Let's See Your Semi-Custom Tikka Builds

I have posted this rifle in the past, but it's now onto its third stock and fifth optic. I've finally settled on the DMR3 and I feel it suits the rifle perfectly.
T3 223AI - 1:7in Swan Barrel .830" no taper, spiral fluted. Finished at 18".
Grayboe phoenix. Waters Rifleman bottom and magazine. Manael lightweight arca rail. Arken rings. Can't remember what the bolt and shroud is.

Currently shooting the 88gr ELDM at 2630fps. Shot F-open with it a few weeks back, grouped very well at 900m.

[mention]J_Jacobson [/mention] the lavender nail polish puts it over the top, 11/10.

Far from the lightest (@ 7.3 pounds with the NF on it) or shoots bullets the fastest but @ 27" long folded its compact enough to tuck away in a plane, or boat or even in the pack if needed. More than likely be the rifle I now grab the most often and my fancy pants 22" carbon barrel Tikka w/HNT26 MDT chassis in the same cartridge will likely get more safe time. :)

Let me know if that HNT26 comes up for sale
 
[mention]luke moffat [/mention] what calibers?
Both are in 300 WSM. The 22" barrel one shoots 212s @ 2860 fps. That 1:11 twist on the cut down OEM Tikka barrel meant I didn't want to shoot the long 212 grainers in the 16.25" barrel. So the 178s in the shorty barrel are going 2960 fps (this same load has the 178s at 3190 fps in a 24" OEM barrel Tikka I have been loading for my hunting buddy for years.

The short barrel should be fine for 0-500 yards with that load and even better for if/when I gotta wade into the alders after bears with the short barrel and some 200 accubonds loaded up thus the 1-8 NX8 optic on it.
