Didn't see this mentioned anywhere here yet, so I thought I would point out that Ultimatum Precision (makers of the Deadline and action for the JP bolt guns) is close to dropping a new action with a Tikka T3 footprint.
Only details so far are from their Instagram, which I'm including below. Since this is in the public domain I assume this is above board, if not I will pull the photos. The text of the post word for word:
Looks to use the same Tikka bolt handle dovetail (maybe?) which is nice since the aftermarket offerings from Sterk are nice but notcheap something you want to toss with the action.
Also confirmed to use Rem 700 triggers.
Looks like some chassis inletting may be required for some triggers.
I can't decide whether this is a brilliant play to offer an upgrade path for all the Tikka owners out there like me who have sunk a fair bit into their Tikkas and don't want to lose all that investment by switching to a new action. (At present I am weighing a switch to Rem 700 footprint action and chassis, or a chassis upgrade for my Tikka.)

Hmmm wait a minute, that's not a Deadline...!? Indeed! That is the first working prototype of our new DeFacto barreled action!
The DeFacto is a 3 lug, solid bolt design, based off of the Tikka T3 foot print.
Just thought I'd give you guys a little sneak peak!
Pricing and release date TBA!
