I had two built off of Tikka actions and they are fantastic. Bartlein 20” 3B barrels, Tikka action, one in a Rokstok and another in a KRG Bravo. They’re fast, accurate… I can’t think of anything I’d change on them
Definitely… I was really hoping this one would shoot better 😂
I know carbon barrels have maybe fallen out of favor around here compared to normal profiles with threads or flared ends. But I have never tested one myself and figured Proof had a solid reputation. The price was right and I think...
A rifle I put together on a Tikka action. This one was previously a 6.5CM SuperLite. Now it wears a 22” Proof barrel in 6.5CM.

Hi all,
Looking for a set of the UM Tikka rings, 34mm 1.3” height. Let me know what you’ve got…. They’re back ordered on their site currently. Looking to put them on a rifle for hunting and NRL Hunter matches.
Thanks

Making sure I understand what you’re saying… I should set my die to get me to ~1.524” for...
Oh yeah that factory ammo was terrible lot to lot as far as velocity consistency. It’s initially what got me to start reloading.
Resizing die: I set this up to bottom out with a slight cam over. I do have a headspace comparator but don’t remember the measurement off the top of my head, and...
Brass prep:
I’ve got a box full of once fired Norma brass. It started life as Golden Target ammo that I fired through this rifle.
Lube. Run through full length sizing die and deprime. Next I trim to 1.910” I believe (I don’t have the book in front of me currently). After that I do a quick...
