Tikka actions

[CaptArab]

My guess is that is why they are slow.

If you use that throat to seat the bullet way out and shove more powder in the case, turns out they aren't always so slow after all.

No shit. Factory ammo will always be the most commonly used though.

Was agreeing with you- this isn't obvious to most people

We see this right away, but I often forget that the vast majority don’t reload, and once they hear something is “slow”, they don’t buy it. I think it worked for Weatherby because Weatherby ammo was designed with the long freebore in mind.

I want 300wsm , want a better than average but don’t need PRS hunting rifle, 7.5-8.5 lbs.
I have a custom 6.5 PRC already. TL3 action, Mullerworks carbon barrel, AG Composite carbon fiber stock.its about 12lbs with glass. It’s a tack driver and fun to shoot, but it going to lighten next rifle.
Thinking of going with tikka action, Mullerworks, rock creek, or bartlain barrel, not sure if I want carbon or fluted m24 barrel. I have a model 70 300wsm but not thrilled with there “90s” actions when there were in financial troubles.
Still want to have fun with it off the bench and reloads,but a serious hunting rifle too.

Easy button right there. I have a WSM I built off a tikka with the long action bolt stop. Carbon six sendero 22” barrel and a Mesa precision stock with a Burris XTR3 3.3-18. It’s right around 12 pounds with a double pull ckye pod on it

When I want a rifle that requires a tool to disassemble as part of the cleaning process, and forces me to deal with a customer service department with a horrible reputation, I choose Tikka.

Barrel speed of my 20" Stainless 308 CTR's and a 20" blued T3 Lite 308 were the same as a 20" blued Lothar Walther 308 barrel 1/12 we also have. Our 1/13 Bartlein Palma possibly tight bore also 20" was slightly faster. Also our 1/13 Lilja 20" Palma seemed a bit faster.

Well... There is a reason why sniper rifles, precision rifles, competition rifles, and LR hunting rifles have always had heavy profile "bull" barrels... Just saying... There has to be some sort of method behind the madness.

Plus, the added weight, also helps plant your rifle by keeping it steady from being susceptible to small movements while your trying to stay on target at longer ranges where everything is much smaller through the scope, and the slightest movement at the wrong time can mean the difference between eating dinner, or going hungry.

You mean to tell me that it is easier to shoot heavy rifles well than light weight ones?

Oh for sure; there's no comparison between a heavy bull like an M40 profile and my really light 'bull' barrels like my SSG69. The SSG still shoots for quite a while but not like my heavier barrels do. I just thought the difference between the german light weight barrels and some US pencil barrels was fascinating. Totally different behaviors.

I was going to say the exact same thing. Just buy this and you'll have a lot of your requirements filled I believe.

Anyone here know if they make an extended mag releases for the T3X factory bottom 'metal'?

No..The entire purpose of the factory setup is flush fit no snag and sleek. If you want a big honkin lever on it go aics.
