Redsnake Tactical makes some good versions, especially if you can snag some TRG42 mags. I think CDI or lumley does as well. If you can’t get the TRG42 mags and still want to run a lower profile mag, accurate mag is now making 3 round long action magazines that are about an inch shorter than the 5 rounders

Good morning, I need some scope mount options for a Tikka t3 tac a1 with a 34 mm tube and a 56 mm objective.
Thanks
Thanks
Spuhr ISMS 34mm 6MIL/20MOA (SP-4602) mounting a Vortex Razor HD Gen II 4.5-27x56 EBR-2C MOA (42705) scope. With the 4" sunshade, the Vortex Defender Ocular (E-10) and Objective 56mm Flip Caps just clear the handguard rail. Without covers, more than enough clearance.

Post up in the for sale section that you wanna buy one. You may be better off just buying the cheapest T3x you can find and replacing barrel and stock (sell those to recoup funds).
If not just bite it and get a CTR.

Welcome. Last Tikka I bought was a barreled action right here off the Hide. Pry your best bet if going for just a BA.

Is is possible to adjust the angle of the trigger shoe? That older TRG style angle never really worked for me. If not maybe offer another shoe that makes it straight and the buyer can select what they want.
Can the bolt be manipulated with the trigger on "safe" like the Timney can?
Also, are you selling the trigger guards for the low safety version seperately, or will those not be available until the low safety trigger comes out? It seems I ordered my Bravo about 6 months too early to use my current trigger guard.
My CTR project is pretty much done, the thing is an absolute dream to shoot.

Thanks. Yes. Here is a pic of our LA TRG DBM in a Manners EH1-A
And our LA AICS in a McMillan A3
What’s the OD of the shoulder where the muzzle device would mate up behind the threads ?
I have an Area 419 gunsmith fit brake and my rifle isn’t here yet. I’m trying to CAD up the brake and get the angles correct.

Which barrel? I guess you are assuming ctr but 20" or 24"? It probably matters.
My 24" shows .783 on my cheapo caliper, others with higher grade stuff might show different....
Tikka barrels generally are pretty slow but there is definitely no arguing about the accuracy!
The bolt cannot be moved with the safety on. Our trigger has a firing pin block like the regular TRG/T3 triggers and the bolt won't move with that block in place.
We will indeed be selling the new style trigger guards separately, it will be a bit though. We have a new polymer T3 guard and we might be offering the aluminum ones too.
Blindspotter I'm not sure which angle you mean but on our trigger the shoe only moves fore and aft. I's pretty comfortable though, you might find you like it.
Thank you,

Since purchasing my T3x lite in .308 I have used it hunting and a few range sessions. The bolt not being able to open on safe kind of bothers me. Wish a 3 position safety was more common.
The rifle is awesome in every other way, I just prefer being able to lift my bolt to eject a loaded shell while the safety is still engaged.
I will be watching for a place to purchase(in canada) the KRG 2stage trigger for the heck of it, as I really want to give a 2 stage trigger a shot. The trigger spring having been changed on the factory trigger has me happy, especially compared to the timey Calvin elite on my rem700.

If you really have to have that 3 position safety:

or
http://buema-hochwang.de/Tikka-T3-Schlagbolzensicherung-rechts (you'll need a translator for that site unless you speak German, but you get the picture).
Speaking of safeties, I've always wondered if that middle position on the Tikka's safeties that you can only select with the bolt open was an intended design feature, or just a happy accident due to the safety design. Does anyone know?

The one person I saw that bought and posted about that safety was on another forum. Not sure what the policy is here about linking to other forums, but if you Google "Tikka safety conversion" that should get you to the thread with more details.
The safety from the Tikka Tac A1 has a position where you depress the safety (while it is ‘On’) and it permits you to manipulate the bolt.
Not sure if it’s available separately anywhere. But it works well and is a nice improvement.

