Chassis recommendations for Tikka T3x

[Thebigbaby]

Just shoot us a message if you have any questions about our chassis! We offer the Element and Envy Pro for the Tikka T3 action.

Do you have any discount codes available?

Is the rifle going to be used in the field for hunting, or will it be a range toy, or a PRS rifle, etc.?

I run a Tikka ace game on a 6.5 prc or a mdt oryx on my 22-250 & 6.5 creed. They are kinda the buget chassis from mdt, but i like them. The tikka ace is a very good choice, integrated arca already in the forend, haven't used it alot, just a deer at 200 & a couple coyotes

Another vote for the KRG Bravo.

Is that a factory T3x lite barrel or what contour is it?

And, what’s the weight of that setup?

Yes that is the factory lite barrel. I just dropped it off to get cut and threaded today. I will have to weigh it when I get it back. Its heavier than the factory stock by 1 lb I believe, then the magazine is a 12rd mdt mag, so that probably adds another lb +/-. I have a polymer mdt 10 rd mag as well. It is chambered in 6.5 CM running handloads with 130gr TMKs and varget for powder.

I am happy with the tikka inletted foundation Ezekiel stock and Hawkins bottom metal

I’m really liking my MDT HS3 folder chassis which is discontinued I believe. IMO, where chassis make sense is in long range heavier builds or sniper setups. This build in 280 AI is at 12#.

I run Xlr elements but they’re some cold mofos to deal with this time of year

Looking for some advice on which chassis to get for my t3x.
Doesn't have to be anything ultralight.

Xlr element

Have you owned a chassis before? The Rokstok lite is something to consider. It would certainly help mitigate the 6.5 PRC recoil for accuracy and followup shots, and is warmer and quieter in the woods to carry.

Edit for clarity.

I really like my xlr elements. The problem with tikkas in chassis' is that nobody makes a lightweight aics magazine for the magnum cartridges.... (I could go on an on about that) This probably won't affect you if you dont care about weight.

Do you consider MDTs poly mags heavy?

The mdt plastic mags would be great, the problem is only the short action non magnum magazines will work with a Tikka. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've really looked hard for light 3 round magnum aics magazines that work for Tikkas and haven't found anything.

 

[mtnbound]

They don't work for tikkas. They are too long. I would love if they did.

The XLR chassis I had used AICS mags, I used the MDT poly mags in 6.5CM and 223 with no major issues. My HNT26 also uses them with no issues.

They don't make plastic magnum magazines that work with Tikkas. OP has a 6.5 prc
