The Raven: Unknown Munitions Tikka Clone action coming soon?

[Mik123]

New manufactured bodies, nitrided etc. He ships to the US.

I have one, no complaints.

I struggle every time I see the $350 price point for a bolt, but I guess those are the times....

350 in Canuckistan Dollars, that's like $10 US.

Dust cover is a great addition IMO. More mfg should be doing this.

Can't wait until we see the specs on the upcoming Tikka T4X. That will be the real comparison.

What if the T4x is a clone of The Raven

 

[Jon C]

Me too. A 22/6 arc tikka with mags that feed smoothly will be a MASSIVE seller.
As will a "factory" chambered 22 creed. It beggars relief that the mainstream companies haven't really adopted 22 creed. Not even ruger in their americans as far as I'm aware.

Ruger has 22 creed but might be scheels exclusive Weatherby 307 has it. I think Seekins has one.

Browning X-Bolt 2 as well

Somehow I don't think so. I think the Raven is going to come in higher even though they've been advertising it will be lower. They were already stating something like $1200....

I think he’s making a joke about the T4x having the same features as the Raven (since the latter is just an improvement upon the T3x). I don’t believe he’s commenting on price.

Also, they said on podcast $1200 — so that price now seems pretty locked in.

Pretty sure they said $999 on last years podcast. So I don’t think I’d lock anything in till you actually get one in hand.

Haven't seen any of these here in Australia as yet, we tend to get a very curated range of "new" stuff over here. And it tends to be at least a year or more later than the States if at all.

Does anyone have any concrete details about the T4X or is it just wishful thinking?

True. But that was last year when it was a pipe dream. Now they’re out for testing and rolling out in the next 3 months, so I’d assume it’s a more accurate estimate.

I just wanna know what the Snipers Hide guys think before I commit any of my cash towards one

@Procision Arms I have a couple questions regarding the reverse engineering of Tikka/Sako's GD&T and materials.

Without giving away too many secrets, how did you come up with your GD&T approach? I didn't really give this much thought until I heard the raven bolts are interchangeable with factory tikka actions. Clearly Sako isn't going to let you take a peek at their prints. I have a couple ideas how I would have done it, but I am interested to see how a professional organization did it.

Did you guys exactly replicate chemical composition, hardness, and grain structure to a tikka action or did you take it in a different direction? I know I have struggled with slight alloy differences between what is available in EU vs NA, and it can be a real headache.

A lot of projects in a lot of industries start off well intentioned, but never actually get carried through to the finish line.

Whoever is at UM that is the “get it done” guy, you’re the real MVP.

Rokstok, OG, OG65, Rokstok Lite, Raven, S2H Scope, etc. not long ago these were just good ideas, and now they are real products. I’m impressed. In a world where a lot of talented teams with talented people can’t get out of their own way, you guys are making it happen.

Lots of threads voicing criticism and (helpful?) critiques. Just felt the need to call out honest praise.
