I have few very good reload tips for you, if you are going to use Lapua bullets and Vihtavuori powders
Does anyone have a rundown of which aftermarket stocks/chassis take CTR mags. I’m pretty sure that McMillan and McCrees and then I know that Manners and KRG have both discussed/working on the option. Any others? Really trying to upgrade my stock but also don’t want to move to AICS mags. CTR mag fits my needs just fine.
Grayboe also will do a CTR DBM inlet.
I’ve got one coming (sometime).
Manners does and eurooptic has a good deal right now.

Your manners rep is wrong. Hate to say that but it true. That manners T4a drop in stock sold by euro optic takes the factory bottom metal and uses factory CTR mag. I know cause I have oneUnfortunately that will require a different DBM apparently. I was talking to a Manners rep today as I was tired of waiting on the CTR Mini Chassis (14 months later). He indicated that none of their stocks take the factory DBM, which as far as I can tell is the only thing that allows for the CTR mags, which I prefer to keep.

German Gun Stock.
Three versions: Raptor, Ranger and Predator.
They are inletted for either the standard T3 inlet or the CTR inlet if you have a spare CTR BM and thus use the CTR mags.
You can also get the Mountain Tactical or Atlas Works CTR inlet BM for AICS mags down the track if you want to change the mags over without changing the stock. PFM!
I can't wait for my T3x Lite 7mm Mag to get out of stupid CA Gun jail! My first Tikka and first left handed rifle! So stoked!
I have one also and can confirm that NAS78 is right. I just moved over the bottom metal and mag from my factory CTR and the Manners T4a ran like a champ. Looks and feel awesome. Wish I had done it when I got the rig.Your manners rep is wrong. Hate to say that but it true.

35 hours and 35 minutes left..... Stupid California
My TAC is going to be delivered tomorrow, so 11 days and 5 or 6 hours for me... agreed that this State is stupid!
While the wait sucks, it will be worth it.
You better order it now and you will probably still be waiting for it when you need it.Yup. It's my first Tikka. The action is so damn smooth when I fondled it the other day. Different world compared to an off the shelf Remington. My other bolt gun is an RPR, so it spoiled me on the shorter throw action. When I found out Tikka had a 75 degree throw, it was a no brainer.
Once I shoot our the barrel, a PVA prefit is definitely gonna happen.
Question, I just installed my new field tactical chassis which is absolutely freaking awesome, I went through and did the instructions exactly as defined and did not see anything about using Loctite on the rail nor the action screws so I left it be. Has anyone done anything different? Are used exact torque specs and went over everything precisely. Also while I had the action out installed a yo Dave trigger spring and am now set at exactly 1 pound trigger pull, is that dangerous?
@WVHick that is a sweet rifle you've put together. What stock is that and what maker of the barrel?
Put the lathe to use and put together this 16.5” build together for my Dad for Ohio hunting. 450 Bushmaster. I’m a big fan of Tikka actions.
Very nice!
West VA? Do you shoot @ Peacemaker?
Took the 6Creed out over the weekend to get it ready for the Mayhem national match here in Utah this upcoming weekend. The thing is a shooter with the 112Gr Barnes Match Burners. I also upgraded to a Sphur mount, I had ARC rings on it before but I noticed the hinge pins were walking out under recoil so I figured it was time.

Looking good. Which sphur do you have? And where did you get that arca 2 rail?
Easier said than done but the best way to put the factory mag issues behind you is to swap out the CTR bottom metal to any one of Mountain Tactical, RedSnake, or CDi bottom metals and run AICS mags...

Do you still have seating issues if your bolt is all the way back?
Generally speaking, the CTR mag is tough to insert even in the factory stock when it's packed full. That spring is serious business. But if you put some force behind it, it locks right in.
Yes, even with the bolt fully back as in waiting to begin a PRS stage, it's darn near impossible to get a mag to seat unless I'm hammering it in. Even then, sometimes it will pop out after the first round is fired.
Red from Redsnake Tactical mentioned a possible fix that I will have to look into. He said the inlet in the Manner's might be slightly too deep, which is preventing the magazine catch from fully engaging. I'm going to look into this and see if I can fix said issue.
I'm also looking seriously at the Atlasworx bottom metal, but honestly if the inlet is too deep, I might have the same issue with an AICS mag.
