I just picked up a T3 Lite a few weeks ago. I ordered a bolt replacement and a limb saver pad and a 20 moa base. It's going to be a nice light carry rifle for the hills. I just put a SWFA 6x mil quad scope on it for now. For those of you that have threaded the barrels, did you chop the barrels back? If so, what length?
Thanks
Nice setup, I would like to get the same scope. What is the height of your rings?
I've got a CTR ordered and was wondering if anyone had issues with a stock pack and the cheek piece that comes on he CTR stocks? I've go several Eagle and Triad packs that I like to use and didn't know how they would work with the riser on the Tikka. Can they be removed or are they molded in like that?
Hey Wes 1, what's the stock on the left and did it come pre-inletted for the CTR?
looks like a McMillan M40?
Pretty much exactly what I'm looking for!

Does anyone have experience with the German Gun Stocks designed for the T3X CTR? I like that it appears to use the CTR bottom metal, since I already have spare CTR mags, it doesn't need bedding, and it is relatively lightweight:

Anyone try the MDT mags with the Tikka in a chassis? The modified magpul mags are no good, the shaving of the material weakens the lips such that if you barely bump the mag a few rounds will squirt out due to the spring pressure.Otherwise time to sack up for the metal mags
Nice looking rifle!
I have an MPA Lite coming next week for my Tikka .223 Varmint and will also be using MDT mags. I am interested in hearing about what you had to do to get them to work.
With the X-Ray chassis the mag well is formed by forend on the front and sides and the trigger guard on the rear. Both pieces adjust slightly, front-and-back, to move the mag well forward or backward and to fine-tune the size. It took a fair bit of fussing with those adjustments, the trigger guard in particular, to get the magazine into optimal alignment with the Tikka action. In my case the issue was compounded by the fact that I did not know about the trigger guard being adjustable until Justin (KRG) was kind enough to post a response to one of my posts in the Tikka thread on the other site.
Good to know the MDT mags work with the T3 action and this bottom metal.Might be of interest to some that Atlasworx have a new AI type dbm with a CTR footprint. We needed a floor plate that would take AICS type mags 223-308 and that would fit into our new stock which is made for the CTR mag system. Colin at Atlasworx was very forthcoming and we went through details. Great for those who have plenty AICS magazines already like myself.

Just curious if you're still using the MDT 223 mags or if you have switched to Accurate Mag. I ask because I'm considering dropping my T3X 223 Varmint into the X-Ray Chassis.

Jason at tikkapreformence has one coming out within a few weeks that is high quality then a atlasworx.
Atlasworx makes good stuff. Curious if you checked out the CTR 5 round mag? They are listed on Brownells site but there are no specs as far as weight and size compared to the standard 10 round mag.Maybe, but I have been fitting all sorts of aftermarket AI type mag systems since ten years and many Atlasworx in the last five years on a daily basis and have yet to see one fail. Also important is to put them on scales, I would choose the lighter one. A lighter version that doesn't break is better than a heavier one that doesn't break. Price is also a factor as well as availability. We outside of the US have great difficulties getting US made products. From the rest of the world is much easier.
I recently weighed a few bits that can go on T3's if it interests someone. [IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"http:\/\/i183.photobucket.com\/albums\/x264\/ejg223\/pse\/mag%20system%20weights%20t3_zpscsjssbfu.jpg"}[/IMG2]

I originally built that rifle as a dual purpose trainer/varmint buster. I found I was spending allot more time with it dispatching groundhogs than I was "training". In the mean time I also picked up a .243 Tikka so I ended up switching out the chassis on my .223 for a McM A3 inlet for the factory bottom metal and moving the X-Ray over to the .243, using AICS mags. If I'd have kept the .223 in the X-Ray I would've given the Accurate mags a try. I'd gotten the X-Ray adjusted to the point where the MDT mags performed acceptably but still not quite as well as I'd hoped and not as well as the factory mags and bottom metal combo.
Thanks for the response. How's the McM A3 working out for you? Notice any difference in accuracy compared to the X-Ray chassis?
