Let's See Your Semi-Custom Tikka Builds

[Libtard McSocalist]

What slug(s) and kind of MVs are you seeing?

It really likes 109 bergers @ 2960 with varget. Single digit ES over 21 shots the other day.

It likes 110 sierras about 2910 with h4350 but not as much as the bergers it seems. Either load is plenty good enough for PRS.

6.5 PRC Stainless lite in a bare carbon rokstok. PR precision winter trigger guard in aluminum. Medium UM tikka rings and a Meopta Meosport R.

Caught the tikka build bug after my last, had to start on another.

6.5 PRC Roughtech
Trijicon Credo 2.5-15x
Stockys Hunter VG - @Tanner did the grip build up / texturing work + paint job and knocked it out of the park

Oregon Mountain Rifle bolt handle / bolt shroud

Next up: barrel is getting chopped to 20” and will get a can. Will likely throw some OMR bottom metal on as well.

Glad to hear you like it! Looks like a super capable rifle.

the project left hand 9.3x62 tikka t3x is alive:

boyds laminate stock
remington 700 open sights
barrel switched from a tikka t3x righ hand
PR precision Tikka t3/t3x winter trigger guard

and all put together by Paul of PR precision.

​

Nice rifle!

not exactly a tikka but close. Sako 75 SM action and trigger, Krieger 1:8.5 #5 26” chambered in 7wsm long throat, McMillan heavy fill GAP camo, NXS 5.5-22x50. Elk and Mule deer have been highly allergic to the 175 Elite Hunters @ 3030 FPS. Legit half moa every day rifle often way under a half.

Tikka action with an 18” PBB 6cm barrel from LS wild - Awesome experience with them btw
Stockys VG Hunter stock and a modified grip and a custom paint job

The group shown is a 10 shot group with 103 eldx before I bedded it. I’m going to do another group after bedding and compare.

Finally got my first tikka.

T3 7 rem mag
Barrel cut to 22" and threaded
KRG Echo
Talley ultralight with an arken epl4
175 fusions chronoed on the garmin at 2743 average for 10 shots.

I already bought up a standard bolt body and I will eventually be picking up a 6 creed barrel.

Question for you guys - has anyone had their Tikka bolt fluted or cerakoted and did it change the slickness or feel/operation of the action at all? Thank you!

Don’t do it. Unless you’re dead set on the look- fluting just introduces more junk. Cerakote has shown some impacts on function

bought a 7rm tikka t3x lite to harvest the action. bought a carbon six 24" barrel in 7 PRC and dropped it in a Pure Precision Altitude stock. i've done roughly the same thing (proof prefit barrels) with 300wsm, 6.5 creedmoor and 6.5 prc. pretty easy and simple conversion other than getting those damned barrels off! actually for two of these builds i just bought the unbarreled receivers.

Is there a big difference in felt recoil between the 6.5 creed and 6.5 prc
