Hey - so I wasn't trying to talk shit or comment on your wait time or anything, I actually have nothing at all to say there. Clearly your stuff is in high demand. I really just didn't get how everyone was ordering these since you were AUS based, and what the situation was on availability in general. No thang, I'll send an email.
Buy with confidence. He makes things in batches so your timing in ordering will dictate when you get your product delivered.
Buy it straight from the Sterk.
My Sterk bolt handle came today, looks even better in real life and feels amazing. Can cycle the bolt so much faster and more controlled than with the oversized knob with straight arm I had on it. And it fits perfectly with the MDT folding stock unlike the previous one.
Thank you John, great product!
Will post some more pics when my rifle is finished, just waiting for the MDT pistol grip to make it complete.

If you want best rubberized pistol grip, go for the Ergo tactical deluxe, that is the king of pistol grips.
And when you have that great MDT chassis with the thumb shelf, you will love that Deluxe grip fatty groove grip.
We have just released our short action tikka DBM. It is a drop-in replacement for factory stocks and aftermarket stocks with factory inlet. It uses Accuracy International AE MKI 308 magazines, which are a single stack 5 round mag that allows an OAL of 2.95”
@RedRooster Very Nice!
Any chance that these take a side by side stacking 5 round mag? Loving the look of your new bottom metal, just wishing there was a shorter mag system that worked - something between the one you posted and the factory mag.

These only take the AI AE MKi 308 Magazine. The regular SA AICS mags are shorter but too wide for factory stocks/inlets. There are a lot of good options for bottom metal for those mags as well as the new Manners mini chassis.
We were wanting to make this DBM to give guys running OEM stocks a better option than the crappy plastics trigger guard and mag. It’ll also fit aftermarket stocks inletted for factory T3/T3x Trigger guards.
Doing my research and think I figured out what I eventually want to do. Wife wants to know what the end product is going to be, so why not show a picture?
Does anyone have a setup visually similar to this list? Colors dont matter as much but if you have it so much the better.
-Stainless action in the white
-Ctr profile or similar stainless barrel in the white (or almost anything other than t3x lite profile barrel)
-Krg whiskey chassis in green
-Razor gen 2 5-25
-20 moa rail
-Atlas bipod
-Tbac 7 or 9 (ok if you dont have or show a different can).
Mine will eventually be in 6.5 creed and lefty.

Thanks for the tip, but I actually do not want the Ergo grip because of the finger grooves. My hands are not made for forced finger placement, and the new MDT rubberized grip is the only one on the market (that I know of) that has a palm swell but not finger grooves so I have been waiting for that one for months.
If that is what you like, that you must buy.
For me that Ergo grip is a dream grip, very nice rubbery grip that fits my big hand.
This MDT grip i have not tested yet, it might be a very good grip, and the price is not bad too.

What i would like to test, it that MPA vertical grip.
That is the most straight grip there is, and i has extended thumb shelf.
There you have it, I have long slender fingers instead. Haven't tested it either, just saw it at a SHOT show video and knew that was the one for me.If that is what you like, that you must buy.

But damn, that MPA grip looks very nice. Didn't know about that one. I need to research it and find out if anyone will ship it overseas (greetings from Norway).
The MDT was supposed to be more vertical than other AR15 grips, and that was one of the things that made me decide to order it.
One from this week, Hardy 26" Carbon barrel 7rem mag, E-Lite carbon stock. 3.4kg without scope/bipod.

Last week, my little 223 1/8 ten shot MDT, E-Lite, with test 1.5-8x24 PMII makes a great bush rifle.

Another visit in the 100-m range, see that the load i did is working like i want.
This weekend, if the antibiots start to work, i go to the 300-m and start PRS style shooting practise.
I have done 3 different barrier to the range.
You can see the awesome Sterk bolt handle, and MK Machining throw lever i just received, and quite wicked parallax wheel, a lot easier to fine tune parallax with that dics.
How many use APA little bastard brake?
I have a dream to get one of those, but they do not export these out side the US.

If you have not tested Cole-Tac gears, you should.
Medium priced, but still very high quality and made with Cordura 1000D nylon.

