I'm honestly not sure if the swept ball handle will work with the folder or not, the length and angle the handle comes back might not fit through the hole in the cadex. Bit hard to change the ergonomics of the handle to suit the hole in the chassis - shortening the handle would make it harder to use. Could use a straight handle?
My new to me Tikka 260 AI.
The gun is practically boring it so accurate as long as I do my part as the shooterNice gun, those hawk hills are shooters! Mine is nearly telepathic.
I've ordered a Manners T4A with a CTR DBM inlet. I initially ordered a T2A, however, was told that the options with the CTR inlet are the T4A and T6A, any other stocks inlet for a tikka would require CDI bottom metal.CTR owners...anyone know why someone (Manners, McMillan, etc) hasn't done a blueprint-ish of the CTR stock?
I like what Tikka brought to us with the CTR stock, but I sure wouldn't mind having more options for stocks that accommodate the CTR DBM and CTR mags. There's bound to be some reason, yes?
I know I'd scoop up a Manners CTR copy cat with side flush cups in their elite tac carbon fiber.
Both McMillan and Manners have been producing and selling CTR DBM inlet ready stocks for at least a couple of years.CTR owners...anyone know why someone (Manners, McMillan, etc) hasn't done a blueprint-ish of the CTR stock?

I just put the KRG Bravo on my CTR. I'm pretty happy with the look and feel. Hopefully I like it as much after a day at the range.
Manners t6a is a brilliant option.I haven't replaced the CTR stock, mostly bc I like it and I find its a really nice stock for shooting and hunting.
That said - if someone made a similar type of stock (hybrid shooting/hunting/carry) that was also CTR DBM inlet, I'd pick it up, add side flush cups and be happy as can be.
I think most folks that replace the CTR stock are buying for the fantastic barreled action and accuracy that often comes with a much higher price tag. The CTR is a bargain for how well they normally shoot, along with the threaded muzzle if you plan to add a can.
There is no accuracy difference between the two. I have a 20”, my buddy has the 24”. If we are doing our part they are sub half to half moa rifles. The difference is the velocity. My loads, same charge, brass, bullet, primers as my buddy is 190fps slower. While i can still hit steel at 1200, I need more hold over on wind.
Looks like the .223 likes 77 grains from what I’m seeing.
500 rounds of 77g black hills should be on my door step today. Can’t wait to see how they do.
What model Tikka????THANKSShould work well for you. My stock Tikka t3 loves Sierra TMK 77gr bullet. I just picked a load with Vihtavuori 140 powder giving me 2712 fps average velocity and got these results. Guess I could get a better load, but this works for me nicely as I like shooting more than reloading.
Sorry about ratty targets but I'm retired and a penny saved is, you know
This group with H4895 but Average velocity 2677fps
These are 5 shot, 100yd groups, upper group new Lapua brass, no prep.
bottom group, sized twice LC brass, trimmed x1, no other prep, like I said, I like shooting more the reloading.
The manual has to be wrong, it says 7 Nm (62 in-lb) In my book that is too much^ Nice shooting!
I have a T3x SL 300 WM and a 24" CTR 6.5 on the way from Whittakers. Just wondering, is anyone torquing the action screws in the factory stocks to what the manual specs? I think it's 62-63 in lbs? I've been doing 45 in lbs instead, as 60+ seems like quite a bit for a synthetic stock.

As a rule of thumb I use 45 in/lb for not pillar bedded stocks and 55 in/lb for pillar bedded stocks.
See reply #12 below. I’m using 35 in-lb for my factory plastic stock.

If you really want to get the best accuracy from your rifle try different front and rear settings when your at the range.Thank you both for the info. I knew the manual specs seemed like way too much. I think I'll go with 35 in lbs the next time I have it apart.

I went from 60 in lbs on both and started dropping a few at a time till I hit my sweet spot at 45 front and 40 on the rear and my groups really tightened up.
Mine went from 1 inch at 100 to close to .5 and yes using the same factory ammo.Interesting. I might have to try that! So when you found your rifle's sweet spot, what did your groups shrink to? And the change in torque was the only variable for this change?
How many you guys have the new KRG Bravo chassis in your Tikka rifles?
I have ordered on in Sako green, kind of keen to wait it to arrive.

I have it and the only complain I have is the cheekriser, when rised you can't completely open the bolt all the way back. I had to filed it with a dremel in order to work.How many you guys have the new KRG Bravo chassis in your Tikka rifles?

I was an early adopter and wish I had waited for the Sako green. Other than that, I love the Bravo chassis. I can use the TRG bipod which is second only to the Elite Iron Revolution bipod IMO.
Do you have picture of your rig with TRG bipod on it?
I would love to see a picture of that.
I bought Atlas TRG bipod mount, because i got it so cheap.
Thinking to make it to my Bravo, so i dont need to buy that little bit expensive spigot mount for my chassis.
I might need to do some modification on the chassis, but it should fit there.
This is the mount.
