Tikka T3 Thread

[CaptNemo]

Quick question. I see many of the guys here have a holder for a couple of ready rounds next to the exjection port. What are they called & where can I get some ? I’ve tried lots of search terms & nothing comes up Cheers

Short Action Precision makes them

 

[Kmahow2]

Many thanks getting them sorted ?

Finally got this Tikka to the range just to see what it could do. was planning on rebuilding it as I really don't have a need for a light weight rifle. However, after seeing how it shoots I don't know if I want to mess with it.

Anyone know of a source for tikka take-off barrels? Picked up a 7mm mag t3 lite today and would like to put a 300wsm barrel on it at some point.

 

[ArmchairOperator]

Anyone have the Manners MCS-EH1TK? Pictures? And where did you buy it?

 

[IDbound]

Strike33: Which model Tikka do you have. (Sorry if I missed it if you mentioned before today.

 

[ArmchairOperator]

Simple fix... don’t load your bipod.

So are you saying it’s incorrect to preload a bipod?

 

[just browsing]

So are you saying it’s incorrect to preload a bipod?

Not so much “incorrect” as it is unnecessary. Everyone has their own style that works for them, but the point is that you don’t need to pre-load a bipod to shoot accurately or consistently.

Its a T3 6.5 Creedmoor with an XCaliber Barrel, fluted bolt, McMillan Game Scout, Trigger Spring, Swept bolt handle and Mountain Tactical aluminum bottom metal.
Its amazing that its as accurate as it is with an unbedded stock

What is the correct way then? I’ve had issues with the rifle jumping when I don’t load the bipod, which is why I started doing it. Granted this is a very light weight hunting rifle in 270win. What should I try instead of preloading?

Thanks I’ve had a couple of replies to the query & have ordered some of these. If anyone in the UK needs some, I have ordered a selection, so they will be available from UK stock shortly.

Many thanks to those that responded.

Just got my T1X mounted into my McMillan A5. Waiting on the scope rail to show up so I can take it out to the range!

I wish I had McMillians laying around for a .22 What head is that on the tripod?

 

[Brighthighlight]

Finally got my new rifle out. Really like how it's looking so far. Did some barrel break in. This is 8 cold bore shots with a damn good cleaning in between

I will have to look through my orders. It was just one I found off of Amazon. McMillan's are nice ? I took it off my 223 trainer since I just bought a J Allen for it.

Got my 224 Valkyrie put together Friday. This this shoots pretty good, just need good weather to dial in the load.

How are you liking the ACC chassis? Have you added any weights to it yet?

I have this chassis on one of my custom guns in 6XC (sorry this one is not a Tikka haha), I have it loaded with barrel channel weights and the butt stock weight and the recoil with my Heathen brake is almost non-exist ... really a great chassis to play around with

Not a positive attribute for me. I hate those magazines. I’m either going to sell the rifle or put it in an AICS-compatible chassis.

No, you drop in the CTR DBM. I have one on my tikka

Grayboe makes an aics bottom metal that fits a ctr inlet. Mine should be here Monday along with their terrain stock.

 

[Stooxie]

So funny to see the hot and cold feelings on the CTR vs AICS mags. I've had both, I'd take the CTR mags any day over AICS.

I haven't tried the AICS mags, so I can't comment on them. But since I had problems with my CTR mags about a year ago, and fixed them, they've been great. No probs.

Unfortunately none of that fixed my problem. All three of my CTR magazines completely suck and fail to feed the 9th and 10th round 100% of the time.
