I doubt it. M10 is pretty new.new trg to replace the m10?
I wouldn’t get rid of a t3 for a t3x. The recoil lug if you are using the factory stock can be swapped. If you buy an aftermarket stock, they come with a new lug anyhow. The plastic bolt shroud can be replaced cheaply as well. As far as the slightly smaller ejection port on your t3, have you been hampered by it it any way? The Sako TRG rifles have small ejection ports and its a non issue.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 one
Nope, no issues ejecting at all. I'm a huge fan of the rifle and as long as it keeps taking deer and shooting sub-MOA, I think I might be willing to show it some love and build on to itI wouldn’t get rid of a t3 for a t3x.

Thanks for the fantastic input. I think you just settled any doubt that I had. Great to have extremely knowledgeable individuals on this forum.Don’t trade it. Only differences from T3 to T3x that I’m aware of are:
So if you don’t have any feeding issues you don’t gain anything by updating T3 to T3x. You can buy improved stock cheaply second hand or get something better, replacing bolt shrout is 2 min job if you wish and your gunsmith can make “CTR cut” to T3 easily if you wish to go to CTR bottom metal using TRG mags.
- T3x has improved plastic stock (replaceable palm piece, better recoil pad and steel recoil lug)
- T3X has metallic bolt shrout which I bought for 10€ and there is also many nice aftermarket parts
- T3x has somehow “improved” rail attachment. There might be more bolt holes but I don’t have any issues with my T3.
- T3x has bigger ejection port for more reliable ejection. In theory I prefer T3 smaller one due stiffer action but there is probably no real gain
- And if I remember correctly T3x’s has the “CTR cut” underside action. It’s for CTR bottom metal so CTR bottom metal will fit to non CTR T3x without modifications
Next stop in to a cerakote.
After that spiral fluting, that barrel lost 200gram of weight, 7oz. and bolt about 1oz.
I had to measure that barrel after it came back from the gunsmith, it look so short, but it is still factory 20" barrel

@viking78 spends all his money on dressing up his rifles. He can only afford to shoot his camera and not the rifles!!!!Dang! Every one of your posts I’ve seen on this entire forum have not only beautiful, well put together weapons, but also skilled photography in picturesque backgrounds with excellent composition. Sincerest thanks for sharing all of them.
Can you confirm that you can take a "regular" T3X, put it in your CTR stock and use an Atlasworx CTR bottom metal?Atlasworx are very good to deal with. We use their LA T3 AI dbm since years. LA T3 /AI mag can be a bit tricky. We always bed the action first, then drop in the mag system with magazine in place so that it fits in the best natural position of the mag opening in the action. Rather have the stock inlet slightly too big so that the position can be found. Then bed the floorplate at least front and rear tang in exactly that position. Action screws only very very lightly tightened to bed. Once done the mag should click in position with very little play. To get a looser fit shorten the catch.

I must say that it is quite very interesting, that what Tikka has offer in to a 2020.
New rifle is already announced, but there is something new coming.
I could not believe that there is not coming totally new rifle.
If there is, 22LR rifles are very popylar these days.
Could it be something made aroung the T1X?
Tikka T1X precision TAC?
What do you guys think?

Won't ever happen I called last week to find a left hand 223 , well just like the left hand CTR they dont import them in the US the dude told me it wasn't cost effective to import them, I then asked him why there were sales on right hand rifles that distributors couldn't get rid of but most left hand rifles were out of stock , he had no answerActual support of Lefties?
?Guys, I'm a bit worried about the direction Tikka is heading in.
I have three Tikka's, and looking at getting a fourth one but probably second-hand.
Their new UPR features a stock that is obviously a copy of PSE composites offerings, even down to the colour scheme.
The factory bolt and barrel fluting seems unnecessary, I understand it is a popular aftermarket mod but fear this is being done just to look better on shelves.
Hopefully Barrrett is not trying to economise the Tikka line ala Remington 700 and Freedom Group, wouldn't want their fancy Fieldcraft rifle to be shown up by the Finnish offerings perhaps?
7 Sherman Max progress.
Manners EH1A. It’s inletted for CDI. I want to find a LA CDI for it but I may have to fill/bed in a Mountain Tactical DBM if I can’t.

Yes we do that all the time. T3 or T3X both difference when it comes to the Atlasworx.Can you confirm that you can take a "regular" T3X, put it in your CTR stock and use an Atlasworx CTR bottom metal?
Does the barrel protrude slightly wider than the action face of the front rifle. I know some guys get the action face machined back to avoid that but then prefits and takeoffs arent an option anymore. I would just let it be.Tikka T3s (Super Varmint basis)/Bix'n Andy trigger/Sterk bolt handle/shroud
back: MTU .260 Rem
front: "heavy" MTU 6mm ??

Rifle from the same factory, received it from a friend to test.
If you zoom in, he’s had his machined it looksDoes the barrel protrude slightly wider than the action face of the front rifle. I know some guys get the action face machined back to avoid that but then prefits and takeoffs arent an option anymore. I would just let it be.

So, which shot better, the Sako or the Tikka? Many people claim that the Tikkas are barrel rejects from the Sako factory. I can tell you from my experience that if these are rejects then the good barrels must be insane. All of my Sakos and Tikkas are about the same accuracy-wise at roughly .25-.50 MOA and have been since their first shots. Haven’t had the pleasure of shooting a new M110 yet but I’m going to assume they would be no different. You can’t go wrong with a rifle from either of these companies.
Only because I was looking for it. I would leave it alone as well if I decided to rebarrel that heavy. I would hate to lose the prefit option. That is a huge benefit over most if not all factory actions.yup! well spotted! was planning to then I got over it haha.
