Just bought a tikka tac A1. Some questions.
1. How hard are barreles to replace. Ie does anyone currently make an action wrench. Or pre made barrels.
2. Anyone ever ran a sphur 40moa cant on this gun. I will be putting a nightforce Actacr. Want to make sure it will work
3. Cheapest place to buy mags
Anyone making an 20-30 MOA rail that actually works
I appreciate all information coming in.

Tevaan How does that rail
Match up to a tikka tac a 1
The mountain tactical gen 2's are $10 more for an anodized aluminum rail (same material as the anarchy).A while back, Anarchy outdoors sent me 2 of their scope rails for me to review. Its taken me awhile to get this review out but here it is.
Anarchy Outdoors has just recently began playing in the Tikka aftermarket world. Starting with the introduction of a swept handle, and now offering 2 scope rails. They offer both a 30 MOA/8.74 MIL or a 40 MOA/11.66. Made of 7075-T6 Aluminum, they are extremely rigid and don’t offer any flex. They come with the integral recoil lug so no need to worry about your scope shifting during recoil. Made to 1913 Picatinny specifications, I didn’t have any issues mountings a variety of scope ring brands, too include Warne, Vortex, Seekins, Leupold, and Steiner.
Finished in a Type lll Hardcoat anodizing, after repeated mounting and dismounting the were little too no visible chips in the finish. Looking over both rails, all the finish is evenly applied. No sharp edges were present, also no machining marks could be found.
Talking with Aaron with Anarchy, and a few fellow members from the Tikka forum on snipershide, a few concerns were brought up. First, a few members expressed how they could not get their scope to mount to rail securely. Aaron expressed that there were a few from the first batches that were produced under spec, and has been corrected with all future batches. Second, unable to zero the scope once it has been mounted to the rail. I didn’t have this problem with either of the rails sent to me for testing.
For this review, I used my Vortex Razor Gen1 mounted in Vortex/Seekins matched rings. The scope rail I used before testing was a Mountain Tactical Elite 20MOA extended rail. The Gen1 Razor has 125MOA of internal adjustment. With a 20MOA rail, I was able to use 78MOA of the 125 which with my current 140RDF load could get me out too 1690yds with only dialing. Once I mounted the 30MOA up and got it zeroed I could get an additional 9.5MOA of adjustment. Taking me from 78MOA, to 87.5MOA and out to 1780yds without dialing. With the 40MOA rail, I got an extra (and I was surprised by this), but I got the full extra 20MOA of adjustment. Taking me to 98MOA and 1870yds.

Overall, I’m very pleased with the both of these scope rails and highly recommend them. Fit and finish is great and the price, being at $50 for either the 30MOA & 40MOA they come in right at or below the prices of other rails. I will however, give a slight edge to the Mountain Tactical rail and they do offer the extended rail, 17 slots over the Anarchy’s 16 slots. However, it is a $90 difference for one extra picatinny slot.
Don’t hesitate to pick one of these up, and also check out what other products Anarchy Outdoors has to offer for Tikka rifles!
The mountain tactical gen 2's are $10 more for an anodized aluminum rail (same material as the anarchy).
The mountain tactical gen 3's are the $90 more but you are getting a 17-4 stainless steel rail (stronger material, more of a pain to work with).
Very nice ? I am debating on SS vs Blued CTR and I have the same chassis and like the looks of your set up ??View attachment 689788324”CTR in a KRG Bravo. So far I’m loving the chassis, I own a couple Whiskey 3’s and several X-rays but I am preferring the Bravo at this point.
Thanks man. I actually ordered a blued CTR and the SS showed up so I figured I would just cerakote it when it went in for re barrel but after getting it all together I kinda like it. I set this up for practice and a back up match rig but it has been hanging in there with rigs that I've got a ton more money into. You wont be dissapointed.Very nice ?

what kind of barrel life are you getting with the 243?
Currently running H1000 producing 3140fps/105gr Hybrid and no pressure whatsoever - not sure re barrel life but will be happy to stay sub moa to 2500rds. My previous barrel went south at 1900rds with H4350/115 dtacs.
1/8 twist Shilen 26'You have the factory 10" twist barrel? That's interesting, I assumed the 105's wouldn't stabilize.

I'll stop sidetracking this thread now but this is a good read re the .243: http://www.snipershide.com/shooting...er-who-is-using-this-caliber-for-prs.6506779/ in particular checkout @redneckbmxer24's info re - it's good stuff.Thanks for the info. I've been debating switching to a 6mm caliber and I like how available brass is and everything is for the 243Win.

Anyone aware of the availability of a single shot loading block for Tikka T3X A1 magazines? I shoot 300 and 600 yard bench, and would like a simple method to avoid using standard magazines....
Thanks,
George

Almost there, just waiting on the stock now. View attachment 6900070
The 4-16 ATACR is a perfectly matched optic for the CTR Not much that rig can't do and will only be made better by the Manners
This groups was 42.4 grains ( do your own load workup ) with 140 hornady bthp in 1x Hornady brass and cci200 primers.
Do you have access to Sauer rifles? They would be my go to for a lightweight hunting rifle, the 100 is well priced and is threaded for a can. I'm pretty sure it has some stupid thread though, like 17x1 or something random. They can supply their own cans and muzzle brakes anyway.NOOB question. I have a TAC A1 but it is not a practical hunting rifle. I want a Tikka in a 7mm rem mag, but none of them have enough barrel to thread. What would be the best parts rifle to buy to build off of? I know I would need a new barrel and would replace the stock, but I am at a loss of where to even start.

After days of reading in this thread, I gather all TIKKAS are long action of some sort, will I need to get one that is already “long action” or can any action be turned into a 7mag? Is the T3X any better than the T3?Just get a t3 in whatever variety you like, I've threaded a 300 win mag 9/16-24 and it worked just fine.
