for $ 10 ( I bought an Anarchy Outdoors Spring ) it's a good upgrade if you can't get the trigger light enough with the OEM spring.
Tough to argue the "Bang for the Buck" factor there, especially if you're ordering other stuff from there.
I like two stage triggers, and have them in most of my other rifles, if it's a reasonable option.
Are these rifles known for having short chambers? I have some 308 loaded up from other guns that works. It's 168gn Nosler CC's at 2.800 and they won't chamber in my new Tikka T3X Roughtech. I can see marks on the bullet where it's hitting what I'm guessing is the lands.
That sounds good to me because I thought factory ammo was around 2.8? I really can't believe it doesn't fit in mine.Not generally. My 308 TAC can load 208 ELD-M out to 75.5mm (2.97") and still be off the lands. Which is a lot of free bore. Not sure if they have used less freebore/lead on the newer versions.
Dang those are some nice looking rifles.
I know you use Ase Utra suppressors, have you used the Borelock versions of just the direct thread?
Can't find many reviews on the Ase muzzle break/BL suppressor combo.

I'm new to Tikka and one of the complaints I always saw was the barrel twists being too slow. Is Tikka coming out with faster twist barrels for 2021?
I ain't him, but I've been using a AU SL5i on my 260 TRG and 308 A2 Target. Both have the Borelock muzzle brake which is adequate but not so great for heavier recoiling rifles, in my opinion. The can itself has been great since I wanted a short suppressor that I could use on multiple rifles and it tones the blast down to a safe level.

Thank you
I had once SL5i borelock suppressor, but i did not liked that when you mounted the suppressor on, the POI did change quite a lot.
If you can handle that, it would be no problem, but i did not liked.
Here is BL SL5i suppressor.
And the BL brake.![]()

Looks like many European manufacturers have not gone for the fast twist thing. Apparently, they feel that the old normal twist works.I'm new to Tikka and one of the complaints I always saw was the barrel twists being too slow. Is Tikka coming out with faster twist barrels for 2021?
Does it suppress the 6.5mm just as well as 30cal, or do you notice the 260 having less noise reduction?
Does the muzzle break tame down the 260 very much?

I see that a custom gunsmith in my area is offering 1/12" as standard for .308 Winchester.

Have you test POI change with your standard Ase cans?
I have a SL5i that I like a lot but use that rifle suppressed 100% of the time, considering the BL suppressor for use at the home range (upset neighbours less) and probably run unsuppressed at matches (24" barrel + 5" or 7"(SL7) doesn't sound cool to me).
If POI is drastically different then maybe it's not going to work
Nice!Did a Antelope hunt in Wyoming . Decided to use the CTR ,6.5 CM . Hand loaded 130 VLD Berger’s . View attachment 7524929View attachment 7524931View attachment 7524932
The 308 TAC is 1/11 twist, not sure about other models but that is fast enough to stabilise 208grn bullets. I've only shot them to 600yds. So my next plan is to load some to 1250fps with faster powders & see how they manage 900-1000yd trans sonic velocities on a 100-200yd range !

Will a set of low (.82) seekins rings have proper clearance with a 44mm objective on a CTR rifle? I ordered a vx-5hd scope and want to go ahead and order some seekins rings, just not sure the which height.
Make sure that the safety is working properly once you do change the sping, do not go too low on pull weight.Got my yo Dave spring in the mail yesterday. I think I ordered it on the 2nd or the 3rd so it was about 10 days from Canada to dirt bag new jersey. That's pretty fast so now I don't mind the shipping cost. Gona install it today hopefully.
Thanks for the tip bud. Need all the help I can get in a total noob to this kind of shooting.Make sure that the safety is working properly once you do change the sping, do not go too low on pull weight.
AND do tighten the trigger back to the action tight, that it wont come loose.
Check out this video, it might help you a lotThanks for the tip bud. Need all the help I can get in a total noob to this kind of shooting.
Is that a Carbon Six barrel? What caliber? Nice looking rifle.Latest, former 243 lite. Just need to mount the scope and muffler. Very impressed again with mcmillan.

I'd look at the PX section to see where people are selling stocks/bottom metal...where can I find factory t3/x bottom metal for a reasonable price?
He didn’t go far . 10 yards .Nice!
I bet the 130gr dropped it nice and fast.
I use the 129gr SST, seems my 6.5 Creedmoor likes the lighter rounds.
Thank You . Chased him for 3 days . Before I connected .Nice Speed Goat
Agreed, and if they stabilise at that velocity they will be fine at decayed velocity & faster spin. Its all mute at the moment as all ranges are closed here in UK due to lock down rulesyou’ll be spinning the bullets a lot slower at 1250fps launch then what the bullet will actually be doing at 1000 yards. Waste of time.

What barrel wrench and vise did you use?View attachment 7527662
Took off a tikka t3x lite barrel today it wasn't too bad
Very nice rifle sir, very nice.26” 7.5 twist Bartlein 28” long
Long magazine with long bolt stop
6.5 MAX I chambered

Any slippage? I keep hearing people saying that the VIPER barrel vise will slip too much and is only good once the factory barrel had already been taken off.We used the viper barrel vise and a wheeler action wrench #1 you just have to turn the curve side up so the wrench has too flats contacting the action
No slipping I used blue painters tape and I put witnesses marks on the barrel with a pencil just to make sure she wasn't movingAny slippage? I keep hearing people saying that the VIPER barrel vise will slip too much and is only good once the factory barrel had already been taken off.
One of the problems with slippage in the barrel vise (no matter which brand) is clamping the external action wrench too tight.Any slippage? I keep hearing people saying that the VIPER barrel vise will slip too much and is only good once the factory barrel had already been taken off.
Exactly rightOne of the problems with slippage in the barrel vise no matter which brand is clamping the external action wrench too tight.
All your doing is compressing the action/barrel threads into each other and creating more friction.
Tighten it enough to keep the action from moving in the jaws is all that is needed
I found that to be true also. Very little tightening of the action wrench bolts cause greater resistance. After I got the barrel off I experimented using the notched part instead of turning the top jaw upside down. It did seem to be able to tighten the wrench bolts more with the bottom flat jaw against the top of the receiver and the notched part on the bottom of the receiver.One of the problems with slippage in the barrel vise (no matter which brand) is clamping the external action wrench too tight.

also, I used sections of toilet paper core cardboard around the barrel, torqued the Viper vise bolts to 60 ft-lb and there was no slippage when using a 4' iron pipe.One of the problems with slippage in the barrel vise (no matter which brand) is clamping the external action wrench too tight.
