Let's See Your Semi-Custom Tikka Builds

Did the B&C's make a difference?

Didn’t notice any change in accuracy with the 7mm and never shot the .338 with the factory stock. The “feel” of the B&C stocks is a lot better. They’re more substantial and you don’t get that hollow sound like you do with the factory stock. Cosmetically I like them a lot better as well.

As a long action? I'd expect 2800-2900 FPS in a long action with moderate pressures. Maybe a bit better if you max it out with RL26 or similar.

Ya it will be on a tikka action & 26” barrel. Kinda figured 2900ish but wondered if anybody had real world experience running this setup to share?

I can contribute now. I haven’t held this yet, just got pictures from Mike.

Started life as a 300wm t3x superlite
Action blueprinted and faced
Rem style recoil lug added
22” HCA light contour carbon barrel, 8 twist
7 SAUM throated for 175 eldx on a long action
MBM titanium beast brake
Southfort labs tikka long range stock, hydro dipped primarily to add grip to the slick stock
Mountain tactical bottom metal, long action wsm mag, bolt stop, and I think bolt shroud

She’s going to be topped with sports match rings and a NF 2.5-10x42.

Congrats on a sweet rifle. Keep us posted on how she shoots. Can’t wait to have mine built.

Nice rig.

I have a Southfort labs stock as well. I honestly don't know which model it is but its def one of theirs.

Zero help I know sorry.

Here's a pic of it to make up for it :

Luke, I think yours is what southfort calls the tikka bush hunter. Far as I can tell the only difference between the bush hunter and long range is the length of the fore end.

Wind gypsy, I also just had a custom 22”,
7 saum built, although not a Tikka. I’m in my initial load development, it is looking like it’s going to be a sweet setup. Using RL26 I hit 2858fps with 180eldm and I had no pressure yet. Wasn’t expecting that so I have loaded more to go back and shoot tomorrow. I’m thinking I’ll be able to get 2900-2950 no problem and it is looking awesome for the 175eldx and 180 eldms. Built mine on a medium Lone Peak Fuzion Ti.

Sounds like you own the dream! Have any pics? I'm ok with having the poor man's version Curious what brass you're using? I've found that ADG 6.5 SAUM has more capacity than my Norma 7 SAUM brass that was necked down to 6.5. I am going to run ADG brass for the 7 as well.

I'll PM ya about what you settle on for loads, I'm looking forward to breaking mine in.

I have 200 of ADG brass and 100 of Norma, but just using the ADG right now, keep the Norma for back up and just to have. Not sure I’m allowed to post a pic in the Tikka thread, but here it is : ) Built by Blue Mountain Precision

Hey! Get your non-tikka outta here! J.K.

Damn, she looks nice and fancy, sweet rig for sure!

 

[Kimber7man]

Nothing fancy, just a T3X 6.5x55 stainless fluted that I put in a McMillan Hunters Edge. Added MT bottom metal and rail. With scope it weighs 7 lbs 11 oz

 

[Jesse Jaymes]

Nothing really even Semi about it. Other than paint. But don't see too many Lefty SUPERLites. A Sportsman's snag.

For folks that have rebarreled their tikka, any advice on a gunsmith to use?
