    Precision Rifles.....show em!!

    We had few Strasser RS700 rifles on our booth this year at the Salzburg show. They are my only choice when it comes to a straight pull action. Also come with M5 aics mag systems. We ordered two barrelled actions that are supposed to arrive soon. We were invited to a factory tour as well and...

    I bet that rifle is fun to shoot. The more you shoot that stock the more hooked you get. I know we designed the E-Tac but even so it puts a smile on my face every time I get behind one. Ever tried 75ELDM's for longer range in her? My T3 and 22-250 loves them. edi

    Tikka T3 Thread

    We have and have had several rifles built on T3 actions and have helped others in the process ranging from ultra light weight hunting rifles to PRS rigs and even F-Class rifles. None had issues with their Tikka actions. Then again ripping apart a well shooting tikka to get a doner action is hard...

    Tikka T3 & T3x lite barrel weight info - Please add!

    I weighed my Hardy carbon barrel when it arrived and it was lighter than the sporter barrel it replaced, can't remember by how much. The recent Proof carbon barrels we had fitted seemed a bit heavier... sorry no figures to support. My nacked Rem 700 (with rail) in a 700 gram PSE Evolution stock...

    I heard similar from other rifle manufacturers and rifle smiths in Denmark/Sweden. Hence the shape of the end of the action. There was talk of using huge torque. I don't know if it is true though. edi

    Is that your rifle in the Video? If yes, did the mag system fit into the E-Tac CTR footprint? edi

    I have a feeling that Skan Data was mainly to sort out the dimensional issues of chambers and case dimensions of the 6.5x55 in different countries. Max cart pressure never seemed to change. Looking at older German reloading books the 6.5x55 has been at 3800bar just like the 8x57 I of similar...

    Just measured one with the micrometer, Pin is 1.995 mm so pretty much bang on 2mm. 16.6mm length. edi

    BTW, the old, well used 22-250 T3 I bought arrived yesterday. When taking apart water dribbled out of the stock.... that is how some rifles are treated. Luckily there is hardly any rust except action screws. edi

    Pretty sure the pin is 2mm but will check when in the workshop. edi

    Bought a shot out 22-250 T3 for little money today. No use for it right now but we'll come up with a plan. One has to buy them when they show up. edi

    I'd like to think that. Truth is my son made me some fantastic stocks for my hunting rifles. He does not hunt very often and I hope he will join in more often in the next season. edi

    Last weekend we finished my son's rifle. T3 with 20MOA steel rail which I might change for a lighter Spuhr one. PSE Evolution monocoque carbon fibre stock with wide barrel channel and CTR mag inlet. Precision moulded bedding area with carbon pillar blocks. Proof prefit Sendero Carbon barrel 22"...

    Tikka tac action differences

    Only major thing I can think of is the ejection window which is larger in height on the t3X. Have something like 2.5mm in my head that the bottom edge is lower... I never measured it. Supposed to help ejection on Spuhr direct scope mounts. Spuhr used to mill out T3 actions that would use his...

    The absolute last thing I'd do is to try and rip apart a perfectly good rifle, throw half of it's parts away to start building a new one at possibly similar expense as buying a second rifle. Just shop around and get a t3 223 preferably with 1/8 twist. Even if 20" and light barrel. I am shooting...

    Tikka T1X

    So two options with the UPR T1X, either stock has a different inlet which means new stock moulds or floorplate is made with the CTR footprint which means new floorplate mould (or 3d print). I often throw the T1X into my CTR stocks and had these made by a friend in alu. This E-Tac stock normally...

    Tikka T1X

    T1X floorplate normally has the same footprint as the T3 Lite/Hunter/Varmint etc. The UPR stock uses the CTR magsystem /footprint or? These will not match up. I guess rear action screw will go in front one won't? I only worked on a UPR stock once, never had one of my own. Peter from PSE about...

    Throat in two of my 1/8 T3's seemed perfect for 75 A-Max/75 ELDM. shoulder junction on boat tail junction. Just need to run out of aics mags as they won't fit in the 223 T3 Lite mags. Shoot very well. edi
