With the cheekpeice off is the inside foam exposed? If not I will pull mine off and put on one of my stock packs. With the cheek peice installed plus the stock pack, the stock is entirely too wide and i have to dang near lay my head sideways.
My bipod and scope caps finally came today. I also took off the cheek piece and the foam inside the stock and filled it with 6 lbs of lead. The current cheek rest is temporary, until my adjustable kydex one arrives. It weighs about 16 lbs right now.

No turning back
A great looking rifles! Looking at your other photos on the net, can you please tell if device at the top of the barrel is a muzzle break or silencer and if you have a link to manufacturer or a name of the model. Thanks...

Let's talk about these little cans; what are they?
You need to ad a T1x to the mix

Just got off the phone with support. They're sending me the vertical pistol grip. They said it should be included with the CTR. As for the missing leaf spring under the trigger mounting screw, was told it's not necessary on the CTR. I searched for info on misfeeds and found solution that tightens up magazine. We'll see.My first post here. I too just bought a CTR in 6.5CM and picked it up yesterday. I bought 200 120g SMK and loaded 25 to sight-in/break-in. I didn't even measure the loads. I merely adjusted my powder drop to a moderate Varget load and dropped right into the case. I'm assuming there was a -.2 to +.2 or greater variation. My thinking was that "I'm going to spend most of the time cleaning after sight in" Long story short, after cleaning the night before to the point of no copper indication, the barrel appeared to have already been broken in sufficiently. After the first shot at the range, no copper. Shot 4 next....no copper.

unmarked group is sight in and just getting used to it. Group 1 is 100 yds. Group 2, 200 yd, group 3 200 yd after adding muzzle brake. Trigger was very heavy, I'd say 4-5 lb.
After I got home I installed the Yodave spring in the trigger. When I looked at the instructions for doing so on Youtube I noticed that a leaf spring was under the trigger screw (on the video that is). On my rifle, there was no such spring. I also didn't get an accessory vertical handgrip.
Out of 25 rounds fired I had about 3 instances of the round not being fed from the mag resulting in a dry fire. Could that be due to missing leaf spring?
I'm lovin' me some Tikka.
Good to hear you're getting everything figured out. I know with mine, if I don't bring the bolt all the way to the rear [laziness] then it can skip a round and "click" on an empty chamber. Others have done the same on my rifle. I've found that if I run it like I mean it or intentionally make sure I manipulate the bolt fully, it does great. Love my Tikka though.Just got off the phone with support. They're sending me the vertical pistol grip. They said it should be included with the CTR.

If you shop around you might find some sales on the 4th.....Anyone currently running the Timney T3 2-stage. I can't get my current trigger < 2.5 lbs even with different springs, so I'm going to have to call Beretta on Monday and they will take care of it. That might mean 2-3 weeks before I get it back.
So while waiting... I could just go for something different, and a Timney 2-stage for $200 could be pretty good. The T3 single stage trigger is really nice & crisp, so I wouldn't want to replace it w/ another single stage, so if I'm going to spend some $, might as well go for a 2-stage.
I saw someone recently sell their 2-stage so maybe they just didn't like it. Looking to get some feedback on what people are thinking?
Have you take out the sping and the pin of the trigger?
If you have put them back that pin wrong way, it might cause trouble.
Never heard that you could not get factory Tikka trigger under 2lbs with the factory sping, because i have had it 1,7 lbs.
Yodaves sping it goes in to a 1lbs.
I have Timney, KRG, and Tikka 2-stage triggers.
What you want to know of these?

I bought 2 of the Timney's and put my factory triggers in a box and never looked back.....
Man I didn't realize how much those things were going for nowAny idea of sample sites? I see it retail for around $224.99 and I have some 5/10% coupons at various places, then hit/miss with shipping/tax.
Lowest I've seen it is $175 on Ebay... but Tax/Shipping put me at $205.
Calling you Tikka experts?!!!
I have a spare older T3 barreled action laying around and ordered a barrel to make myself a second prs match rifle. I went to adjust the factory trigger down like I did on my t3x CTR and bottomed out the trigger set screw against the trigger to action mounting screw and now it's dropping the firing pin if I slam the bolt home hard. Tested my CTR with the exact same setting and its 100% and won't slam fire no matter how hard I slam the bolt. Any advise? Barreled action is a 243 from 2011 or so. Never been modified or touched until today.
When you say tested your CTR with the exact same setting, do you mean you swapped the triggers, or you just meant you bottomed out the set screw?
I've found a few posts where there were some defective Tikka triggers that wouldn't adjust < 2.5 lbs, and working the set screw wouldn't do much. I had to move my set screw in a bit to stop it from dropping the firing pin, but it's still at around 2.5-2.6 lbs. A few people I talked to had to call Beretta to get them to warranty it. I'll be doing that on Monday.
Brentwinkey,
You have the adjustment screw out too far taking preload off the stock spring. Minor manufacturing tolerances would explain why one is ok, the other not. I've seen this problem many times. Put a lighter gauge spring in, i use wolff mini coil spring pack from Brownells, find a suitable spring and cut it a little longer than factory spring. I've got 7 tikka triggers all with this mod and 1lb triggers. Nil issues.
I was actually considering putting either the yo Dave or similar spring kit in since I do like about a 1-1.5 lb trigger for prs type shooting. I think I might call Beretta just to ask if there's an issue with it or whatever.
This is why we can’t have nice things, don’t file a complaint, don’t call your lawyer. The Tikka trigger is an excellent piece of kit but it is mass produced and subject to machine tolerances as Dino said. At spec they are supposed to be adjustable to 1kg, I've owned a lot of them and some are a little below and some are a little above. Exercise judgment and don’t apply force backing out the screw past the limit of contact with the housing. If you have slamfires that would qualify as an indication you went too far.
So something isn't quite right with that one. Have you taken the trigger off and put it back? I'm just wondering if it is installed quite right. Either before you got it, or by you.I'm not jumping to conclusions just more confused then anything...I have several tikkas I think they have the best factory triggers by far. Just seems odd that it would slam fire on the same setting as my other guns. I understand various manufacturing tolerance and what not. I far from forcing anything the adjustment screw just contacted the trigger group to action screw just like my other rifles and that's where I tested and got a almost 100% failure rate on it slam firing.
I'm sorry I haven't read this whole thread but if you changed the spring and accidentally reversed the plunger it will not work right. The short end fits into the spring. I made this mistake myself because the plunger fell out and rolled around on the table when dumped the spring out. I couldn't tell how it was originally installed and put it in backwards.
