Tikka Semi-Custom Build

[Red34]

I am assembling all the pieces for a semi-custom Tikka T3 300WSM build. The plan is a carbon/carbon built for mountain hunting hiking/stalking.

It started life as an early model T3 Hunter
CarbonSix pre-fit 22" carbon 1:11twist (I already have a ton of 150-180gr ammo)
Stockys Carbon VG
Triggertech Special
Vortex Razor HD LHT 4.5-22

My question is about the action. Is there any reason NOT to use my T3 action? Is there any benefit to the T3X, CTR, Tactical actions?

Also, if I want to re-use this stock with another Tikka build in a smaller caliber, am I correct that any Tikka T3/T3X long or short action fits these stocks? You don't have to go with the same length like you would a Rem700 stock right?

Thanks

Your T3 will work just fine and yes that stock will fit the new T3x. Only one action size and T3/T3x are interchangeable…

Thank you

If you haven’t already made the change, you might swap the aluminum recoil lug for a steel one.
