Members opinions of the Winchester Mod. 70?
Resprung X Mark, sides milled out to open it up. sub 2lbs, what finally stopped it was wet fire pit ash and then freezing. other than that it kicked butt. -

You can swap to any knob that pleases. Many options.. Did I show you this experiment ’Form? It did quite well in my abuse trials. 😆 -

Thank you very much for the kind words OregonMuley, your two 7-08’s were the Perfect blueprint. I need to duplicate one for myself. I’m in the Eastern Sierra, would hate to be associated with Socal.... 😆 -

Definitely don’t have to (shouldn’t) close the bolt to unload. -

The push feed m70’s are excellent actions. Sliding extractor, flat bottom, integral lug, simple, open trigger design, three position safety. -

Tikka - tough/tight bolt closure? normal?
For anyone else reading, when you lap the bolt, abutments in the traditional manner you grind an angle into them. The leading edges travel the farthest, trailing edges very little. Lotta damage has to be done to affect headspace. -

Tikka - tough/tight bolt closure? normal?
Do not “lap” the thing into headspace spec. If it’s a factory tikka action and barrel it is in spec. There is something else wrong, mechanical or ammo. Is the lug seated? If not the action is being bent when you tighten the screws. -

Tikka AG composite stock feed issue
Hi Matt, while we have your ear, a couple things. there is clearance between the lug and the lug recess in the action. On some stocks the pillars are centered when the action is forward. Needs to be the other way. Regarding the lugs, please don’t glue them in. If they aren’t absolutely perfectly... -

Tikka AG composite stock feed issue
It’s easier to deal with the bottom metal inlet than the action inlet, especially because the lug is often glued in. you would also need to deal with recessing the tang and barrel channel clearance. I’ve built quite a few Tikkas using AG stocks, you can’t always have flush metal. Cross section... -

You will need to inlet the bottom metal deeper, or fabricate a longer mag latch. -

How to clean/avoid the carbon ring?
To clarify what I posted, I have left them soaking for extended periods intentionally trying to damage the barrel. I wasn’t able to etch or pit one. I’ve tried the same with Sweets. In actual use I use will squirt some in the bore guide, patch it, let sit for a few minutes, and patch it out... -

How to clean/avoid the carbon ring?
I’ve found CLR to be very good at removing carbon. I’ve left barrels filled with it for a few days, used it with patches, etc with no Hawkeye visible damage. Perhaps its the dry climate or some other variable. I’ve also found many common cleaners to be very poor at removing carbon, or too slow... -

Attempting to fix my failed bedding job - Tikka T3 in an Axial/Alterra
Looks like once the lug stopped taking the rear load it was transferred to the pillar, either from screw contact or friction, and acted as a wedge behind the pillar. If it’s just soft foam filler around the lug and pillar it’s a serious design flaw. In my opinion none of these tikka stocks... -

How many rounds do you want in the magazine? I’d pass on the extended box in a Rem long action. -

Converting T3X 7mm Rem Mag to 28 Nosler Possible?
The problem is fitting the long cases in a mag with a bullet seated in a reasonable spot. 284 is perfect for the Tikka action, or one of the short mags.
