    T3 Lite vs T3x CTR weight difference

    Good info! It’s been hard to find weights for CTRs so I’m sure many will appreciate this. Thanks!

    .270 Tikka T3x or Browning X-Bolt Stainless using solid copper bullets

    I have a T3x in 270 that didn’t shoot either mono I tried in it well. But that has nothing to do with Tikka and everything to do with this particular barrel. IMO, there isn’t a manufacturer that makes a barrel that “groups monos reasonably well”. It all comes down to the particular barrel you...

    Suppressor wait times

    I called this morning and got through after 51 minutes, but the woman I spoke with after the wait was both helpful and pleasant.

    Where do you buy Sportsmatch rings online?

    And yeah, Form and everyone else are right again. These things are awesome. Won’t be running anything else from here on out.

    Where do you buy Sportsmatch rings online?

    I just bought a set of TO84s on eBay from seller nickwake (some UK optic shop). Put the order in Aug 29th, rings showed up at my house in Montana yesterday, 9/5. To my door for $74 USD. Global economy is pretty amazing.

    Cutting a Barrel Ruins Precision?

    You could be right about that! But here’s my CTR next to my shotgun that I’ve owned since I was 15. I can’t tell you how many Ptarmigan that shotguns killed, how many miles it walked, and how many alder patches it’s been through. Grew up in Fairbanks. The strap was an addition this last fall. I...

    Cutting a Barrel Ruins Precision?

    I wish I’d never shot this rifle before deciding on whether to cut it. It would be easier not to know what it does at 24” :).

    Cutting a Barrel Ruins Precision?

    If it ruined one out of ten, would it be worth the risk to you? It just appears to be a bit of a gamble, no matter the sample size.

    Cutting a Barrel Ruins Precision?

    It’s a CTR barrel (Tikka), so hammer forged.

    Cutting a Barrel Ruins Precision?

    Alright, that right there convinces me. I guess I’ll be stuck at 30” with the can. It’ll be my open country gun lol.

    Cutting a Barrel Ruins Precision?

    Yeah see, that’s what makes me nervous. I’m shooting factory ammo and I can’t tweak the load. Did you shoot some big groups and notice the drop off?

    Cutting a Barrel Ruins Precision?

    Who has cut a barrel and seen a degradation of precision? And I’m not talking a three shot group, I mean shot some ten shot groups before and after the cut. I have a 24” barrel that is shooting 10 shot groups of multiple factory ammo types right at an inch and want to cut it to 20”. But I’m...

    Show your Tikka ten round groups

    First day at the range with a 24” stainless CTR. Bought it yesterday, mounted an SHV 3-10 and grabbed a box of Precision Hunter. Shots 8-18 through the brand new barrel went just barely under an inch at 100 yards. 92 degrees in direct sunlight, two barrel cleanings down to bare metal (one before...

    TIKKA CTR on a diet

    Hey fellow CTR weight watchers. Wanted to post some photos of some weights I pulled off my rifle today. Picked this sucker up for $736 out the door brand new. She’s heavy but with a few of these tips from @mtnwrunner , she’ll be climbing hills in no time. I had a hard time finding these types...

    TIKKA CTR on a diet

    Chalk this up to Rokslide spending more money. Local shop has a stainless CTR on clearance for $739… guess I’ll buy it and introduce it to this new fad diet. Thanks!

    TIKKA CTR on a diet

    @mtnwrunner, the timing on this is pretty amazing. I have an opportunity to buy either a 20” or 24” CTR at an amazing price, but the weight has been giving me pause. Just hoping to confirm I understand this correctly, you cut over a pound by removing the rail and by switching to T3x lite bottom...

    Peak 44 Bastion

    I followed back up with Peak 44 today and they said they’re looking to have the Tikka inlet done “in the next couple of months but don’t have an exact date yet”. Man, want one pretty bad.
