    This definitely should be a sticky. A bunch of great info and posted in a way that’s easy to understand. I’ve been hanging out and learning here for a while now, reading all the various threads helped me to finally come to a decision on a new rifle/caliber combo after months of information...

    UM Tikka bolt handles

    Cleaned internal and external threads with a pick some rubbing alcohol. A little Loctite 380 inside the ball, tightened up with a leather glove wrapped around the ball and a pair of water pump pliers. All went together well. I don’t think these are coming apart anytime soon. This is a nice...

    Tikka 223

    I went down the rabbit hole as well. Spent quite a while on here reading the 223 and 6/243 threads and listening to as much info as my head could absorb. Just got my 223 and 243 since I live in a state that doesn’t allow big game hunting with less than 6mm. Now it’s time to get out and start...

    Centerfire rifle drop testing: Tikka/SWFA

    Marbles, thanks for posting this thread. I think it’s great to be able to watch you walk through the troubleshooting process and eliminate possible causes of your zero shift. This is immensely helpful as I will be walking through this same process on two new Tikka rifles.

    UM Tikka bolt handles

    UM Tikka bolt handles

    Dobermann, glad this all worked out and thanks for the info. I have two new Tikkas on the way and am planning on replacing the bolt handles with the UM bolt handles. This will help speed up the install process and help me avoid any headaches.

    Black Bear hunting resources

    One more vote for Doug Boze’s book. Lots of great info in there. The guys over at PNWild have a few podcasts as well with some really solid info. They also have a couple with Doug Boze on as a guest.
