Badass Tikka Builds

Holy eye relief Batman.

Don’t love the scope that’s how it worked best with that one at least it was when it was on an MDT oryx. Probably need to adjust it. Just got the stock on it and have only shot it 3 times.

Semi custom tikka owner here - I notice a lot of guys are going to the UM tikka rings that mount direct to the dovetail. I like that idea! I think I’m going to try it out for myself…

My question - are you guys running out of elevation adjustment without a 20 MOA base? I realize this question has a lot of variables… just wanted to see what you guys are experiencing with your setups.

For reference - I’m shooting a 7MMRM / 162 grain bullet / 2,900 FPS. Also planning to try out a NF NX8. Mainly because they show more elevation adjustment vs the 30mm scope competition. I appreciate any input on

Tikka dovetail rings were a thing before UM. Dovetail mounted rings rock, IMO. All my Tikkas have them. Sportsmatch makes some great ones as well as UM.

Elevation adjustment? Do you regularly shoot out to 1000 yards? That’s roughly 10-12 mils holdover with your setup which is pretty doable with most 30mm scopes.

If I had a favorite rifle, this .270 Tikka build would be it. It’s within an oz of 8# with 5 rounds in the mag(not including the bipod).
1) AG Privateer stock
2) Swarovski Z3 3-10 in the UM micro height rail mounted rings
3) UM rail level and recoil lug
4) mountain tactical bottom metal and SS action screws
5) pic/arca rail installed
6) lighter trigger spring installed

I picked this gun up used and on sale though it looked unfired.

Sub moa accurate with most factory ammo and very accurate with Federal Fusion specifically. I hope to nitride the barrel and action when I really have it dialed in.
