    DIY Tikka Barrel Swap, By Dioni Amuchastegui

    I’ve removed a factory barrel from an old R700 and swapped prefits around on my bighorn origins using a viper vise. Was ready to send my tikka 223 off for chopping and muzzle threads. Figured I would see what the hype was about removing a tikka barrel. Well the hype was true, it was not easy...

    I tried telling my tikka 6.5 PRC roughtec ember that it is not allowed to shoot better than the full custom 6.5 PRC costing 3x as much that I have built, but it will not listen. Picked 3 different powders, 2-3 grains under max book loads, and let her eat this morning. So much for load...

    Who else is a Tikka convert?

    There are two factory tapped holes with screws in the ember stock and the regular t3x stocks. One on the end of the stock and another closer to the action screw. The rules state that items can be added as long as you’re using factory mounting points and not permanently altering the rifle. Based...

    That’s a hell of a deal then! I might have to look into getting one of their cards.

    Who else is a Tikka convert?

    Does cabelas have a sale going on? I’ve been buying my tikkas from KYGUNCo, reeds firearms, and Family firearms. They don’t charge sales tax, minimal shipping costs, and with FFL fees, I’ve usually been able to beat my local big box stores by $50-$100

    Who else is a Tikka convert?

    There are lots of nicer rifles out there, had/built several that were nicer. At my current stage of shooting and other life commitments, the tikkas fit the void nicely. I don't feel that bad about scratching up a $1k rifle as I did some of my $4k+ builds w/o optics or cans. Its a start! How...

    Who else is a Tikka convert?

    Over the past few months I have thinned the heard of my R700 clone based customs and accessories for Tikkas. I've seen some of the threads here on RS, but never really gave them much attention. Earlier this year a good friend of mine, who like me, has had a plethora of R700 clone customs picked...

    The 338 ultra is overkill from my days of needing large magnum cartridges, but man is it quiet. I have a rugged micro30 and it’s nowhere near the sound reduction of the 338.

    The T3x lite in 6.5 creed got a makeover. Barrel chopped and threaded to 1/2”, made the stock look kool with some Krylon, put on an ATACR 4-16 in milR, UM rings, and a TBAC 338 ultra can, and it is still hammering with factory ammo. Since I purchased this rifle, I’ve sold off all but one of my...

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    I’ve purged most of my custom rifles/components, vortex scopes, 30 cal reloading equipment for 2 tikka 223s and a 6.5 cm, with trijicon, SWFA, and NF scopes thanks to the RSD. I need an DfRS now myself.
