Here's my ongoing project.

Tikka T3 that came as a 30-06 from the factory.
18" Criterion 30-06 barrel that I bought in a moment of weakness.
T3X stock and vertical grip. DIY barrel channel and paint job
SWFA 10x with the turrets trimmed down by Shaen Rifles
TBAC Ultra 7 to keep things civilized

It's ugly but it shoots and one of a kind!

I need that done to the windage turret on my 10x! Nice.

For high school graduation my son and I built this Tikka for him.
7saum
1:8 prefered barrel
ADG stock that he picked out
Topped it with a Leupold scope

We are working on a load shooting 155 gr hammer hunters.
It’s nothing fancy but so far it shoots good.
We had a good time working on it together; especially trying to take the factory barrel off.

Oh man… might give them a call. Anyone have any experience with them?

I got that version for a vanguard delivered this week, everything fits great.
@NV HUNTER has two on his vanguards.

I wouldn't hesitate if I were buying a Tikka stock. If it is anything like what I just got I think it will be top tier.

Sweet, I just got a Xlr element a few weeks ago and don’t really need another, but might try one of these for a future lightweight build.

Just sitting a little under 8 lbs. I am also changing out the VX5 for a VX3 for her just to get it a touch lighter and put a simple duplex in there.
Checkout swarovski z3 with ballistic turret for lightest build. Apparently only 14.5oz

What's that weigh and what bullet are you using? Any velocity data to share?

8lb 6oz without the bipod. It’s a heavy sporter profile which adds to the weight. I’m shooting 168 gr Barnes TTSX over 56gr of RL17 for hunting and 168 gr Hornady BTHP over 49.5 gr of 4064 for practice. Those are just the loads that are most accurate for me, book says 2850 for the Barnes and probably a little under 2800 for the Hornady but don’t have any verified speeds yet with the new barrel.
