Thanks,Yes.
Finally got some decent data on my new match rifle. 22" 6.5 Creed, I was wanting to run Prime ammo only but was never satisfied with group sizes:
So decided to try Hornady Match 140 ELDMs before hand loading:
My T3 in AICS. 308.
Getting very good results with 178 gr. ELD-X
I have seen this several times that the Tikka’s either love or hate the Prime 130’s and can’t figure it out. How many rounds do you have through the barrel? I made the switch from Hornady 140 ELDMs to Prime 130’s around 1k and it has been a solid 0.5moa shooter.
Edit: I see it is a non-factory barrel as it is 22”, but still interested to know the round count on the barrel.
Ok, yeah mine's a short action.I'm out of country for a few more weeks so I haven't got to play with mine yet but Tikkas are all built on the same action length, just with a different bolt stop that places the ledge further forward or back in the raceway to limit bolt travel. Some other members mentioned that the SA T3 has the shortest bolt stop and would keep the bolt from hitting the cheekpiece. The CTR is supposed to have a longer stop and the LA an even longer one. I was asking to see if perhaps the SA non-CTR Tikka didn't have this issue since another member posted that in post #362 of this thread:

Alright fellas - in all seriousness - what are the flaws of the Tikka T3 CTR? I felt a Defiance Deviant a few weeks ago and honestly in feel it wasn’t light years ahead of the Tikka IF AT ALL. Thanks

Is that a factory barrel and if I may ask, what loads are you using? I just can't seem to break the trend of floating around 1 moa with Hornady 178gr HPBTs for my T3 CTR. I caved and bought some 175gr TMKs to change things up. Ran a quick (was cold out) OCW test today from 42.5 - 44.9gr of Varget in Lapua brass with 210M primers. Seems to show more promise but again, nothing to knock my socks off. Almost at the point of pushing the CTR to bush whacking duties and getting a new T3x CTR or Varmint to run in my ESS chassis.
Diamonds are about 1/2" x 1/2" shot at 100M/110yds. Feeling I might have to redo the test on a warmer day. Hard to see any solid trends.
Is it factory Varmint barrel 60cm?
3-shot groups?
Hello all, new to the Hide and new to Tikka. I just picked up a T3X CTR in .308 and I'm very glad to have found this resource. My plan is just to shoot the hell out of it first, but have been eyeing replacement stocks/chassis. Can anyone comment on the lock up of the folder on the McRees G10? Also, @260284 I am in the Wichita area as well and am interested on how your transaction with GGS went. I am cautious of purchasing from vendors outside of the US, but have only read good things about them so far.
I have just bought a Bravo and instantly found the cheek piece disappointing. I was unaware of the issues prior to buying it. I can live with having to remove it to take the bolt out, but at the height I need it, it fouls the bolt just as you've described. I could Dremel it out but reckon I shouldn't have to. A major design fault that should have never left the production line in my opinion. I also find the pistol grip a bit short and have my little finger hanging free.
The G10 lock up is solid and I like the design. No shimmy or shake. Only possible negative that quite a few folders share is that it does not lock or hold when folded. I don't mind that much but some do.Hello all, new to the Hide and new to Tikka. I just picked up a T3X CTR in .308 and I'm very glad to have found this resource.

Are you speculating there will be a group buy? Or know there will be one?
Hi, group buy started today. Should be able to find all the info in the new thread. It will run until the end of the day Monday 2-26. Thanks to all you guys for your support.

That is one really sweet group therapyFactory Varmint barrel, cut back to 20".
Yes, 3-shot groups.
Posted this in the shorty thread - though I'd add it here. Same Rifle in two different configurations. Tikka Varmint .308 chopped 17.5' - this thing is a laser with my plodding 155smk loads.

Anyone know the following information for a Tikka T3X CTR in 6.5CM? Contour # or Name and Shank Length? I assume it is Tikka's Varmint heavy contour. I am asking because I want to get in on the Manners group buy. What are most of yall going with for that on the stock who have had their Tikka barreled?

A quick question, will a T3 CTR action sit in Tikka T3/T3x KRG W-3 chassis?
Just considering a purchase and need to know if the chassis will work with T3 CTR.
Thanks in advance

sorry for necropost but what rifle is this? what cheek riser?..Finally got around to taking some decent pics. Figured I should contribute and keep us ahead of the RPR thread...
Thus far I've only done a few things to improve the performance of the factory configuration. No complaints while I save up for a chassis.
-Added the adjustable cheek riser
-Shaved some material out of the barrel channel so it it now fully free floating. (This actually did shrink my groups a bit)
-Mountain Tactical 20MOA rail
-Seekins High Rings (I thought these would be too high but they ended up perfect with the Vortex defender caps)
-SAS TOMB brake and Suppressor
-DMR2-i optic
-Im considering a Sterk (or similar) swept handle but I'd like to try one first. Im acually pretty happy with the factory bolt handle and knob.
It's much easier to find rings that mount to a pic rail, instead of dovetails. I personally feel it's more secure to mount to a rail. And like mentioned above, you get more elevation with a rail. But Sphur mounts can mount directly to the dovetail so that's a very good, but very expensive route to go as well.

It’s a 308 T3x CTR. The stock is factory. Cheek riser is from Matthews Fabrication. Works fine for now. Still saving for a chassis, but other guns keep getting in the way!sorry for necropost but what rifle is this? what cheek riser?..
I had to go check because I honestly didn’t remember. I can’t really compare it to the standard LS because i don’t own any. I can say it’s much more comfortable for all day shooting than the tikka factory buttpad.Nice job on the std CTR stock. Is the Buttpad a Limbsaver AirTech? If so how does it perform VS a Std LS?
