If anyone has a bead on a 24” CTR .223 please send it my way. Just want a factory CTR.
EuroOptic has been out of them for like 6+ months and they haven’t popped up anywhere else that I’ve seen.

Anyone have any feedback on loading Berger 140 vld's in a T3x using aics mags with no restrictor plate?
Looking specifically for:
feedback on seating depth and fit into aics mags
feedback on accuracy
Currently using factory barrel but will go to a PVA prefit osprey in spring
Similarly if folks have feedback on Sierra 140 smk's and/or berger hybrid matches in 140 (currently unobtanium) I'd appreciate it

142 SMKs and 136 Scenar-L are about as consistent a bullet as you’ll find. Have had good luck with both in 8t 6.5s, factory barrels and otherwise.
New Magpul Daka grid system. Neat concept, but turrets keep the case lid from closing.

They should’ve made it so one could remove cushioning from specific areas under the gun (like under the opposite turret).
Or is the problem that the bottom cushioning, in general, is too high?
Pretty sure you could fairly easily cut out areas underneath if you wanted to. It's still foam. Just a more firm type.
Yeah bro, that's the first thing I did. There's a relief cut in the grid for the parallax side of the optic. Helped but the fit still sucks.
Yes the problem is the bottom foam insert they send with the grid is too thick. The grid system was clearly designed for ARs, not anything with a precision-style scope on it.
damn, sarcasm fail.
Nothing bad I guess, nothing good either. Lid is bowed out and you can barely use a couple of the latches.
Would never check this set up on a plane. Definitely unfortunate.

Yeah, I got ahold of KRG and they were very fast at responding to my questions. Basically, I just needed to make one small adjustment on a screw for mag well after removing the barreled action. It was genius and frustrating at the same time seeing how the chasis was designed. I've had much better luck cycling the action now.
Tikka t3x lite in 6.5cm
Guys I found 2 different stocks I’m interested in replacing the factory stock with. I’m trying to find out if either will fit.
First is a McMillan with specs below
Other is Manners Standard t3 bottom metal. Factory barrel. New stock. Includes recoil lug.
I’d prefer the Manners, but I want to know if it will fit. Would the barrel channel be correct? Guy said a standard contour channel
Help me out guys! Thanks in advance

They will fit fine but the barrel channels on those stocks are generally going to be cut for CTR/Varmint/light Palma type contours at a minimum.
Not to say that you couldn’t put a lite barreled action in one, you’re just going to have a gap between barrel and forend.
Or, just use it as an excuse to get a new barrel at the same time.

Just got my 20” 308 Tikka UPR from the FFL today.
I can tell you right now this UPR stock is a winner. Definitely lighter than a Bravo and more ergonomic IMO. Excellent, grainy texture as well.

Weighed my new scoped Tikka UPR vs my scoped Tikka CTR in a Bravo chassis.
The Tikka UPR is 9.3 lbs and the CTR in a Bravo chassis is right at 11 lbs. Both rifles are 20” barrels.

What scope and rings are you running on the UPR? Does that include the magazine?
Zeiss Conquest V6 3-18x50 and Leupold Backcountry rings.
Weight includes empty magazine.
Do you have a picatinny on it? If so, what height rings did you use? I have the same scope and trying to figure what height rings I'm going to need. I have a Murphy Prec. picatinny top rail on order
Thanks
Tikka T3X .223 in TRG chassis with TRG trigger and Pard DS35 nightvision scope mounted in Spuhr TCP3001. Should be a bit of fun.
The UPR is a shooter! The stock is a winner and is very stiff.
Nice @General RE LEE 
My 20" Super Varmint .308 just came in this afternoon and I'm impatiently waiting for the background check to clear. It's been a 1.5+ year want and wait on this rifle.

Thank you. That's good to know - it's part of what makes the Bravo so excellent.
If you have an mdt hnt26 chassis how are you liking it? Is the folder the way to go and is the carbon arca holding up okay?
The aluminum backbone isn’t really needed with a properly designed stock.
The Bravo is more of a multi-piece chassis with plastic cladding and rear end.
So what do I get with the UPR that the factory stock doesn’t provide? I’m not a shooting guru, but I don’t see $999 in value here.
Beuhler? Beuhler?

The UPR is a factory stock. Just a different factory stock. I see a couple of hundred euro difference between new UPR rifle and new CTR rifle with adjustable stock. Some will like the UPR stock ergos better than the regular Tikka stocks.
The UPR is made from two sandwich composite shells (left/right) which are glued together. Overall a stiff and light stock however the two halves are not always glued together straight meaning the reoil lug might be somewhat crooked. Some say the design features were copied from PSE E-Tac stock that was on the market since 2011.

Adjustable comb, more vertical grip, stiffer/lighter/stronger construction, CTR mags. In reality, it’s only $2-300 more than the adjustable CTR.

The recoil lug on mine is straight and barrel is centered in stock.
Fully free floated to the lug and factory 20 MOA rail.

I picked one up used with the folder and the ARCA forend. I used it with my T3x Roughtech in 6.5 PRC for deer and now have a T3 with a 18" 6 creed barrel in it for coyote hunting. I have used the ARCA with 3 different ball/leveling heads and I leave it attached to the tripod from the time I leave the truck to the time I get back while hunting at night. I point the rifle straight up and throw the tripod up on my shoulder. Tempted to buy another so I don't have to swap rifles back and forth.

Range day #2 Tikka UPR 308. She likes 168 grain Berger Classic Hunters 43.5 grains Varget 2600 FPS.
KRG was supposed to send me some extra screws and they also sent me another Bravo. I called them and told them I’ll pay for it so now I have 2 Sako green Bravos.
Yep, I saw one in person and didn't like it for that reason.
Being Tikka-made, I'm sure it will be better than most (the Bergara looked worse). But, previously working in lamination manufacturing really brought home that all glued or laminated things can become unglued.
One piece construction if you can, bolted next, then screwed, and glued as the last option.
Or gaffer tape. But then we all know gaffer tape is like The Force: it has a light side, and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
