I figured. What is the draw to Tikka that everyone likes so much?Part out a factory rifle.
I think you just knocked it down a peg with that comparison.Now that they have aftermarket support they’re like a savage with bling.
Meh.I think you just knocked it down a peg with that comparison.

What is a yo dave trigger spring? Why just replace the spring and not the whole trigger?
Got it. Guessing, since I've read this before, there aren't a lot of after market parts for tikka actions like there are for remington clones?Spring cost $10. Performs like a Trigger Tech Special.

The Ultimatum defacto would be my goto to open up more trigger options but unfortunately you don't have the option to order one without a trigger so you are stuck with trying to sell off the TT that it comes with.
Man does it suck being left handed. Trying to find a used one is tough. And the t3x usually runs $800+ new.
I didnt know left hand tikkas were that much. Right hamd short action t3x lite can be found online for well under $500 shipped.Man does it suck being left handed. Trying to find a used one is tough. And the t3x usually runs $800+ new.
True a savage you say?Another great thing about Tikkas compared to say a Remington or Savage action is, no need to true/blueprint a Tikka action. Both Tikkas I’ve owned didn’t need any truing according to the gunsmith.
Yeah people dont do thatTrue a savage you say?

70 degree bolt throw vs 90 for R700 and clones.I figured. What is the draw to Tikka that everyone likes so much?
I feel like a dick. I have 2 lefty Tikka's. Got them both on here ?Man does it suck being left handed. Trying to find a used one is tough. And the t3x usually runs $800+ new.
Fake News my friendIsn't the recoil lug considered a weak point of the Tika?

True remington yes absolutely
Savage tikka ruger lol no
That is actually pretty common.I did have the bolt face on one savage trued, it was slightly domed. It cycled alot smoother and brass didnt have a rub mark all around primer where it sat on dome. He only took a couple thou off to get to flat, headspace was still good to go afterwards.
Let's pump the brakes a scosh - it's a very good factory option, but doesn't rival a custom action in feel.Tikka actions rival most customs in the $1,000 range. They’re incredibly smooth.
Tikka triggers rival most aftermarket triggers in the $150 range. Clean break, no creep.
I own 2, both with factory triggers and aftermarket barrels. I also have a $1400 custom action and sometimes wonder why I didn’t buy Two more Tikkas.

Cant say i agree - the Tikka in my opinion always felt sloppy in the raceway as opposed to something well fit like a Defiance, Kelby, Borden, etc.I think it’s the smoothness of the action/bolt throw that people compare to some custom actions. I know for me, i had a Defiance LA, and I preferred the overall feel and shorter bolt lift of the Tikka. Granted, that’s just one example and my own personal preference between those 2. Now, there are lots of custom actions that I’d much rather have over a Tikka, but for a factory offering, those Tikkas are titties!?

To each their own.IDK, I've had a few people that run Defiance actions, pick up my Tikka .223 with a Sterk bolt handle, cycle it and make the comment "Crap that's smooth. Makes me think maybe I should've just gotten a Tikka."
And that has happened several times...
I wouldn’t say there crappy mine would shoot pretty consistent 3/10’s 5 shot groups, but I didn’t like the ergonomics of it so mine went into manners. Then they wouldn’t shoot as good, until I bedded them then they shot even better than beforeSo how crappy are the CTR stocks? What’s their problem or are we talking very accurate with factory vs insanely accurate with aftermarket?
The ctr stocks are plenty stiff. They aren't like Remington adl stocks or savage stocks. They shoot plenty well in them too. I hunt with a CTR and it wears the factory stock because they are light. If you plan on target shooting with it then a stock upgrade is nice to add weight and/or fit.So how crappy are the CTR stocks?
