Yep, you can get a bolt and a prefit barrel from LRI.
You mean this one?: https://www.snipershide.com/shootin...t-rail-for-a-tikka-t3x.6586550/#post-10647586
It was actually a different company I was referring to that didn’t have the extended front. That one looks even nicer. Might have to make a purchase. Thank you for bringing to my attention.
This is pretty standard with factory ammo for mine Hornady 140s.
I need to get out and shoot mine again (also in a Bravo). I know 147s were close to what you're getting and 140s were around .75.

Just checked to confirm with one of those targets. The squares are 1 inch and the dot is 1/2".
Yes. That's an early 20 inch T3x CTR. It's my hunting rifle. Still in the factory stock. I have a 24" sitting around too that I've never fired. Bought it when they first came out to build into something and haven't gotten around to playing with it yet. Will be finally ordering a scope for it soon. (I usually have too many projects floating around and too many hobbies. )
The photo got your attention - and you read the article...
Stick with aics. If using anything other than the factory stock.
The CTR magazines are fantastic. There are those who don't like them for some reason, but I think they are some of the best magazines available for a tikka. They work great in other non factory stocks also. Don't discount them. They are basically aw style mags made specifically for Tikkas. Double stacked so they are lower profile. They feed well. I can fit 10 6.5cm or 308 rounds in mine, or if I want to run them in my 6.5prc they hold 7. You would have to dedicate the mag to the cartridge if you have to adjust the feed lips like I did for my prc. They feed just like the factory stock when in a krg bravo chassis also.
I second this. I've been using aics style mags for competition since I'm running a chassis but if I were building a Tikka in a stock for hunting or a general purpose rifle, I'd WANT to use the CTR mags. They're awesome.
They can both feed great. To me it's a form factor. I prefer aw style mags and these fit that bill nicely

So far so good. Illumination isn’t daylight bright, but I feel like I can see the reticle ok on low power in daylight. FOV and glass is pretty good. I’ve taken it to 1000 yards with my PRS rifle and that tikka when it was a 300 win mag. It’ll get some work bear hunting this spring
Yes. 9/16-18 or just sent it to Thunderbeast for a face mount brake install(uses muzzle face for shoulder). 1/2-28 only on smaller than 6.5.
The factory stock ain’t bad. I was thinking if the same thing. For hunting, a Manners MCS-T isn’t bad, or the EH1 with elite fill. Or a KRG Bravo
the bravo is a bit heavy for hunting. also check out mesa
Some backcountry hunters / field match competitors have found fluting the bolt can lead to more stuff getting caught in the bolt and action, reducing the otherwise great smoothness and reliability ... there are a few threads that mention this over on Rokslide.
Factory options sometimes come threaded in M15x1. I've had a few cut down and threaded to M14x1.
