Let's See Your Semi-Custom Tikka Builds

[NSI]

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?

Both.

My first time putting a rifle together after many years of buying custom or barreled actions. Got a used 300wsm T3X action, a lightly used 20" 6.5PRC PBB prefit, KRG Echo on black friday, trigger spring, Area419 20moa rail and an HCA tikka mag. 9lbs 9oz with suppressor attached. Going to go shoot it today.

Interested to hear your thoughts on this rifle after you get some time on it compared to your experience with custom rifles.

You didn't waste any time getting that barrel spun on. Looks great!

I was like a little kid on Christmas yesterday when it showed up lol.

Put some Berger 156 factory ammo through it today, shoots good!

Sweet build. Where'd you get the 6CM barrel on this? And looks like a nice matching threaded adapter at end or just optical illusion of a slight flare?

Good eye. That's an 18" ACE barrel chambered in 6CM by Kampfeld. It's a Tikka sporter contour, flared to .750 at the muzzle and threaded 5/8-24. Yes, that's a nicely blended thread protector.

 

[McD18]

Did you order direct from Ace?

Did you order direct from Ace?

Yes, and had ACE ship directly to Kampfeld.
