    With the cost of bottom metal and bedding the cost of the hunting chassis options from mdt and xlr start becoming in the same budget for sure .

    What bottom metal and trigger did you put with that action? I’ve been looking at the Hawkins hunter with flush magazines for a while Incase I went away from tikka but have never found one in stock.

    It is seeming like I need to go through bug holes. I'm not going to complain about the performance of the 6mm creedmoor rifle my local guy built on a tikka action as its shooting sub 0.5 moa with factory ammo without even being broken, but I am not going to turn down saving money.

    Total cost locally to have a barrel installed threaded and coated is $750. Using BugHoles it would be $625 plus shipping and transfer fees. I guess I'd save $100 bucks going that route instead of local.

    My other build has a bartlein barrel. It cost me 550 to have a local gunsmith chamber the barrel and install it on a tikka action. I've never handled a custom action, but I don't know what they offer for the money over the priced of a tikka action with a fluted bolt. $1500 plus a trigger...

    I have purchased a Tikka action from JA Outdoors for a build in the past and was happy with their customer service and the sale. They are now offering barreled tikka actions with carbon barrels from hells canyon armory or steel barrels from ace. Does anyone have any experience with the quality...

    Let's See Your Semi-Custom Tikka Builds

    Tikka Action from J A Outdoors with a Bartlein 3b barrel cut to 18” and threaded for the harvester evo. Leupold vx3 3.5x10 and a compact tikka stock that I had to dremel out to fit the barrel profile finished it off for now. Probably will end up in a chasis at some point.

    I think from a balance point with the supressor, a 2B profile would have been better, but I found the 3B on sale and went with it. I'd say once I put a full sized stock on it, the balance my feel more centered. It definitely wasn't a budget route and I probably should have just gotten a 243...

    Got my Suppressor out of jail this week. Rifle is finished and ready to start getting it dialed in. First groups are promising with Barnes and sig ammo. Needless to say I’m happy with the build and look forward to my kids enjoying it with me.

    Tikka youth build

    I finally got the barreled action back and milled out the stock for the larger barrel. Right now it’s sitting as a 6mm creedmore with an 18” Bartlein 3b barrel with a Tikka action and Tikka compact stock. Put a Leupold vx3 hd 3.5x10 on it with Talley rings. Weighs in at just under 8 lbs fully...

    Tikka youth build

    I ended up buying the Bartlein barrel that was in stock at Mile High Shooting as the price was lower than shown on Bartlein’s website by about $40. I’m thinking the 3b profile should weigh a bit under 3lbs cut down to 18”. I plan to put a VX3 HD scope on the rifle, so I should be around 8 lbs...

    In case anyone was wondering the tikka compact stock weight is 1lb 10.6oz.

    Tikka youth build

    I have looked into prefits, but I’m not sure of my ability to install one, definitely not the tools. I have read threads about difficult to remove tikka barrels, but I guess since I have just the action I wouldn’t have that problem.

    Tikka youth build

    My thought on 6mm is it’s will be mild shooting, great at range and then down the road they can make a call on a caliber of rifle to be their own as they move up to hunting on their own. I probably could have just gone with the 243 but I like to have something a little different every once and...

    Tikka youth build

    That was a consideration. Part of me is a little selfishly building a rifle for me too so that when they grow into a real stock we have a long range gun to shoot together if they take a real interest in it. The thought of just buying a tikka stainless lite putting the compact stock on and...

    Ultralight hunting rifle

    The new fierce carbon rogue sure seems like a decent option to fit into this niche. I have no real experience but you can get a 20” barrel and have a suppressor for under 3000.

    Tikka youth build

    I am in the process of building a rifle for my young boys to have as their first rifle. I have a Tikka action and sourced a tikka compact stock as a chasis just was too much at this time. I am going to build the rifle in 6cm and am in the process of finding a barrel for my smith to chamber and...
