    Tikka T3 upgrades

    You rocking a .260 Sporter too? I love mine, and its a decent match gun as well. If only they made 10 rd magazines for it, it would be perfect. As it is, I am going to swap it into the new X-ray chassis.

    I might be the first sign-up. Also Jake, can I grab one of the spots in the guest house for Saturday night? Seems like the best place to stay since I am not much of a camper.

    2014 2nd Annual Matt Karstetter Memorial Field Match, Wilbur WA

    Also, can we check zeros the morning of the match, or before the 1750 yd shot? I'm shooting 139 scenars in my .260, but might try a different bullet for the long shoot.

    Tikka T3 upgrades

    I have a Tikka .260 sporter, and went with a Tikka Performance 20 moa picatinny rail. It comes with a lug that fits into the tikka action, and has been rock solid for me so far - https://tikkaperformance.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=156_59_67&product_id=445 Also check out the X-Ray...

    New X-Ray Chassis from KRG-now shipping!

    Yeah, I saw those too. I think I'll go with the AI mags to start with at least. Also, has anybody tried the Ruger Gunsite mags (either polymer or metal) with the Tikka T3 in X-ray or Whiskey 3? Just trying to figure out all my mag options - a shorter 10 rd mag would be nice.

    New X-Ray Chassis from KRG-now shipping!

    I got the X-ray delivered yesterday, but haven't had a chance to mount my Tikka in it yet. That will have to wait till I am back in town, but maybe I'll be able to get the spigot mount by then too. Any recommendations on what AICS magazines to run with this chassis? I'm liking the Alpha mags...

    New X-Ray Chassis from KRG-now shipping!

    I use a biathlon sling, and I like having it side mounted. No side mounting options up front on the X-ray forend make that hard. I think the spigot mount with the bipod closer to the bore and the side mounting options is a no-brainer.

    New X-Ray Chassis from KRG-now shipping!

    Yeah, it looks like the spigot mount is a must have for the X-ray. Just wish they were in stock so I could just order it as one package.

    Tikka T3 Sporter 308 barrel length recommendations.

    If you want to shoot beyond 1000, you really should look at the .260. I have the .260 24" and love it. In .308, if you are using factory ammo there isn't much difference between 20" and 24" (https://www.snipercentral.com/matchammo.htm), and you'll probably appreciate the shorter barrel with a...

    New X-Ray Chassis from KRG-now shipping!

    Does anyone know if the X-ray will feed AW mags reliably? It says AICS, so I suspect not, but just want to confirm.

    New X-Ray Chassis from KRG-now shipping!

    Just got my email that the Tikka T3 X-rays are shipping. I ordered one, but I have a question on whether shipping is free or not when you pay with a check. But super excited to bolt my Tikka into this when it ships.

    Now if only you'd said Saturday or Sunday - I'll be flying into Portland from LA on Friday morning, so definitely can't do that.
