Let's See Your Semi-Custom Tikka Builds

[TheTone]

Such a great/terrible thread for me as a new tikka owner. I bought it with the intention of adding some custom features over time but this is an paralysis by analysis thread

Did some testing today for poi shift from the flush end cap versus the 5" reflex of my ab raptor 10. To my surprise I didn't observe any noticeable shift. The gun was zeroed with the flush end cap, today's zero check was in the 5" reflex (Big Black Can mode). In bbc mode it's 8lbs 8oz.

New bottom metal
Ziess victory

T3 6.5 x55 Swede that was my father and grandfather’s. It was due for an upgrade with the original stock and scope having issues. Cut to 19” and threaded. Banish backcountry can, RS1.2, and MDT HNT 26. The trigger spring replacement really makes a difference.

I haven't tried with and without reflex on mine. I hope I end up with the same poi.

I've been watching this thread for a while . Some good looking rifles in here.
I figured it's time to post mine.

Tikka T3 300 WSM
Manners stock
22" 1:10 McGowan fluted barrel with brake. Chamber cut by my gunsmith.
Can't remember what I did to the trigger but it crisp and lite.
Changed out the SA bolt catch for a LA catch and run 300 WM mags. Helps with the loads.
Leupold VX-6HD 3-18x50 TMOA

Have 2 loads worked up for it. 166 HH and 150 TTSX. The TTSX load shoots just as good as the 166 HH.

I have a Tikka T3 not the the T3x. Would you guys consider the smaller ejection port a big enough downside to not customize it? If you don’t have boat loads of cash and can only really customize one gun a decade, would you guys only rebuild a T3x or are the differences in the T3 negligible?
Sorry if this has already been addressed in the sea of 132 pages?

I have no complaints. The trigger reach is long. But it's worked pretty well.

Idk if this will help you because I have never owned a T3, I do know that all parts are compatible between T3 and T3x. If you ever want to you could always move everything over to a T3x later. I personally do not do a lot of single feeding and I'm not sure the T3x has any major advantages, I could be wrong. I'd say build away.

Great looking and shooting rifle. How do 300 WSM cartridges feed in the 300 WM magazine? Any modifications necessary?

does not work in the 300 wm magazine, either need oem 300 wsm (short mag box) or Mountain Tactical, hells canyon or DIY solution.

Zero mods to the mag.
With the factory magazine I’ve had zero issues. With a aftermarket magazine I had occasional feeding problems.

How are you doing that? I tried the 300 wm magazine and it jams everytime... seriously every single time. Also loading it is a pain as well the spring gets funy and kick up in the back.

284 win. PBB .750 taperless 22" barrel. Stocky's carbon VG. Sportsmatch T084. Trijicon credo 2.5-15x42. Will be getting a SRS trinity rail before to long

I went from 7 rem mag t3 to 6.5 prc with no issues.

I don’t know what I’m doing that’s special to get it to work. I’ll look at the mag closer when I get a chance and see if anything stands out about it.
