

    Stiller Actions?

    Hey Matt, I own both a Stiller and a Pierce short action. I have to say the Pierce is a noticeably smoother action, the Stiller doesn't really have that "custom" feel to it - however the small ejection port on the Pierce short action is a pain when ejecting loaded rounds. If you don't do it...