Seems like Cole-Tac pages is collecting nice thumps up for one of my pictures 
Do you see how nicely that Sterk swept bolt handle is there

Finally got my Tikka out, broke in the barrel and 1st ladder test, not bad. 0.030 off the lands. Very pleased so far, except for the mag feeding problems.
Looks like my accuracy node will be close to the same as my MPA.

Any chance you'd have a drop - in bottom metal for factory inlets in .223 Remington?
https://mdttac.com/products/mdt-polymer-magazines?variant=42963894726
The MDT magazines seem to be the only reasonable option at the moment.
Finally made it to the range to test out a new 140ELDM load I made up and to try out the Gen2 Razor. Gotta say it's a great combo! I can't believe the glass clarity between the Gen1 and Gen2. Also got to try out a random 77GR Sierra TMK I had worked up for my AR in my 223 Varmint and it worked out glorious. I tried the 80GR & 88GR ELDM and my rifle did not like them, but I'm going to revisit them with a proper load work up before I ditch them and just go with the 77GR Sierra TMK. Also had some 140GR Berger Hybrids I had left over from an old rifle I sold, and they too performed really well. I gave up on Berger's though since they are so expensive and didn't give me any better groups then the ELDM. All groups were shot at 100yds, 0-5mph right to left wind. Huge shout out to @cannoncrossfire with Sterk, his handle and shroud as always make the Tikka rifles look awesome, and the added performance is always appreciated! The Anarchy Outdoors aluminum shroud they sent me for testing is holding up well on my 223, I will be putting out a full review on it once I do my other load tests. Can't wait to go to my matches this coming weekend and next.
Ignore the 2 rounds above it, they were sighter/rough zero shots.

Thats a very hot load of 4451 with the 140gr ELD-M. What velocity are you getting with it? Did you note any pressure signs?
Thanks, mag unlocks, doesn't pick up a round, or round doesn't feed properly.
Bend the top of the mag catch hole out with a flat screw driver fixes the mag unlocking.
I bent the mag spring for the other issues, the issue did appear to go away, not convinced bending the spring did anything, as when I removed the spring after bending it, it appears to go back. May have been just the mag catch hole adjustment, need more rounds to determine if the issue is corrected.

@tevan0707 nice shooting and nice rifle, FDE Handle and shroud are looking good, glad to hear function is just as good.
Nice shooting!
What size rings are you running with the m10’s? Also, what happened to the J. Allen chassis?
I'm running the mediums. As for the J Allen, they claim it will be shipping this week or next, so I guess we will see. I've been waiting since May so what's another 2 weeks.
Got the CTR 6.5 in a Bravo out to shoot this weekend. Also go to try out the new Athlon ETR.
Seems to really like the ELDx 143s.
Shoots the American Gunner well too.

Small upgrade but the best one to date. That handle is bloody awesome. Glad I've got a second on order because now I need another tikka to go with it. Just waiting on a barrel now.
Got my first Tikka in the other day! 24" SS CTR
Threw on a XTRII, Harris bipod (with the hawk hill feet), tikka performance 20 Moa rail, and area419 hellfire brake.
Cant wait to shoot it!

be sure to measure a standard so it will show your group size, Awesome shooting
Thanks. I was measuring the 1” dots. Not sure why SubMOA was showing group size for some and not for others.
finally got around to working up a load for my 20" ctr.
42.5 gr H4350
140 eld-m
cci primer
hornady brass
2.883 COAL
need to get a recent pic but it's still in the factory stock with a xtr2 4-20 and NF ultralite rings
thinking about picking up a bravo/enclosed forend or a manners for it in the future
Should've just stuck to 3 round group lol

Participated in a local match over the weekend. Managed 7th out of 36 shooters and 2nd in the Intermediate class. Rifle did great, it was windy with fine moon dust filling the action and it never gave me any issues. I have another match this weekend, hopefully my good luck will follow me to that one as well.
I know every barrel is different. BUT, my question is, is there a standard load that works in the Tikka 6.5 CM? I ask because there are duplicate handloads for the FGMM 168 175 Sierras, and my .308 loves them. Curious if there is a load that works in most 6.5 CM`s?
The best loads for the 6.5 CM are listed here
http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/6-5-creedmoor.89643/page-19#post-7229846
Does anyone know if the ctr diameter barrel and proof sensor light are the same? Looking to buy a stock
Would be better off hitting up the maker of the stock to confirm. If its Manners, they are quick!!
