    6mm BR Lapua Brass or 6 Dasher w/ trimmed Norma brass (don't want to fireform)

    I haven't seen formed Lapua side by side by with the Norma 6mm Dasher factory brass, and I can't find any reference to differences in the actual dimensions (e.g. OAL of one versus the other) despite looking through forum threads. I am gleaning that the primary difference in external dimensions...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I should have been more specific regarding stocks; I'm talking stocks that are approximately equivalent. I wonder how the TacA1 or the TSR-1 compares to a TRG-22 with the same cartridge and barrel, same shooter and ammo. It's merely an academic musing.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I have a general question, pertaining to the accuracy guarantees of modern Tikka and Sako rifles. If the barrels are the same and there is general agreement that the actions are true in all of the right places, why then the supposed greater out-of-the-box accuracy of the Sako? This question is...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I've used the standard .300 WM AICS mags in the past with the .284 Win without issue (5 rounds go in); I prefer the double stack mag when I can get it, which is the only reason that I'm considering the TRG-mag version. If they tell me that it's a non-starter, then I will go with the AICS...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I did it in my laminate Sporter stock; this was some time back, but I recall needing to remove some material from the stock near the front action screw; did it with a Dremel. At the same time, I installed steel pillars. This DBM uses the plastic factory mags. Very nice piece, and I would...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Thank you; I will. I hadn't heard about CDI. That's too bad; super nice guy. I've also looked into the Redsnake DBM options and may go that route on a laminate stock.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Bolt knob question: there was a time when one could purchase directly from Sterk in Australia; is this still possible? I'm not a FB user so have no idea if he's operating directly through that channel, but I can see a bunch of retailers in the States carrying his items, however they are out of...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Going with the longer AICS-type mags has generally required inletting. I've used CDI's DBM in an A5 with my .284 Win loaded out to lengths permitting high BC projectiles to be 0.010 - 0.012 off of the lands, longer than I could manage with the factory plastic long action mags. Never an issue...

    KRG Bravo for CTR that can take TRG/CTR mags?

    Massoud - Would it be possible for interested members on this thread to receive a PM regarding availability of these stocks when they are anticipated to be released? This would be opposed to simply making a general announcement in a different thread, since some of us may not be scouring the new...

    That would make great sense if possible.

    KRG Bravo for CTR that can take TRG/CTR mags?

    I'm in, also. Would LOVE to see you guys make a Bravo that will accommodate long action cartridges for the T3/T3x, also (i.e. with TRG 300WM mags). I'd buy two. In addition to the CTR mag-compatible Bravo.

    Gunsmithing Tikka Criterion Pre-fits

    Danny, I appreciate the reply. I've spoken with Tim on numerous occasions; always a pleasant conversation. I'm wanting to get some unbiased feedback on these, though, as opposed to speaking with the dealer. I don't doubt for one moment that Tim would only represent his actual experiences with...

    Gunsmithing Tikka Criterion Pre-fits

    Wondering if anyone following this thread wound up purchasing a Criterion barrel for their Tikka and, if so, how it's shooting. I've had no luck finding much info about actual shooter experience from a consumer.
