Literally right now waiting for a good shot during a cull hunt on Blackbuck antelope does this morning.
I am looking to build a proof Tikka as well. I just am worried about the OAL in a 300 win mag build. I am worried on the magazine lenght, because I would like to shoot the 220-212 grain bullets
I recently tried some 300WM Berger ammo loaded with the 215 Bergers and it not fit in my buddy’s Tikka mag.
Any tikka people running red snake bottom metal.
Anyone by chance have a source for a Trigger Tension Tab? I took mine off years ago for a chassis build and am now rebarreling to a Caebon McMillan and aftermarket OEM pattern bottom metal and will need it for the dinky factory mags.
Happy to pay someone that's taking theirs off for a chassis. (Would also cut some a deal on my KRG X-Ray that's for sale!)
Pic to be clear on what I need, the part #2.

I did the same thing. I think I know where mine is. I know trigger parts for tikka can be had from brownels. try that
Buddy of mine made one from a 27-mm pipe clamp. He converted his CTR to run with the Lite mags in a B&C stock. Works just fine. All that "tab" does is apply forward pressure on the plastic mag so it will catch and not fall out.

How’s it compare to a S&B PMII 5-25x56mm?

Maybe you can Just use a 20moa one piece mount and leave the tikka rail as is. The Taca1 scope base is higher than most. If you use an aftermarket canted scope base it will probably be much lower than what you have on there now and could run into height issues and will probably look like crap anyhow. I am talking offhand. I sold my Tac-a1 a year ago or more.Need help. I have a TacA1. My scope is a Razor Gen2. I have the highest Vortex rings on it. I would like to get a 20moa rail but if I do, I am afraid my bell will not clear the Tikka forend. Options?
Actually a 6.5 Creed that I like to shoot a mile. I would like to dial up instead of using the reticle.Maybe you can Just use a 20moa one piece mount and leave the tikka rail as is.

I’m guessing you have a .308 if you need a 20moa cant
Makes sense. That’s long way especially for that cartridge. At sea level where I live I don’t think it would make it reliably. How much do you hold in your reticle? Is 20moa enough.Actually a 6.5 Creed that I like to shoot a mile. I would like to dial up instead of using the reticle.
Density altitude here starts around 4200 and the high desert settles in around 6200. On good days it is doable, others not so much.Makes sense. That’s long way especially for that cartridge. At sea level where I live I don’t think it would make it reliably.
Spuhr 0 MOA mount and Minox 5-25x56 scope has plenty on clearance between the scope bell and forend, this is with factory picatinny rail.
I would use MDT ESS 20 MOA rail, that should be ok, for the height and size on the TAC A1.
Yes 20 gives me 7 extra.Makes sense. That’s long way especially for that cartridge. At sea level where I live I don’t think it would make it reliably. How much do you hold in your reticle? Is 20moa enough.

One reason is that on hunting rifles keeping everything low and compact makes sense as comfort when looking through the scope for twenty seconds before breaking the shot makes little differences and it keeps guys from having to purchase high dollar and heavy stocks with cheek risers or having to build up the stock itself.I don't understand the desire of folks to get their scope as low as possible. It seems like they're always buying and rebuying scope mounts whenever they change something. I use high mounts and prefer unimounts. 1.5" or 1.25". Just ensure you have HOB entered correctly in your ballistic calculator. Not only do high rings fit more configurations but they seem to accommodate varying positional shooting better than having a cramped workspace between your shoulder, neck, head, and firing hand.
I’ve been saying this too. Especially in the “shooting with glasses” threads. A more straightforward view into the scope makes it easier in a number of ways.I don't understand the desire of folks to get their scope as low as possible.

No. I shoot for real. I hunt and kill plenty. I do target shoot every weekend for fun though as I have my own 900 yard range beside the house.Do you shoot competition?
Yeah i basically said the same thing just in less words. I agreed with you the first time.Ya, I wasn't really talking about hunting rifles since Spuhr mounts and Minoxs were being discussed.
And it's not really about comfort as much as speed and ergonomics. If you find yourself struggling when shooting weak side often times it's because you have a constrained workspace as much as it is familiarity. Lowering the cheekpiece just a bit more than you actually need also helps.
That's why I was asking about competition. For guys who shoot unstructured or "target" shooting often there is now external force imposing problems on them and they aren't forced to address weaknesses. Some folks set the exam to facilitate the practice.
Viking I think the Sphur may be the way to go. Which ring height do I need?
Thanks. The reason I am investigating is to get MOA adjustment.Spuhr i use is model number SP-4002, it is 0 MOA.
But there is 38mm hight canted mount too.
So you do not need to change the picatinny rail.
I have one somewhere if you're still looking for one. PM me if you haven't found one yet.Anyone by chance have a source for a Trigger Tension Tab?

For the other readers out there.
Think about the orientation of your neck in the prone, kneeling, standing positions. Slightly different in each position, right. Usually a person establishes their comb height, LOP, cheek to stock weld, and eye relief in the prone position with LR Precision rifles. In the prone your body is generally horizontal and your neck mostly is as well. The length of your neck dictates your CtS weld and eye relief from your shoulder pocket. But when you stand up, your neck is vertical and this length becomes shortened.
I see a lot of folks that arbitrarily mount their scope rings and LOP. And then they slide their scope all the way back against the rings/ turret housing instead of supporting the scope in the middle of the tube. When they get into wierd positions they are stretching or compressing their neck. One of the reasons natural point of aim is so important in the fundamentals is that shooters tend to relax everything as they are taking the tail end of the slack out of the trigger, right before the break. If they're muscling the position, every thing tends to revert to the natural skeletal point of aim. You can see it in their necks.
The more vertical you make the relationship between your shoulder pocket and eye box, the more you reduce the horizontal-vertical variation in position. You do this by using high rings.
Apologies if this explanation is extruciatingly overstated. It's to better make my point, not to argue. I just think a lot of novice shooters get the idea that as low as possible is the right answer.
No it does not.Those of you with Timney triggers on your Tikka.... Does the Timney have a bolt lock like the OEM trigger?
Funny- I always thought the bolt lock was a good feature. Guess that's why they make both So does it have a sear block when it's on safe like the OEM and the Mitas?No it does not.
You can open the bolt with the safety on to unload and that's one of the best selling features for me.
Always hated that stupid bolt lock......
I have one somewhere if you're still looking for one. PM me if you haven't found one yet.
What did reducing your comb height do for you?
