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

[Mike Islander]

For some unknown reason I only did finger tight with my level before seeing the video and checking the torque specs. Moving my level up to just in front of the rear base was enough for me, and having it on the left side was perfect since that's the side corrected with monovision. It also helped to have lots more light.View attachment 611905

That's my close monovision side too! Same side, same reason. I like it a bit further forward so that I'm looking downrange with both eyes.

I may still try that out in the next session. I’ve got plenty of other work to focus on though with my shooting

Are any of the aftermarket mags worth getting? For a .223 specifically. How about the ~6rd tikka mags?

Tikka stainless action, pva 3b 223 barrel @16", area 419 rail, NF standard duty rings, swfa 3-9, cgs hyperion, and a heavily modified compact stock. Captured here in her natural environment.

Yes. The Waters mag is very high quality and allows you to load long for the 223. Fitting the 75g and 80g eldm is no issue, and they provide a substantial boost in BC over the mag-length bullet options.

Nice! What’s the butt stock attachment on the top one?

 

[miller3483]

It’s just the Limbsaver pad that I “engineered” to fit like that. Just re drilled the holes so that the top the the recoil pad was in line with the bore axis.

Nice rifles!

How do you like the harvester evo?

Nice rifles!

Thanks. The price was right, especially for my first can. So far so good, but I really only have about a dozen rounds through it. Very little POI shift and seems to be repeatable when taking off and putting on, I’ll know more tomorrow though.

Go to blacktail rig. Teeker 6.5 speedmore, 6x MQ. Big Whopper banger old school weaver rings. Replaced now with standard warnes

Current situation.

It’s not an exact replica of the Rokslide special, but I’m leaning on this gun to become a utilitarian “do-all” gun for me. No frills, nothing fancy, just a solid and dependable setup that I’m not afraid to get dirty. I would like to upgrade the glass eventually, but it drives tacks on the range as is.

Does this count as an RSS? Or, does the cerakote receiver and artic bottom metal make it a semi-custom?

Am I the only one who mounted the screws opposite of bolt side on the new UM ring bases? Seemed to make the most sense to me for limiting any potential interference or issues with it being on the action side (not likely). Maybe I’m backwards as usual haha.

That’s how I did it as well

 

[roosiebull]

Have a level inbound, spartan adapter, and then I assume the rokstock will be the last thing I’ll do for awhile…

Level and spartan adapter showed up today, got the level torqued to 40 inch lbs and spartan adapter put on, now I just have to wait until Wednesday so I’m not shooting while people are trying to hunt elk. Have a bunch of ammo and another case ordered, looking forward to doing some shooting, and will have plenty of brass to start reloading for it pretty soon
