That looks like Dead Zero Shooting Park. They use the Shot Marker system.What target camera setup is that ?

Anyone else have poorly machined areas like this on their new T3x?
Seems like it should have no mechanical effect on stock fitment but not thrilled to see it on a Tikka.

Anyone here have barrel contour recommendations for a tikka in a whiskey 3 non folder? I want it to balance on a schmedium in front of the mag well.
I’m not adversed to adding rear weight, but building this for mammoth so I don’t want to go too heavy
16-18 lb with bipod seems to be pretty appropriateDo you have a total weight for the rifle with an optic and barrel length in mind ?
Is that a magnum bolt face?Ain’t this some shit? Purchased a brand new Super Varmint 223 through Bud’s. Super stoked to get it. Get to my FFL and this is what I find:
Bunch of freaking mouth breathers.

That's what it looks like. Maybe gun identifies as a .223WSSMIs that a magnum bolt face?
Sure is.Is that a magnum bolt face?
Yes they are serialized, but it doesn’t match. I fully expect them to replace the gun with a matching bolt/receiver unless they have the missing 223 on hand.Are the fluted bolts serialized? If so, matches receiver?
That's a Major OOOOPssss....
Yes they are serialized, but it doesn’t match. ....
My thought as well. Barrel and receiver match, so I’m thinking someone got tired of looking for a 223 bolt and swapped it out.That's a Major OOOOPssss.
EU rules require serials on receiver, bolt and barrel. I'm sure numbers were checked before it got the official Finnish stamp. So, most likely it was right when shipped out of Finland.
I probably would’ve blown my face off on that one. Wouldn’t even think to check, and not sure I would’ve noticed if I did. I’m not a magnum shooting guy.Sure is.
Yes they are serialized, but it doesn’t match. I fully expect them to replace the gun with a matching bolt/receiver unless they have the missing 223 on hand.
I’m going to be pretty torqued if they’re just like “oops sorry about that.” Shit is a massive liability that I fortunately found before putting my face or someone else’s in danger.

Put together what I think seemed to be the best bang for buck for a precision rifle, Tikka CTR 6.5CM (20" Bbl) with KRG Bravo.. and I must say she's a shooter! Here's a few examples of what I was able to do with it, photos below. Also, I shot her on steel at 300 yards and the precision there is amazing too. I only shoot factory ammo, the rifle shot 130 Berger OTM's the best. Does anybody have velocity info on 130 Gr. Berger OTM's out of a 20" Tikka, specifically with factory ammo from Federal and Berger box ammo?View attachment 8065195

Perfect! Is that the heavy bag rider or polymerView attachment 8065715
weight was around 17ish lbs. heavy arca rail, no additional weights, 1" bull barrel (barrel nut).
heavyPerfect! Is that the heavy bag rider or polymer
Nice, Sounds like I can go as heavy as I want on contour and it won’t be an issue for what I need.heavy
Rebarrelled with 2 new custom barrels.
.260rem, i love this caliber.

I put my .243 in a McM Edge, Sako Hunter pattern. It has a closed grip, palm swell, higher comb and cheek piece. It fits me like a glove and is very comfortable to get behind. The forend is trim compared to the factory stock, but there’s plenty of meat for a hog saddle to grab right in front of the mag well.I just ordered a t3x lite for hunting and am looking for a Manners or McMillan stock for it. Which one would you guys recommend that wouldn’t be too heavy?
Just received my Super Varmint 223 from Buds and the bolt is correct with matching serial numbers. Keep us posted on your findings, I hate that for you.Ain’t this some shit? Purchased a brand new Super Varmint 223 through Bud’s. Super stoked to get it. Get to my FFL and this is what I find:

Sportsmatch T084. I like them. They also use a recoil pin that engages the slot on top of the action.What rings are holding that Nightforce on?
Direct clamp to the dovetail.
Nice 8 point ! I don't see a bullet wound, did you use the Tikka as a club and bludgeon him with it ?I put my .243 in a McM Edge, Sako Hunter pattern.

Nice. How did you fit the T3X into the TRG stock?View attachment 8059324
Tikka T3X .223 in TRG chassis with TRG trigger and Pard DS35 nightvision scope mounted in Spuhr TCP3001. Should be a bit of fun.
I noticed a T3X in TRG stock on a local-to-me sales site, before. Today, I was at a gun shop and the guy there said that he did it. I think he got a feeling that I was looking for something unusual. He also showed me a Valmet Sniper rifle.Nice. How did you fit the T3X into the TRG stock?
Lol. I'm trapped in NJ till retirement in a few years so please excuse my stubbyness. Florida bound ...You really gonna post that without a suppressor?
upgrade secured, huge thumb up for Mountain TacticalWell, time to upgrade the bolt shroud
psyched to see more ppl using these chassis!- Fluted 18" Bartlein Mod400bb.

I used a KRG back bone from the Whiskey 3 chassis in let for the tikka T3. The TRG stoc and forend fit straight on as did the TRG trigger.Nice. How did you fit the T3X into the TRG stock?
I remember a long time ago Justin mentioning that the backbone would fit. KRG’s gear has been influenced by the TRG since the beginning. I’m going to try it with a Bravo backbone, guess it should work the same way. Did you need to use the action screws with the little metal bar from the TRG to attach the buttstock?I used a KRG back bone from the Whiskey 3 chassis in let for the tikka T3.

Yes, the buttstock fits exactly as it does on the TRG. The only thing missing is the magazine tension block inside the magwell. There is a little slop on the sides of the magwell because the AICS magazines are thinner. I suppose if you had a CTR backbone you can run TRG magazines. The CTR magazines won’t work because of the plastic rim. I’ve never had a feeding issue. Even when I ran it as a .308 several years ago.I remember a long time ago Justin mentioning that the backbone would fit. KRG’s gear has been influenced by the TRG since the beginning.
