Let's See Your Semi-Custom Tikka Builds

[TheViking]

im not sure I have ever owned another rifle that was as “point and shoot” as this 6 Creed. @TheViking you sold a damn good one…

820 yards with the 115 DTACs. 11”x20” IPSC, 10 in a row with the Creed.

The 22-250 is also shooting really damn good with 88s…

Groups at 205 yards. Might keep messing with the 55s but likely not. Fun to see some velocity though.

Definitely a damn good rifle! Glad someone is getting good use out of it!

what’s your total weight?

I'm sitting right about 8.25 with a loaded 3 round mag.

Here's my latest Uber fancy bubba custom.

Started as a stainless lite long action
- $100 SS 223 factory takeoff, cut and threaded at 16"
- T3 223 "black" bolt I traded with a guy on here for (not sure what the black coating is but it's slick for sure)
- scythe suppressor
- carbon felt and coban cover
- swfa 3-9x
- Sportsmatch t084
- pink nail polish
- factory stock hogged out for a pet cemetery
- vertical grip
- shitty UL 1" webbing sling

It shoots very well and handles like a dream

Why pink nail polish. I've seen this before but don't know thee why.

Paint pen or nail polish is the thread locker of choice for rokslide. Paint on the screw heads to indicate if screw has backed out or moved

nice!


Good looking setup.

Dang, I wanted to post a video of the creed but that doesn’t appear to be an option.

What barrel contour is the barrel and length? I looked at a previous post that it was a PBB barrel. And was it a prefit or done at a smith?

22” hybrid lite, it’ll be cut to 18” soon. No idea if it was a prefit or was cut by a gunsmith.

I robbed my AG off this rifle for my 22-250 and robbed the 2.5-10NXS for my wife’s rifle, so it’s now been dubbed the poverty precision. Still shoots like an absolute dirty bastard.

I’d say I was at or slightly below 50% hit ratio off of these sticks, at 600 yards, holding right under a mil of wind. This is some damn good practice for me.

Just got it back today. Tikka T3X re-barreled to 6.5 PRC with an IBI Mountain Lite barrel (IBI is local to me). Bead blasted and fluted bolt. The olive drab vertical grip and wide fore end came with the donor, not sure if it will stay. May try a Rokstock when they get back in stock.

What stock inlet did you order?

 

[Britney]

I like it. Us lefties have very few choices when it comes to firearms.

Yes hard to get a LH T3X but UM has a waiting list for the bulk order.

What ranges work well for the SWFA 3? I just got the 10-42. Really wanted the 6 but just can’t find any.

The swfa 3-9x? I've shot to 850 (with a different gun) without issue.

What BC was lining up with your drops when you were shooting that 6cm and the 115 DTACs? I had seen they were advertising it at .6 G1. I'm thinking about trying them first when I get my 6cm put together.

.600 on shooter has been dead nuts to 820, but that’s as far as I’ve shot it. I’d wanna shoot it past a thousand to confirm or deny that being accurate.

6.5 cm chopped to 20 in and braked. Rokstock. T084s and 2.5-10 SHV

Paint pen or nail polish is the thread locker of choice for rokslide. Paint on the screw heads to indicate if screw has backed out or moved

So...Is the paint pen/nail polish actually used on the threads (instead of using Loctite), or only used on the heads to indicate movement?
