Bolt for Tikka Tact A1 6.5 Creedmoor

[T_o_m]

I have a Tikka Tact A1 6.5 Creedmoor. I have been unable to find a replacement bolt. I have been in contact with the Beretta rep for the dealer where I purchased it, and he said Tikka is no longer manufacturing this rifle and he cannot even find a bolt himself. Does anyone have this bolt available or know where to get one? Thanks!

The bolt for the Tact A1 only differs from the standard bolts in surface coating. Any standard bolt face T3/T3x bolt will do the job, so a .243 or .308 (for example) T3/T3x bolt will fit. You might need to reset the barrel to ensure correct headspace. So unless you want a picture perfect Tact A1, get any ol' standard bolt for it.

I once ran my T3 9.3x62 bolt in my T3x 6.5 Creedmoor since I managed to forget the 6.5 bolt in the safe at home - it worked, but I wouldn't recommend doing it regularly.
