That's something I do not have. I've just trusted my pre-fits for better or worse.
That was my plan as well until I received a prefit 300wsm barrel and it seemed a bit too hard to close the bolt on factory ammo. Bought the guage and it confirmed my suspicions. I couldn't rent a guage for much cheaper than buying one. Now I have a 6gt, 300wsm, and a Creedmoor go guage. I know th Creedmoor guage is good for 6, 6.5, possibly others. Maybe the same with the GT and WSM?

Nice and simple. Care to share a pic of the "finished product" with the barreled action installed showing the gap on all sides from multiple angles?

How did you determine your depth needed? Just kept test fitting?
Ya had to test fit quite a bit, ended up using a piece of printer paper folded in half to check free float. It turned out good enough for me.5D9B23AD-F97A-40C5-9EF3-759610FB3D2D.jpegA2CAF0DE-5EC6-494A-9474-22895844BF86.jpegB0C8CE9F-8DA0-42FF-AB88-9B088E2E2230.jpeg60499AC6-9A6F-4C74-B6C5-6521D3CCEA87.jpegAAC01039-C628-47B5-9B43-EBD763CF1A69.jpeg

Here's my first semi custom tikka It started its life as a blued t3x 300 win mag. I just got in all the parts and finished last week so I was able to get out to the range this weekend and try some handloads as this was my first time handloading so just to get some experience and some rounds down the barrel.

What colors did you use on the stock? Looks good. Might try that on mine. Thanks

Lefty 308, vx3hd 4.5-14 x40, ti bolt handle, yodave spring, talley lw, I modded the stock by adding a arca plate in front of the mag. Comes in at 7lb2oz empty. It shoots 150ttsx and 155 scenars into the same group out to 330yds or so. I just shoot scenars after that. Both are at 2960fps. It's never let me down.

Nice rig I like that, a fellow Canadian and the bolt is on the proper side. Those Scenar's sound like they work well for you at longer ranges and pretty tough to beat the TTSX at closer range.
