The UPR looks interesting, would like to see street price.
Basically just a CTR with a manners/mcmillian style stock.

Yeah but how are you supposed to order it? I even called Beretta USA a couple months ago and they had no idea. I know exactly what I want just have no idea how to get it.Selecting Handedness - Left here:

should get you a lot of options.
... at least on my Windows laptop I get lots of options.
Anything with MTB at the end is a non US stock number. At least that is what I was told by Euro Optic. Tikka's website has alot of non US order-able guns.Yeah but how are you supposed to order it?

Edit: Just got off the phone with the Dallas Beretta flagship store and they can't even order it in. He says that they let him bring in special order (as in not normally imported) Sakos but not Tikkas.
Then why the heck do they have them on the /usa site if we can't get them?Anything with MTB at the end is a non US stock number. At least that is what I was told by Euro Optic. Tikka's website has alot of non US order-able guns.
I put a question about that on Tikka's Facebook. Not sure who and where will see the question, so answering might take time???Then why the heck do they have them on the /usa site if we can't get them?
Guys with Tikka factory 6.5CM barrels....
What are you finding/liking as far as OAL? Putting bullets close to the lands, or a jump?
I’m getting started reloading for the Tikka, and have worked up with a gage all the max OAL for my bullets where they touch the lands, and am surprised that the factory ammo I am shooting (well!) has quite a jump.
I know I need to try some different values and see for myself, but just curious what others have found on this.
thanks!
Thanks!Depending very much the bullet you use.
Lapua 123gr Scenar COL 70,8mm, 2mm off the lands shoot very well, 0 3 MOA 100-meters 5-shot.
Sierra MK 140gr need to be just a tiny bit off the lands after it does work.
I have been running all of my 140g / 142g bullets 0.020” off the lands just so I have that for consistency. between the different bullets. It’s a distance that I have used with other barrels and it seemed to work well.Guys with Tikka factory 6.5CM barrels....

If Tikka would offer the CTR model in some magnum flavors they would crush it. Simple as a 7 rem mag or 300 win mag would suffice. Ever better offer something new like the 300 prc or 7 saum or even the noslers. Come on Tikka.
The Tikka went to the hunting camp this past weekend and performed admirably, as expected. View attachment 7231685View attachment 7231686
This was the first trip out with my Form 1 home built suppressor and I’m really impressed at how much it cut down the muzzle blast.
The kittykat was snacking on a dead 9 point whitetail buck that was in the wood line on the other side of the green field. One shot took all 9 lives and the does that were in the field didn’t even pick their heads up.
The new @MDT_OFFICIAL ACC Stock worked well, but the additional weight was noticeable compared to the Bravo I had the barreled action in previously. Between the extra weight and the suppressor, spotting the hit was easy.
Went from a whiskey 3 to a MPA Comp BA along with a new timmey 2 stage (my first two stage). Range trip with the new chassis and trigger was a success for sure shooting 0.3moa with factory loads. Definitely not getting rid of this thing for awhile
Finally got the CTR all set up and ready to go.
looks to be quite the shooter with factory 140 ELDM. Liking the Ares ETR and am ready to stretch its legs a bit now.
My ACC is on the way. Glad to see the tikka MDT combo is a tack driver.
Well initially I was going to put it in a matrix as MPA had just released it but they wouldn’t email me back with a lead time and I had just sold the w-3 to fund that. I went with a mpa comp ba from another hide member. All in all I just wanted to try something different. I have zero complaints about the W-3 and would definitely own another one.Why did you switch from the W3? I’ve been curious about dropping my CTR in one as it’s in a Bravo right now (which I like a lot).
That was the main reason I bit the bullet and went with this chassis. The bravo is such a compelling buy at the price. But It’s nice to have the MDT purchase validated. The worst part is waiting for all the stuff to get here to complete the build.The adjustability is the biggest difference over the Bravo that the barred action was in.
The ability to make minute adjustments to the cheek riser to get your eye dead square in the scope eye box every time is much improved over the Bravo. Then the adjustments to the buttpad and LOP that aren’t spacer based.
Add in the integrated ARCA rail and all the M-Loc slots allow a lot of flexibility.
Once you use a bipod / clamp on an ARCA rail you’ll understand why it’s become such a popular system.
I think they may be barking up the wrong tree with that oneSo talking with triggertech rep @shotshow said they are looking to expanding their triggers and may be coming up with a tikka trigger
I doubt it. I’d switch every Tikka trigger I had to a diamond if I couldI think they may be barking up the wrong tree with that one
At which velocities or with which load do you run the 140 ELD-M?
Has anyone chambered a tikka tac a1 in 6 dasher? Or used dasher in ctr mags?
Anyone here ever seen velocities in the 2800's from a factory CTR 24" with factory 140 ELD-M?
Reason i ask is i'm going back through the data to start working on ballistic tables. From sighting in mine last week the recorded velocities we were getting averaged 2870fps and that seems to be significantly faster than what i've read about 140's out of a factory tikka barrel.
Obviously i'll have to go shoot more at distance to work it out... but was just curious.
Booth at Precision Rifle Expo told me one was coming. Soon.So talking with triggertech rep @shotshow said they are looking to expanding their triggers and may be coming up with a tikka trigger
Thanks!
I’m planning on Hornady 140 ELDM and 143 ELDX, also going to try Sierra Gameking Game Changer 130s.
Just need to put the time into the load development I guess!
Tikka T3 ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE WARNING. -Tikka T3 factory trigger.
Wondering if anyone has experienced this before. It just happened to me this weekend and I wanted to owners to know.
I had a live accidental discharge while hunting.
After taking this stock apart and looking at it closer the allen screw that holds the trigger mechanism to the action had slightly come loose which then allowed the safety to move enough to somehow engage the sear. Just wanted to throw this out there, not sure anyone has run across it before, but owners and Tikka should definitely know this could happen and luckily this time the bullet went into the ground and not somebody or something unintentionally.

I adjusted my CTR trigger on my Tikka to as light as I could get it, and noticed it dry firing when I slammed the bolt really hard on an empty rifle. Be careful.
Is the T3 still relevant? Seems like Tikka's really pushing the new T3X's and I'm debating if I want to sell my T3 and move in that direction. What major differences are there?
So I'm indeed rocking a 30/06 in my T3. Still on the fence with working on the action or moving to the T3X. Your input helps though. May end up just changing rifles before I get too deep into this oneI think the main differences are the size of the ejection port ( Larger ), metal bolt shroud and steel recoil log on the T3x.
Not really worth an upgrade unless you’re shooting a 30/06 or standard belted magnum sized cartridge.
Anyone know the price (street or MSRP) of the T3X UPR? Can’t seem to find much info about it yet, even on Tikka’s website.
https://choose.tikka.fi/usa/tikka/t3x-uprAnyone hear anything about weights on the new line up? Specifically the UPR?
