Tikka "Rokslide Special", let's see 'em

[Fishermen0105]

I'm pretty sure your magazine is in backwards.

No, just not pushed in all the way.

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?

All my muzzle devices are 5/8-24.

Seekins rings but 223 t3x with a 3-9 swfa in stockys stock.

Good thing. You wouldn't wanna shoot yourself in the shoulder.

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.

LOL. I noticed the books as well. Those Africa books have my interest.

I think I’ve read all the Louis L’Amour books now and some I’ve read over and over. Good way to spend a rainy day.

My variation. Call it the RSS Thumper edition. Still a short action cartridge.

Really like it! Ugly but functional. Got it after dislocating my shoulder.

Edit: I think I’ll get a new barrel and thread it for an Alaskan 360.

 

[pirogue]

In .243

 

[Colby]

Pretty shitty pic but 6.5cm/3x9 swfa/ t084’s/ bravo.
Going to have a 20” 6cm barrel and my JK can on it here real soon.

 

[dirtyredvmax]

Looking to get my first tikka soon but probably in 308. People on here seem to not get enough of them, especially for the price.

 

[eLightfoot]

Not the typical RS special but kinda. 7.5t Preferred Barrels prefit 22creed garage install. Sportsmatch t084. DIY modified Boyd’s stock. Nikon Monarch that I got on super close out price from Natchez with usable moa reticle.

 

[pirogue]

3 pages and only 1 kill pic? Y’all just buy em to look at?

I don't know if I can call it a "Rokslide Special" with a Leupold dialer on there, but here's mine next to my Kimber Hunter .308.
Tikka T3X Lite .223: barrel chopped to 18.5" (hacksaw), 3/8" chopped from the butt stock (miter saw).

I modified both of these guns to make them shorter and lighter. I definitely wouldn't have started sawing off pieces of brand new rifles without a little inspiration from folks on here. I also got the idea of a .223 trainer rifle from this site.

LOL.

Can you share the stock shortening mod pics or instructions?

 

[robtattoo]

Imma need an essplanation for that.....

There's really not a lot to share. I removed the recoil pad and the plastic spacer behind it, taped the stock with masking tape, set the miter saw to match the factory angle of the stock, send a little prayer, and cut it off. I left the plastic spacer out and put the recoil pad back on. The recoil pad isn't perfectly flush with the butt now, but it's so close that it doesn't bother me. If you cut more off your stock then you might need a new pad to fit better.

Two 6.5 cm and one 6.5 prc tikka. Sold the green Tikka.

6.5 cm lite blued






Tikka t3x super lite green 6.5 cm (sold)




Tikka 6.5 prc veil. Antelope taken at 40yds!

I enjoy these Tikka's. I'll keep asking manners to see when an adjustable stock is coming for these actions!
