No prob. One of my Tikkas is a 6.5x47 Lapua that uses small rifle primers. Never had a problem.Gold. Thanks mate
I have yet to shoot farther than 300 m (short shooting ranges here in the south of Sweden), but from 50-300 m I have not had any problems.
I most definitely will, although it will probably be quite a while until such an opportunity presents itself. Overall it is a really solid optic - although for the price a lot of 5-25 power scopes can be had. I prefer the weight saving though - as well as the ruggedness - as it is mainly a hunting rifle.Appreciate it, sound like you have no problem focusing at shorter ranges, please do update us whenever you're able to take it out to extended ranges. I've always enjoyed the specs of this optic.
I am planning on taking a train ride, (Sitting next to the bar car, of course), and going to the Manners shop to check all of the selections out. It's about a 5 hour ride for me. There are so many different models to choose from, and I called them months ago, and they said they would have different rigs, already set up with actions, barrels, and scopes on order to get the feel. Im not use to spend so much $$ on a stock, and not knowing 100% for sure what Im going to be getting. From the designs, to the colors, and the weights. It doesn't take a lot to confuse me, and Im about as confused as i can be as to which one I want right now. It should be fun!!
Im retiring now, and I will be considering this my party road trip!!
if you are going to travel all that way, you might as well stop in at GAP and Badger. They are within in sight, across the street.I am planning on taking a train ride, (Sitting next to the bar car, of course), and going to the Manners shop to check all of the selections out.

Congrats for your new Tikka CTR. The plastic oversized bolt comes glued apart the grub screw. I can't remember exactly how I took out mine but was a PITA.Well, after a lot of research (a lot of that lurking here, thanks SHF!) I finally made a decision and placed an order. Tikka T3X CTR in .308. Most of my shooting will be 500yds or less on white tail deer. But I wanted something that could fill the role as a long range hole punch also. So a compromise gun if you will. And from my research here, it'll be more than adequate for my needs. Really impressed thus far, super slick action, good trigger (haven't touched it yet) pull that breaks like glass, and the stock seems like it's going to fit me well.
One question though, how do I get the cheesy plastic oversized bolt handle off? I removed the grub screw, but it's not budging at all.

I would love to have that barrel to my Tikka T3 CTR
Well, my excitement was short lived. Any opinions on whether you'd ask them to just send a new rail and screws, or go on the assumption that if it's enough to bend the rail, then the threads in the top of the receiver are screwed and just get a whole new gun?
I’m sure if you buggered up the threads any competent smith can fix it for you.
Were you prying on the rail? Using heat?
I haven't touched it, it came out of the box like this. I had no need to mess with the rail other than to mount my rings.

Get one without the wait, while in stock!
If you happen to have a barrel to replace it with that might be a option.
What the hell! Who's your dealer? Was it used? I'm sure if you bought it new your dealer will take care of it.
CTR's come with a screw on the front of the rail that is used to secure a Sako mirage band. It's supposed to stick up. Either Tikka torqued the hell out of it, or you LGS thought it was a mounting screw and hamfisted it down. I'd be contacting both for a possible exchange, chances are they buggered up the Tikka action rail and at least owe you a new Scope Rail.
Just got my Sterk swept handle and Gen2 shroud. Ordered this set in FDE to match my J Allen when it decides to show up. I know I say this every time I post about it, but @cannoncrossfire fit and finish is unreal. This is my third set I've ordered through him and I've never been disappointed! Hoping to get it out this weekend with the holidays and my work site being shut down for the week.

Rail crisis is resolved. Backed the screw out and the rail returned to straight and true. I was just hesitant to mess with it because if I did have to send it in, then I've monkeyed with it. Someone let me know that front screw has no hole in the reciever, someone tipped me off that's it's for a heat shield or some shit, maybe for a different model. Just glad that so far I'm good.

People that have emailed will be notified as parts are available from any cancelled orders etc. Tactical Works (site sponsor) have received their order and have them on their site for those that didn't want to wait. I've got a wait list building already so it's doubtful I'll be trying to get rid of anything. Machining runs are based off the emails/pre-orders.Are there any of these left from the latest batch?
Highly recommend the Yo Dave Spring! No need to tune the set screw all the way out it gets very light.Just received my YoDave spring today, I can't wait to install it this weekend.
I was shooting yesterday with my friend on his sand pit.
Longest targets were 750 yards.
This is the longest that i have had opportunity to shoot, and it was so so nice.
Quite nasty side wind from the left side made it quite challenging, but i made few nice shots.
I also tested the tripod, but only on the 430 yards, but that was the max on this wind, with the tripod, stil need to practice on that.
My two CTR and my friend TAC A1 in 260rem with Zeiss Diavari 6-24x56 mil scope.
It was really good day to shoot, and give us a very nice lesson about the wind, so far we had almost zero wind, so we need to learn a lot about the weather and other obstacles, but that makes this so nice, that you think you are good, but you not that good at all

Im located in Australia so buying direct would definitely be a better option. Will check on leftover stock this weekend and email out. Can't yet afford to be a site sponsor yet sadly so can't advertise here.Ah no worries, thanks for the information. I don’t think tactical works ships to Aus so I’ll be patient, I need another hobby I swear.
Sweet setup! I need friends like this.
Just upgraded my tikka with a new bravo and sterk swept bolt handle! Now I have a trainer for my trg and my match 6.5x47 beanland
