McMillan Hunters Edge.

This isn't another "Let's see your semi-custom tikka" thread. This is for mostly unaltered Tikkas in 223/6/6.5, wearing an SWFA. I think OP needs to remind folks what a rokslide special is, because it certainly isn't a magnum, long action, aftermarket barrel, aftermarket stock wearing a Leupold

Close. I'll call it a RS special, Bushy edition. 223, vertical grip + a little more plastic, LRTS 3-12 in sportsmatch rings. Henderson ARCA plate.

Simple mistake on my part. It's deleted now, hopefully the world can continue on unscathed

Got a link for that stuff?

Yeah, thanks. Going to edit main post with that as the definition for a rokslide special.

I do enjoy some semi-custom tikka's though
@Iketurner that's a nice rifle you've got, you didn't have to delete the post.

I don't have a current photo of my slightly sexier Swede, but here's the ought-six WKR spesh to tide you over.

All tikkas are long action

The mtn tactical bottom metal is nice but functionally, it didn’t do anything. Didn’t make the gun any more accurate or save any weight. I have a high desert bottom metal on my tikka 30-06, same thing. It looks/feels nice, I’d have been better off spending the money on ammo or gas for hunts.

Fully agree on not derailing this thread any further... but I also use the High Desert bottom metal. My favorite of all the aftermarket bottom metals. Having taken apart 5 Tikka T3X's and 6 Sako 85's with factory metal trigger guards; the torque on the screws holding the action to the stock are significantly greater on the metal Sako variants. Def a discussion for a different thread, but I was able to match the torque specs from the Sako rifles on my now plastic eliminated Tikka which made me feel warm and fuzzy.

Antares, is that a thread "adapter" for 5/8" threads?

Yes. More photos starting at post #2,563 in the .223 thread.

I like the vortex cover. Probably the best on the market because they know they've got to keep those suckers protected hahaha

LOL. They make a heck of a scope cover.

Beautiful rifle Antares, BTW can you provide a better picture of your honey hole map? I can't quite make it out. Thanks in advance

[BjornF16]

I'm seeing a couple of 5/8" adapters on the .223 muzzles...why 5/8"?

Do your cans only have fixed 5/8" threads?

I like the rifle but love that book collection. I see some Louis L'Amour in there, I've got the entire collection handed down to me from my grandpa. Great childhood memories. I'd borrow one, read it, we would discuss the next time I was over.
Can't like your picture enough.

I'm pretty sure your magazine is in backwards.
