Let's See Your Semi-Custom Tikka Builds

[Sadler]

Finally! XLR element 4.0 chassis, 20” carbon six barrel chambered in 6.5 PRC, Nightforce 2.5-20 MOAR F1 and a Thunderbeast Ultra 7. All in loaded it weighs 10.5 lbs

Patriot brown has a nice glow in the sun. Still my favorite tikka.

Doesn’t look a whole lot different from the first picture but I just got this back today from Black Canyon Customs out of Denver.
Allterra stock BCC opened up the barrel channel to fit the 3B in it.
Bartlein 3B at 18 inches threaded for the suppressor whenever that gets out of jail.
Was thinking about cerakoting there barreled action or painting the stock but the SS over black CF is winning me over. It’s like one of those fancy tuxedo T-shirts with the sleeves cut off

Looks great, what is the weight and chambering?

This started as a Tikka T3x Stainless in 6.5 Creedmoor. Now it is .308 Win. Specs as below.

Alterra Arms stock
Bartlein #3 barrel cut to 16 inches chambered in .308 Win
Thunderbeast Ultra 7 can
Gunsmith work by Deep South Tactical

Got it out today and shoots Federal GMM under 1.5 inches without much effort for 10 shot groups. Looking forward to load work up once I get the barrel settled in.

Any idea what the weight is without the can & bipod?

Nope. I will try to weigh it tonight or tomorrow and let you know. It is not terribly lightweight (not a small barrel contour and scope is 22 oz) but balances and shoots great.

This ones finally turning on. 5 shot in a half inch I can handle.

Never want to shoot another hunting rifle unsupressed again. Now I don’t know what one I should take hunting.

That’s an awesome build. People will gawk at the weight but I think your right at the sweet spot. My next is getting a bartlein 3 at 18” in either 6br or 6 creed.

Weighed it tonight and with empty mag inserted and no can, it weighs in at 8 lbs 4.4 oz. That is with scope as well.

Thanks for that. Weighs about the same as 24" carbon barreled SAUM. I've been tossing around the idea of building a 18" barreled 6.5 saum to shoot 124gr hammers.

Interestingly, I've got some 151 grain Absolute Hammers on order to try out of this rifle with Ramshot TAC powder.

Gratuitous scenery shot from yesterday. First season hunting this rifle (.308 Win shooting 150 TTSX). I’m loving it. Full specs on pg. 59.

Carbon ambush gap

 

[CountryAsACoonDog]

Oh boy what do we have here?!

Got a new stock in for review of the inletting... it’s NICE and the lines flow super well with the tikka action profile. No more retrofitted R700 stocks....

I want this stock for a custom build but I haven’t seen them anywhere. Are they available?

You have to order it from AG composites. I got mine through Hells Canyon Armory

Here’s my elk gun- T3 in .300wm

What stock is that?

 

[silverbullet555]

Time to order my stock. 280ai barrel is inbound, rifle is in the sage.

Rifle will be for hunting the mountains.

I noticed many buy stocks without an adjustable comb, but a few do. Is it mostly a weight savings or are they unnecessary in a mountain rifle?

As a generalization, adjustable combs add more weight and cost than a cheap pad or homemade riser. Some new options buck that trend with lighter weights. They do look better if that matters.
