Did you get this worked out? Curious to hear what was required to get the reliability others talk about.I guess I got the Friday afternoon nitride crew on mine. I'll never pay money for ruining an OEM Tikka action again...

I'm not sure I'm following the reliability comment. I've only been able to get about 150 rounds downrange on this rifle before spinning the barrel off and sending it back to UM. No reliability issues noted on my end.Did you get this worked out? Curious to hear what was required to get the reliability others talk about.
I’m trying to learn what troubleshooting might be required if I get mine nitrided. Did you try the olive/avocado oil like Form mentioned?I'm not sure I'm following the reliability comment.

It's simply just not as smooth as my half-dozen other Stainless/Blued/Ember-fluted actions. Completely functional, just feels more like a Savage action now![]()

Where at in Houston?Got my stainless action done by a local shop down in Houston. As smooth or smoother than pre nitride.

Good to know. I'm going to look them up. Local is more appealing than shipping it off.Nitretex

I’ve fingered hundreds of the nitrided actions, I won’t lighten another one but I would definitely have them nitrided.
Because cutting away metal from a bomb proof action, that is already light as it is, is a minimal gain with potential for long term issues.Why would you not lighten one?

In relation to that, I think the Raven should have been designed with an AR-style dust cover for the action port. That would be absolutely dope!The Tikka action was built to run in all weather conditions. Cutting the bridge off makes it more susceptible to failure in wet, snowy, or dusty conditions.

I've thought about that as well. It is amazing how much crap it keeps out of the receiver.In relation to that, I think the Raven should have been designed with an AR-style dust cover for the action port. That would be absolutely dope!
