    Trigger pull weight general and Tikka?

    I like the 1.5-2 lb range for my hunting guns. I always slam the bolt foward hard and slam the butt of the rifle on the floor to make sure it dosent slam fire.

    Action options

    i wouldnt consider the tikka for a 300 wm because of the short length if you want to shoot heavy high bc bullets. the tikkas are better suited to the saum sized magnum cases.

    my Tikka build in 22GT

    If you custom order a stock or chose a flat top model you can chose whatever barrel channel you like. This one had a tikka heavy barrel inlet which im assuming is the tikka varmint barrel. Fits my light palma barrel verry well.

    my Tikka build in 22GT

    Oh i absolutely got lucky with my lead time on the barrel i dont doubt that one bit. I was completely expecting to wait the 4 to 6 weeks but even then, it was still much better than the 10-16 week lead times i had gotten from other companies.

    my Tikka build in 22GT

    The creed will get you a little higher velocity at the expense of barrel life. Many guys on the face book group are seeing 3-3500 round before pulling barrels. They are using much cooler burning magnum powders 4831sc, rl 26 so throat errosion isnt as bad as the creed.

    my Tikka build in 22GT

    Yes it is actually available on amazon. It is a 3d printed piece that slides onto the factory knob and tightens in place with a set screw. This is my temp fix until i can find the glades armory swept back handle i want.
