Unknown tikka action mod issues…

Oh that's good to know. One thing that came to mind is if you're starting off as a T3 you'll actually see a little more weight savings in the action that the T3x. You digging the nitride?

I'm on the fence of sending mine in and if so whether to get nitride or elite. I'd really like an answer about that extra blind hole for the sports match rings (that would sure be nice and avoid headaches later).

Yeah the nitride is nice for sure!

That is my target weight. What scope?

It’s a lightened tikka action. Game warden 2.0 factory bottom “ metal “, factory superlite 22” fluted barrel. Um rings, 3x18x44mm vx6

Sounds like a dandy setup! What bullet(s) are you planning to shoot?

I run 150gr eldx in it. Have had good luck it has killed a bunch of deer, handful of elk, and a couple bears now

Nice! Is the factory twist 1:9.5"?

Yes it runs up to 162 eldx plenty accurate.

If you have any short scope issues you might be worried about, you can request the ejection port not be touched but all the other machine work be done.

any estimate on how much weight that would take off? Just the bolt and the action pockets? guessing most of the weight comes from the metal lost from the ejection port.
