There is a Tikka M695 available locally for a pretty low price. I think I can get it out the door for around $350. It's in 300 Win Mag, and I don't have any use for the caliber. The only reason I'm considering it is because it is a lefty.
Is anybody familiar with this action and what is available for barrels? Is this thing even worth rebarreling? It looks like mags are expensive and hard to find as well.

They can use Tikka T3 barrels.

That's good to know. I was reading somewhere that they took a slightly different barrel. Thank you!


They are slightly different, but close enough that a T3 barrel can be fitted to them.

I had a M695 rebarreled to a 280AI but had a smith chamber it vs prefit. The mags allow a longer length so it works better with that cartridge than a T3 would.

They’re a bit heavier.

I didn’t know they made those in left and had them in the states. If you hate it (and I hope you do) I’ll take it off your hands.

Edit- I just looked it up and I was mistaking it for the master sporter
