Now I'm really wanting a W3 on my tikka. You, jaredCo, and reubinski are probably going to get some thanks from KRG for being the best salesmen of the year soon.

So when did they start using one size bolt stop ?All factory Tikka T3X models have only one bolt stop in these days.
Tikka T3 time, short ammo use action has shorter bolt move than they have now.
I have bought short T3 bolt stop for all my KRG chassis rifles, since that deam bolt is coming to my arm pit on the T3X model.
One way to save money in the factory.
That stopper dont cost much, and it is very nice improvment.
That Australian custom stopper is looking cool, you can fine tune that bolt movement.
Great thanks - I trust these rings will work well!that first picture is from before I had adjusted anything, and just mounted the scope.
This is how it sits today, and the cheek rest is about right for me at this height. Also, in this pic you can see the gap between the scope and rail a little better from this angle.

I've shot the Hornaday 140s before and found them to be a good load but these 147s are something else entirely. We were dialed in at 5.4 mils of elevation, and a full 1 mil left for wind, they would just sail right in to exactly where you pointed them.
T3X was introduced in 2016So when did they start using one size bolt stop ?
In the T3X .So when did they start using one size bolt stop ?

That's interesting,In the T3X .
Confirmed!
I have the exact same rifle and am using the same bullet for LR.
Only the 139 Lapua Scenar is a tad more precise, but unfortunately has a much lower BC, so the 147 ELD is the way to go for me too.
At which velocity do you run yours?
Cheers,
Jay
Can't attach.Thanks - would you happen to have a photo of your rifle?
I have a TacA1 and wanted to get a 20 moa mount or rail. I ordered a Sphur 20 MOA ring mount and it will be here tomorrow. I was told the 56mm bell will fit it. Hope so!Tikka T3 Information
That's interesting,
You're the first person that I have seen that posted that the T3x only comes with long action bolt stops.
My 6.5 T3x CTR which I bought when they first came out with the 24" barrel came with the mid size bolt stop.
I seriously doubt that the .223 rifles have the same bolt stop as the .30-06, for example. Are you 100% sure?There is only 2 size bolt stop in the Tikka.
And what i have been looking, all the T3X rifles seem to be in the long stop version.
Like i had Tikka T3X TAC A1, it has the long bolt stop, and 100% sure that the bolt stop is long in your rifle too, since it use CTR magazine.
I have ordered from Sako, the factory that makes Tikka rifles too, a T3X bolt stop.
I ask that do you have it short action, they say that in T3X is only one model.
So that´s why i know that T3X has only one size bolt stop, and it is long.
Like i writed earlierl, i have orderd from Sako a T3 model short bolt stop, and i have those in all my T3X actions that use AICS magazines on my KRG chassies.
It´s not big, maybe 10mm the lenght on the short and lonf bolt stop movement, but it makes quite big result on the bolt action.

I'm putting together a CTR build for a hunting rifle and was wondering who all had pillars installed on their Manners stocks? Is it necessary to do this and also bed the rifle? The stock I picked up is inletted for CDI bottom metal and does not have the mini chassis. Every Manners I have bought was for a 700 footprint and had a mini chassis.
I seriously doubt that the .223 rifles have the same bolt stop as the .30-06, for example. Are you 100% sure?
Well it must be something that Tikka does in your countries overseas.There is only 2 size bolt stop in the Tikka.

I'm trying to keep up with these bolt stops but I really do not know much about what size it should be... I have a T3X CTR 308. What do I buy to make it more efficient of a bolt stop so I'm not doing a long throw on a .308 cartridge?
No way of knowing that till you pull out your bolt stop to see what size you have......I'm trying to keep up with these bolt stops but I really do not know much about what size it should be...

I can tell you 100% that my 6.5CM T3x CTR came with a mid length bolt stop.
Pictures I shot of my bolt stops including my CTR T3x.
Other people have confirmed that not only their T3 but also their T3x CTR came with the mid size stop.View attachment 7173666View attachment 7173667
Here is another Picture of the Mid size CTR stop....

The long and the short stops are what came in the 2 piece package and yes the outer pattern is different on the T3x which is what I posted in the middle above.Interesting.
I need to check out my 4 Tikka rifle bolt stop, what do they look like.
Were those all T3X , or T3 ?
Out side is different on T3X.

I have two tikka's apart right now and I just checked, and my T3X 6.5 CM superlite has the medium bolt stop, and my T3X .223 has the short stop. And the 6.5CM has a 'M+' on the magazine (stock plastic mag). So my 223 has 'S', my 22-250 has 'M', and 6.5 CM has 'M+' and I sold my 25-06 so I have no info on those mags.Well it must be something that Tikka does in your countries overseas.

Here is a 300WM T3Lite that I turned into a 6.5 PRC that shows the standard T3 outer pattern.

Well, you know, every one want´s to be right.
Im glad that i was not right, but i did check it from the factory.
So now we know, very importand thing .
It´s all about the nuance, we want to keep it in tight tolerance.
Hah, just kidding, it´s good that we keep the talk alive here.
Best product since the NOKIA in the USA, dont you guys think so?
And these things do not give up after 2 years.
I love Tikka, and if you do not believe it, check this s..t out.
AND NO, Tikka does noet pay me of this, it´s just that simple, Tikka rifles are so good.

Oh shit, thats you? I follow your page. Love that camo tikka in the camo W3. Makes me want to buy another tikka again and do something similar. I regret selling mine.
Yo viking78,
this 2bullets+ thingy, is that from Finland?
Exactly!
Thanks man.
I believe short action precision also makes a two round holder. I bought two from them.
For anyone looking for a Tikka rail, Area 419 makes a great one. I just picked one up in 20 MOA this week and it is top notch at a fair price. It is 7075 aluminum (a bit harder than the cheaper grade), has a recoil lug built in, the finish is great with no rough edges, and machining was spot on so I didn't need to bed it. I'm not affiliated with them in any way but I appreciate it when others give feedback so thought I would share my experience.
Have you heated it up yet? Others have said that a clothes iron works great. Even heat and easy to use. Don't recall heat setting.so I have the same rail and I was planning on installing it on my CTR. The front two screws came out no problem the two screws closest to rear were on there so tight I started to strip the screws. I can’t get them off. What are you guys doing to get them off. And if they are stripped am I fucked or is there something I can do to get the screws loose. #helpneeded
Screws on mine were plastic. Had one strip so I got a pin punch smaller than the hole and punched it through. Didn't mess up the threads luckily. Forgot about the heat gun trick.so I have the same rail and I was planning on installing it on my CTR.

When you say they are stripped, are you talking threads or the screw head?so I have the same rail and I was planning on installing it on my CTR.

Unlike the standard models that come without a rail and have plastic filler plugs, a CTR comes with a rail installed so they aren't plastic.They are plastic plugs, just push them through
My base screws unscrewed easily. They just had a dab of white thread locker on them it looked like. I also rebarreled three tikkas this weekend and the barrels came off by smacking the action wrench handle with my hand. Did not have the trouble most guys post. Two stainless and one blues. They were all T3x actions. Another member in the gunsmith section said that may be the difference.so I have the same rail and I was planning on installing it on my CTR.

The heads started to strip so I stopped. I might try and heat up the screws and see if that works. Any other ideas?When you say they are stripped, are you talking threads or the screw head?
