Lightweight Custom Action Options (6mm CM, HNT26 build)

[UnckleBob]

Technically yes they have a dove tail. You get 2 choices, one of which has been tough to get lately I believe(sportsmatch). Plus they are imported from EU correct? The UM rings are the only logical(to me) option I'd consider(and I have them). I used A419 Tikka Pic rails on 5 tikkas with zero problems as well. They were epoxied on and loctite the screws.

@denverangler725 When I had my Tikka 6.5PRC, I had some Burris rings that mounted on the dovetail and used a pin to ensure the front scope based never moved. They worked for me.

Another option would be to get direct mount rings. Talley and other companies provide a few options. You just need to decide how much you want to pay and decide whether to prioritize weight vs ruggedness.

I actually already use the Unknown Munitions tikka rings that fit directly on the dovetail on my stock tikka. Work great. If I decide to build this 6CM using my tikka action, ill probably just stick with them!

I think most of these actions will work.

Pick one then focus on the most important.

The barrel and who’s cutting it.

That’s what makes the difference between a mediocre rifle and a hammer.

Who do you use? If you don't mind sharing.

Bartlein, Krieger, ace, there’s more but that’s who I have used for blanks. Proof, PVA I have used as well but I put them a hair below the first group ime.

For a gunsmith somewhere small enough that one guy who is detail oriented is doing all the work. Lately I have been sending blanks to fisher t&c.

Iv used a bunch of others but I have found the above usually leads to the most accurate and trouble free shooting. Prefit or send your action that dosnt matter to me as much as the smith doing the work.

The UM rings seem like an excellent product, but I went for the Burris because they were a tad lighter and used the dovetail/pin as well.

I really am looking forward to seeing your build when it comes together.
