Let's See Your Semi-Custom Tikka Builds

[Kilboars]

Are Tikka bolts proprietary to Tikka's or will other bolts fit their rifles?

All rifle actions' bolt are proprietary. You can't take a wby bolt into a rem, a sako into a kimber, a win into a browning.

Thank you, I was asking for a friend that wants to customize his some.

If you're looking for an aftermarket Tikka bolt, LRI has em. However the one I have, doesn't quite fit as well as factory, it functions 100% and headspace was within a thou so they're well done.

Thanks. I told him about the thread and the cool stuff you guys are doing but not sure what he really wants.

Do they have controlled round feed bolt that would be awesome

No CRF. I'd build off a bighorn origin if crf was your desire.

No thanks I’m 18 and don’t have a really great job yet so at the moment that isn’t in the cards

You're lucky you got the Eko to fit. I got one for my T3X and the inlet and pillars were way off.

How’s the textured rustoleum holding up? What product did you use? Clear coat? I’m about to paint a B&C stock on a rem Mod Seven I re-contoured the grip for more vertical and a palm swell.

It was a 5.5 contour they had on the shelf that I had them turn down as much as they were willing while leaving .725” on the muzzle for 5/8 threads. It’s a little heavier than I would have went if I spec’d from scratch but 2 weeks lead time beats 8 months. Some specs in pic below but don’t give the whole picture because it gets bigger at the muzzle. It only shaved a few ounces so probably could have saved more with fluting but I’m not big on fluting. Rifle weighs like 7lb 4 oz bare

Better than a expected with zero marks yet. I will say it was a little rough for a while but after a season it's perfect. I'm 99% sure I used Rustoleum aged iron multi color textured. Somewhere on this forum there's a post from a member I got the idea from.

 

[DangerRanger]

how much could one reasonably expect to get for a takeoff lite barrel and stock(bm+mag) if I was to buy one and tear it down?

 

[Lytro]

You can get a pretty good idea by looking at the classifieds on here. I was wondering the same yesterday and found quite a few listings. $60-$80 for each depending on condition seems to be reasonable.
