Just finished mounting the scope up earlier today. She turned out a bit heavier than I was hoping for, but I'm excited for the build to finally be done. Wanting to upgrade the bipod soon to something more stable.

Who is going to be first?
Just got my shipping notification this morning…
New member/long time lurker here and a new Tikka owner. Own a few other name brand rifles (Savage, Browning, Ruger) but never a Tikka. Felt a few/know some people with Tikkas and all have super smooth actions/say good things about them. That being said, I knew Tikka makes great rifles and after reading through all 89 pages within 5 months, I had a few things planned and Sportsman finally had the rifle in stock that I've been eying. I picked up a T3x Superlite chambered in 300WSM back in January or February but haven't got to shoot it yet. Been at the gunsmith for a few months to get a few things done to it. While I was waiting, I picked up another Tikka because of this forum, a 308 Veil K2.

308-Nothing custom really.

Haven't decided if I want to run a bipod. If I do, it'll be a Spartan Jav Pro Hunt Tac.

No current photos sorry. Been busy with life. New dad, new career and 6 new firearms to shoot but no time. 2 of those are Tikkas 🙂 I'll update photos whenever I get out.

And sorry for the long post!

Life is good 👍
I’ve got the twin. Just put the rugged brake on but haven’t shot it. How do you like it?

I know this has been discussed on several threads but nothing super recent. Any suggestions for a carbon barrel in 7RM running a suppressor if that matters.

I love it. Love it so much that I got the triplets. One still in jail though. Should be any day now.

Got a barreled action done. Still looking at stocks and trying to decide on a scope since I can't find a NXS compact. Trying to stay light on this one so the suppressor doesn't make it too heavy.

McGowen 20" barrel. Copied the stock barrel contour with a slight flare for 5/8x24 threads. Custom chambered in 7 SAUM for 175 ELD-x. Mt Tactical trigger spring.View attachment 436773
All done now but the suppressor. Added a Credo and the carbon stock from Stocky's.
