I've always had a soft spot for that rifle (hence the username). Just looks like a rifle should look.View attachment 7554942
When I first got my Remington 700 Police and thought I would keep it as a basic set up. It was a short lived experiment and eventually it was rebuilt to resemble a Mark 13 mod 5.

I like the looks of it too. But this was a 300 WM and it has a bit too rough to shoot like that. I kept at it for a few months but after having left the range with a numb shoulder and huge problems to keep it shooting the way it should I started to make changes. If it were a .308 winchester things would problably pan out differently.I've always had a soft spot for that rifle (hence the username). Just looks like a rifle should look.
Tell me everything about this rifle please
And in its final and current stage, it looks like this:I've always had a soft spot for that rifle (hence the username). Just looks like a rifle should look.

That post was from almost 4 years ago lol.... Doubt he chimes in, but maybe someone else can toss you some input.How do you like your TL3?
very nice. like the Heym'sBrand new hunting rifle

What does it weigh?I changed out my Tikka Tac A1 to a Cadex Defense Field chassis. I liked the Tikka chassis but kept having rust problems with it anytime I went hunting, shot in the snow or encountered literally any moisture. I'm very happy with the chassis so far, I do feel the trigger reach is a little long but not bad with the vertical ergo grip. Still has the same excellent accuracy as before. Pretty excited to take some hogs with it now that I have a new RRS Anvil 30 ball head coming to replace my no name pos head that's falling apart.

I believe it's a little over 15 lbs all together.What does it weigh?
The chassis is mostly an aluminum body but has different steel sling points and small parts that got rust into them. The mags would also pick up surface rust. I could always get it off, but it was mildly frustrating and began to get old. I've had the rifle for 2 years up to that point with about 3800 rounds through it and was very happy otherwise. Unless you're planning on shooting in the rain & snow alot or dealing with lots of condensation I doubt rust would be an issue for you. I've never heard of any other people having problems with this, most say the mags have issues, which I did not have.I’ve been looking at tikka tax a1’s to add to my collection, is the tikka chassis steel or aluminum or were dealing with rust on the action and barrel?
@VargmatII What made you swap from an S&B to the NXS?
are there any feeding / ejection issues?Later on I sold the complete 6.5x47L set up and got myself a TRG22, which is my current go to rifle.
You missed the selling part. My 6.5x47 was sold and the TRG replaced it. My TRG is a regular 308 win.are there any feeding / ejection issues?
I've heard many stories that the TRG magazine does not work with 6.5x47 reliably.

Might want to switch the cheekpiece around, the cut out is there to clear the bolt. And that scope is mounted way forward, it looks very strange. You will probably want to set that up better?!First " poors " PR build with A LOT of help from a buddy! The plan is to upgrade the optic later this year. I am also building a suppressor for it ( form 1 waiting on the stamp ). I am looking forward to pushing it out to 1000 yards once the snow melts.

See, I said it was my first build. It was on correctly, I took it off to add spacers to the butt stock and clearly wasn't paying attention to the direction when I put it back on. As for the scope, I haven't been on the gun yet since installing it. The rings are just finger tight until I get to shoot it.Might want to switch the cheekpiece around, the cut out is there to clear the bolt.

Lol. Not that big. I haven't been on the gun yet since installing it. The rings are just finger tight until I get to shoot it.How big a boy are ya?! lol
can you get a good sight picture with your LOP way out and your scope so far forward?
Nice rifle.
You can check out this video to help to determine if you need to take out some of those spacers. This is important for allowing a 90 degree trigger finger, pressing straight to the rear. Also for allowing yourself to get your body perpendicular to the rifle to manage recoil so you can observe your impacts or misses downrange, through the scope.Lol. Not that big.

Thanks!