That's what I thought from looking at the pictures; really it will be no different than my current trigger in that regard. I got the email that it shipped today so I'll be eagerly awaiting its arrival.
The low safety one seems pretty cool, but we gotta wait for those anyway.
Not sure what "middle position" you guys are talking about, my 2007 manufacture varmint model doesn't seem to have one
I should have explained that better, as it's not a true middle position. But with the bolt open, if you move the safety back towards safe, it will come to a stop midway between fire and safe. This "middle position" (not sure what else to call it) lets you chamber a round with it on safe, and once the bolt's closed, you can move the safety all the way back to the actual safe position. At least that's the way it is on my T3x Lite and CTR.
*facepalm* duh. Forgot about that. I've seen all of those pics. Guess I didn't notice the safety.
That's not a design feature if you continue to operate the bolt it will after a couple of cycling's push the safety forward and allow the gun to fire. That's one thing I never liked about the Tikka triggers is not being able to eject a round unless you put the safety in the fire position.
That's another reason I switched both my guns to Timneys

I'm a bit baffled, why opening or closing the bolt with safety off scares people. I cannot move the slide on a 1911 pistol with safety on.
On rifles with blind magazines you have to cycle the bolt and run each cartridge thru the chamber to unload the weapon. Think pump shotgun as well, they have a trigger safety.
Detachable magazines remove a lot of that motion and chance of a negligent discharge.

It's not that I am scared. I am used to my remingtons where the safety does not have go be in the fire position to open the bolt.
I am mindful of where the muzzle is pointed when I switch the safety to unload my rifle. That is done even with the remington. It is just nice to have that slight less chance of there being an accidental discharge.
I got a conjugal visit ( I owe a $ balance - so it's "In Jail" right now ) with my "Christmas Present" new CTR yesterday at lunch time.
I test fit mu Area419 Hellfire gunsmith fit muzzle brake and its 180° off out of the box. I'll take some material off the back end in the lathe and get it clocked properly after Christmas.
That is a Smmmmoooottthh action and almost impossible to bind at the rear of the bolt travel, even with no lubricant on any of the moving surfaces. It's really going to be hard to buy any other brand bolt action rifles now.
I was going to get my 9 YO daughter a Savage 12 FV in .223 for Christmas, but I'm seriously re-thinking making that purchase now. A T3X Compact may be a better choice in the long run.

I tried the ASH safety and have a quite a bit of dealings with the company. The 3 pos safety is fantastic if fitted correctly. If you look at the little video over and over you will understand. Basically the safety works similar to Mauser or similar designs meaning when moving the safety lever from the fire position to the first safe (bolt moveable) position the firing pin must move backwards slightly. In other words the safety lever must take the firing pin back a little, this little movement takes the contact away from the trigger. If the trigger is pulled and released it will travel back to the position it came from .
I think the 3 pos safety is a great feature especially for hunting, unloading with frozen fingers maybe in the dark and having a 700 gram trigger.

I got a 6.5 PRC coming.
That was a good price on BF..........The long wait begins.
Alright, so I have this Tikka CTR action currently chambered in 6.5CM with a barrel and barrel nut from PVA. If I wanted to get say a 6.5prc or a 300wsm barrel (specifically a CF wrapped one-for hunting), what all would I need to do to my rifle in its current configuration?
I know I’d have to buy a new bolt (SA magnum bolt face) for the bigger cases. Would I have to lose the barrel nut and have the new barrel shouldered? Or, just order a CF barrel blank, send it to PVA, and have them spin it up to fit their barrel nut? What about the bolt stop/release? Would I have to change that as well to accept a 6.5prc or 300wsm?
Pardon my ignorance, I’m just trying to figure out if I should go this route, or if I’d just be better off buying a separate rifle in one of those SA magnum calibers...? Here she is with the barrel nut:

I did that last year... Cabela's price-matching BPS' black Friday price, stacked with the now-gone 10% military discount, then paid with ~15% of gift cards. I figured that made it about even to add a prefit barrel vs. buying a CTR.
But that doesn't include 'smithing or buying gauges, and I got my OTD price to something like $450. Helped a little that I wanted a 24" .308, which wasn't happening with a CTR, would've had to settle for a 20".
