FINALLY!!! Tikka Left Handed 223's

[CTXhunter]

I bought this gun thinking. Sweet, cheap to shoot, I’ll throw on a 6x SWFA and throw it in the truck and shoot it a lot. After two range trips, good god, I love this gun. Setup with a Harris bipod, 6x Gen 2, UM rings and an Otter creek polonium. The UM group was the last I shot, and the gun was too hot to touch, so I don’t think this gun loves AAC ammo, but it shoots the OTM’s good enough. These are all 20 shot groups shot with about 10 minutes of a break in between

what stock in the lower one

Maybe I got lucky.
First: I measured 0.25” back from the magazine stop and used a thin diamond dremel bit to make a cut inside of the feed ramps.
Second: I used a dremel with a thin cutoff wheel to cut at an angle under the feed ramps.
Third: I used a sharp box cutter to score the walls of the “block” so I could fracture it.
Fourth: once I was convinced I had scored it enough, I used needle nose vice grips to fracture the magazine block out.
Fifth: i used a round file to remove any “proud” areas from the feed lips
Sixth: I cut the excess material off the top of the magazine block so it was flat.
Last: I glued it all back together with superglue.

In the future: I may need to reinforce the magazine block with spray foam. I also may need to add 0.25” back to the back of the follower to keep it from moving to the rear when cartridges are loaded.

Can I see a picture?

I'm right handed but funny that you mention that.

The shooter that has that stock specifically mentioned the trigger reach not being satisfactory. He likes the stock except for that issue.

Get a LH Rokstok. Mountain Tracker LR is OK too but has a huge grip.

In performing load dev with the 77 TMKs with some 1x fired LC ‘21 brass, this is about all the accuracy the gun can muster with LeverEvolution powder. I went up to 26.0 gr but felt that was tops. I wanted some ceiling for temp deltas so 25.0 was where I landed. This yielded me around 2,665 fps. I’m going to try AA2520 next to see if I can do better. Target was at 100 yds. Red square is 1”.

Making sure anyone on this thread sees yesterdays post from UM - another round of lefties queueing up. Min 50 rifles to get the order in...

Hey Roksliders,

The last order of 100 Rifles took 9 months to get here and with 250 emails signed up to purchase we barely sold the 100 rifles. This time I will ask for a $100 deposit to secure your rifle and when we hit 50 deposits I will place the order for 100 rifles. The last order took 9 months to arrive, but that included time for approval of the order, creation of the SKU for me, and so on. The SKU is now ready to order at any time so this order should be faster, i would guess around 6 months.

Rifle spec:
Tikka T3X Left Handed
.223 REM 20" Stainless
5/8-24 Muzzle threads with cap...

Seen that, I hope there’s 50 more that want one. I missed the email as well by the time I seen it they were gone!

Long ways to go. Only at 6 deposits out of 50.
