What is the painter's tape for on the eyepiece end of the scope?
Tikka T3x Lite in 6.5CM dropped into a KRG X-Ray as my deer gun. Hoping to change the optic for next season (thinking NX8 2.5-20) and eventually having the barrel changed to a 18" CF barrel. Currently weighs in around 10.5lbs.
You can take a round file and put the slot in the bravo yourself.
I really like it. Feels just like my Whiskey 3 but at a pound lighter. Lose the folding mechanism and the toolless adjustable lop, but for a a hunting set up that I'm not crawling up a mountain with, it's been perfect so far.
No deer died on opening day. But I did get to spend some time watching this guy.
Side note: I really like the Razor LHT. Clicks are positive and repeatable. Glass is super clear for the money. Lockable at maximum point blank range.

Don’t think the t3 will sit into a ctr stock without modification. There is a spot on the bottom of the t3 action that needs to be machined to fit a ctr stock. Think all of the t3x’s come with the action machined like the ctr, but not the original t3.
Hello, first time here.
This is my multipurpose hunting and range fun t3x(hunter) 308 .
Put it in a factory laminated stock and inlet it to fit ctr bottom metal. Barrel is 16" and suppreasor is Ase utra jet-z compact. Cheek pad is a formed factory piece velcrod on.
Some shots at 300m on 10cm plate
Nice reading everones posts!

There are a few companies that sell AICS bottom metal for Tikka's. look at Mountain Tactical and redsnake tactical. Also MDT and XLR make a left hand chassis for lefties.
you’re right it’s not the best pic.... your gun is “backwards”. LOL
Can anyone recommend a new chassis for a t3 varmint (308). Used almost exclusively for hunting, so want to keep it somewhat light weight. All my accessories (bipods etc etc) are pic rails compatible. If anyone could give me an approximate weight rating that'd be very helpful too!
i hunt with my varmint in an ess. carry it in the patrol carry position. works well. mine weights around the 8kg mark with torches on it. swisse have new vitamins that could help some with heavier rigs.
I'm about to take position of a TAC A1 in 308. does the 1-11 twist Bbl. like any particular bullet or weight ? Max range 600 yds. I know barrels are like women, each is an individual onto it's self, but in general they all like certain items that are usually $$$$$$.
With the 600 yd. limit I'm hoping the 155 or 168's will work.

Did some load development the other day. Gonna shoot this in PRS tac division next year. Tikka T3x rebarreled by Tim at Solid Accuracy with a Criterion 26" 10tw bull barrel.

Looking forward to loading up some more and taking it out further.

Here's mine, I built for PRS specifically. First rounds through it in august, just hit 1300 down the pipe this week. It is a CTR in 6.5CM that I dropped into a KRG XRay with AICS mags. I am having a 6GT barrel spun up for it next month.
To get it to balance the way I wanted, I needed the KRG t-slot weight and then an MDT mlok weight kit, but that did the trick and its perfectly balanced 1-2" ahead of the mag well.
For the money I have into this thing, I'm insanely pleased with it, I firmly believe that the factory tikka action can stand toe to toe with a lot of custom actions. The factory single stage trigger with a trigger spring is phenomenal, I don't plan on changing it out. One thing I really didn't like with the factory configuration was the bolt handle angle and the bolt knob itself, so I swapped those out for an anarchy outdoors handle and a area419 knob, it works much better for me.

Looks great! I agree, love the Tikka actions. I purposely got a heavy ass barrel and then packed the rear of the bravo stock with wheel weights. Ended up balancing out great.
Thank you!
My 6GT is going to be a proof competition profile, so I will be changing the weights around. I've also got a line on an MDT ACC, and if that works out I'll swap it into that, and sell the XRay. For the price I don't think you can really beat the Xray, its just hard to balance out properly with a sporter profile barrel that the factory Tikka comes with.
While that is true, I tend to perscribe to the school of thought that if the gun must have more weight forward of the magwell, I'd like it to come from the barrel before it comes from steel weights.
I dont know about you guys, but I was hoping to have shot out my T3x Lite 7mm RemMag barrel after 1000-1200 rounds.... or at least having the accuracy begin to open up A LITTLE.
I'm the 3rd owner of this rifle/action and it had an unknown number of rounds down the barrel when I got it. I have put 1000-1200 down the bore and these were the last 5 I shot...
These cold hammer forged barrels are something special
Oh, and Berger 168 Classic Hunters, 0.020 off the lands, 0.002" neck tension, 68.5gr of Reloder 26, R-P Brass, and 215M primers is what did that group. 2950fps, so its moving right along.

With this light of a barrel and the heavy scope it won't balance without added weight.
It's also built specifically for PRS where added weight is an advantage in terms of recoil mitigation. This rig comes in right under 16lbs, pretty light in the land of 20lb+ rifles
If you cannot lever a tree stump out with your barrel, it's too light.
Does anybody have experience with the 300 win mag t3x (mainly how they shoot and what velocities people get)? I'm thinking about getting one for a normal hunting rig. I realize they don't let you load very long, but I don't plan on doing super long range shooting/hunting with it. Probably 5-600 yard limit. I mostly want 300 win mag since I already have a Savage (which I'll probably sell) and factory ammo is available if need be. I would also get it threaded and throw a brake on it to make the recoil more tolerable.
XLR magnesium, lighter than many traditional stocks. Easy to add things to it if you want, I have no issues hunting with mine. Slings the same as a regular stock for me, I also shoot offhand, kneeling, sitting regularly too.
New to the forum, recently bought my first "long range" rifle that I plan to get into PRS with. Tikka T3X CTR with the 24" barrel in 6.5C. Just placed my order for a KRG W3 and a Vortex Viper PST Gen II for it. Looking forward to getting it out there.
hellfire brake
i had a t3 in 300 winmag a few years back. kicked like a friggin mule, sold it. last year i got a t3x in 300wsm, with an area419 hellfire brake on it, and it's in a mesa precision altitude stock, it's a pussycat. got elk at 200 and 400yds last month. highly recommend. fed 180 tbt's are averaging 2961 out of the 24" barrel.
Awesome. I figured a muzzle brake is a necessity with the magnums. I would probably also upgrade to the mesa precision stock eventually too. They look slick. Now to figure out how to get some money out of a savage...
I have a t3x superlight in 7 mag. Really helps to put the new limbsaver airtech pads on it. Eliminated the need for a brake.
You bought an excellent starting place.
While you have the action out of the stock, back the trigger adjusting screw out to lighten the trigger pull and / or put a spring in it to lighten it further.
Or, put a two stage adjustable trigger trigger in it like a KRG Midas.
Stock up on AICS mags while you’re at it, the MDT’s were on sale for Black Friday and I jumped on some.
