Let's See Your Semi-Custom Tikka Builds

[tall]

Slowly working my way towards the semi-custom Tikka of my dreams. I got a nice walnut stock to replace the plastic one until my wooden Rokstok lite is ready.

Tikka T3 stainless, .1:10” twist .223, cut to 16.1”
Steel lug
Metal bolt shroud
PR Precision stainless steel bottom metal
SWFA 6x gen2
AB Raptor 10 w/5” reflex

I have a similar dream. That is beautiful

Have killed several bucks with this rifle and it is also the most accurate and best feeding rifle I’ve ever owned. 30-06 stainless T3x. I had it bedded by Tumbleweeds Custom Guns in a Stocky Hunter stock. I didn’t love the fit direct from Stocky’s and as you can see Mark’s bedding is impeccable. Also first go with UM rings. I can’t imagine I’d go back to anything else.

What barrel length is this one? Photo is cutoff.

Its a 22, still might chop it for a can at some point

Tikka guys, explain it to me simply please. If I have a tikka factory take off barrel, can I put that barrel on a different tikka action without doing anything besides torqueing it down and checking headspace?

Pretty much. Threads likely won't time. But headspace will likely be good, be sure to check it for safety purposes though.

“Build” is a stretch, but here’s mine: set up for backcountry deer in the big, thick woods of the northeast.
T3x lite, with 20” chopped barrel, high desert bottom metal, hand painted stockys carbon stock, Leupold 2.5-8x scope. 7mm-08. I shoot 140 grain e-tips over a stout charge of Big Game. 6.85 pounds with scope.

What did you paint your stock with, looks really good!

What did you paint your stock with, looks really good!

Thanks! Self-etching primer, then Rustoleum textured spraypaint, then Brownells Alumahyde II clear. I like the way it looks and feels. We'll test out the durability this season, but I'm hopeful, based on how it feels.

Dang i like that.

Dang i like that.

Thanks! Me too! Between that one and its 6.5 CM partner, the rest of my gun safe is going to get seriously purged. They’ve effectively obsoleted a number of other rifles.

Nothing special. My .223 Tikka got cut, metal bottom, etc. This .243 is a shooter as is. I'm pushing my 108s at 2900 fps with good accuracy. 1.2" 10 shot groups. Stockies VG carbon painted with light coat of sandy paint over black. It's grippy all over. Plan to shoot it at an Antelope in Montana soon. Topped with a 6x SWFA.

Love these Tikkas.
