Let's See Your Semi-Custom Tikka Builds

[Castmaster]

Have any of you ever used the mountain tactical rail? I’d prefer it to be a 0 moa.

SRS Tikka T3x 20 moa scope rail

Hey guys, not on here much as of late but with working on the Rokstock I added Rokslide to my computer and will make a point of being on here more often. I'd like to introduce the first in what will develop into a large line of picatinny scope rails. This is the Tikka T3x 20 MOA scope rail...

rokslide.com

I just looked that rail up and even though I’d prefer a 0moa the SRS rail looks like great quality and super low profile. Thank’s for the recommendation I think that will probably be the rail I buy.

Yes, edges are sharper than the Area 419 and just doesn't feel as nicely made.

I didn't even bother mounting mine, just sold it and moved on.

The A419 is also held solidly by the pin with no slop back and forth. The rail is locked in, in the direction of recoil by just the pin.

The MT has a little slop before being screwed in.

Imo the a419 and factory CTR rail are the best options.

I spent big bucks on a Murphy and it has some give even with all the pins in place.

 

[Castmaster]

Is the recoil pin super necessary? Also can you mount a CTR rail on a standard T3x?

 

[Castmaster]

Has anyone tried the Sphur rail? They offer a 0 and 20 moa rail with a recoil pin.

I wouldn’t buy one without a recoil pin.

I would try to find a used ctr rail if you want low and 0moa. They use all the screws and have 2 steel pins. I’m sure someone has one they want to get rid of

I have a Warne weaver style base without a recoil pin on my t3x 270 win and that rifle shoots lights out. Is the recoil pin just extra insurance?

Have you seen this thread?: https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/bonding-a-picatinny-rail-to-an-action.318206/

Might answer some of the broader questinons you have.

 

[Macintosh]

Ctr rail fits on a regular t3x action. Its a nice rail, very low profile. Cant remember who but someone recently was trying to get rid of one, ought to be reasonably priced too.

It depends on use and your tolerance for potential failure.

Think about it this way- if two products are nearly identical and do the same thing, to about the same cost, but one or more reliable or more durable- why would ever choose the one that worse?

It’s the same here. The SRS rail is extremely low profile, machined correctly, and has a tight recoil pin.

I 100% agree with you. It sounds like you can’t go wrong with the SRS or the Area 419 but I’ll probably go with the SRS just because it looks lower profile.

The two rails I mentioned as what I would buy are literally so tight that they are a press fit in to get on the receiver. I don’t know why you wouldn’t want the insurance of pins in this instance.

Hmmm ... a year ago, I would have ordered several.

Now, with the Rokstok, the Echo feels like a day late and a dollar short.

Glad to see it exists though - a better option than some others that have appeared lately.

Seems I can’t stop building these easy button Tikka hunting rifles. Thanks @MuleyFever for the awesome barreled action!

Loading up some 175 ELDX’s and will report back in the cold bore challenge if I get time. If it shoots like my other 5 semi custom Tikkas it’s going to be a fun one!

Which stock is that

 

[lelliott8]

Which stock is that

Factory tikka 223Rem 8twist
Stockys Ultra Carbon Hunter VG
Mountain tactical bm
Q Carbo trigger spring
TB ultra 5

I have waters magazines that allow for 2.6” Coal, 500 80gr eldms, and varget to get started.

Right now to break in the barrel I’ve just been running cheap factory frontier 75gr bthp at 2660fps. Shot a few 10shot groups at 750 yards yesterday in a 10mph crosswind, they were 2-3moa. Although hoping to push the 80s around 2600fps. That will still keep me supersonic to 1000yards at 1000’ elevation.

 

[Elite]

Yes sir it is. Add a grippy clear coat which is why it looks so shiny.

Did stockys change there name? I noticed on your original post it was a different brand ?
