Tikka T3x "Ranahan" Review

[Thinkingman]

Yes, a ton of it. The Frontier loads shoot very well in my 16.1” Tikka, consistently giving excellent accuracy and 100 FPS more velocity than the box.

I took my Ranahan out for a brief range session.
Any help getting the front site off would be appreciated.
Groups with AAC 2550fps 77gr were excellent.

Drift out the front sight blade and you’ll find a second screw underneath it. Remove that and the front sight comes off.

My T3X Ranahan in .350 legend just showed up from Euro Optic. Really pleased with the fit and finish of the gun. I ordered the Tikka vertical grip as well for better hand position.

Glass wise I've got a VX-Freedom 3-9x40 CDS that I'm mounting with Medium Height Leupold Back Country Rings straight to the receiver. Almost went with Sportsmatch though.

Really tempted to hunt the factory sights one season, they're superb.

This thread has been really helpful, Cheers!

If you want an easy step up from the factory irons, the receiver can be tapped for a Win 94 or Marlin 1894 receiver sight that works well with the front sight post. I did mine on a harbor freight drill press in the garage.

Really like the adjustability of the 94, ill look into it.
Thanks!
