what to do with my 30-06 Tikka

[Maverick1]

Twenty replies and not one joker in the bunch has said something like “I’ll take it off your hands!” - - - so, filling the hole, I’ll be that guy. I’ll even let you cover the shipping costs to my FFL!!! LOL.

Good luck with your project, whatever it turns out to be!

If you were a reloader I would say 280AI. But since your not I would vote for a 6mm CM

I would keep it as a back up and not spend any money on it. If you don't really want it or are excited about it then I would keep trying to sell it. I have too many rifles that overlap and wish that I had spent more money on just couple really top shelf rifles and optics. I have several rifles that fit that bill but I have a lot of good but not great iron and optics in the safe. I would like to have the money spent on those for other top of the line equipment. Things I really am excited to own and use. I should follow my own advise……

Yep and I still can't resist if I run across a deal on something I already have a stack of.

I spent half the money I’ve earned on Hunting and Fishing. I wasted and squandered the other half…….

When 3 large spare bedrooms only have beds and industrial sized racks for ammo...

I had my -06 Tikka rebored to 338-06, and if you reloaded it would be a fun change. If it were me and I didn't reload, I'd probably be thinking 6cm.

Have a 30-06 blued only 40ish rounds that I can't sell on consignment as I've dropped the price and thinking of just keeping it and making it a backup rifle. I'm in Hawaii so fees+shipping make online not really worth it. Thinking of making it something like a heritage edition and put it in a wood stock with a 6x or 10x swfa or rebarrel to something different. I also have 223, 6.5cm, and 7 rem mag tikkas and beater 3006 savage so pretty much have everything covered. also limited by factory ammo.

Is there any plug and play stocks on a budget that fit a long action tikka t3x lite? I would prefer something wood. The OEM wood ones are going for 300plus and I'd rather spend that much, or deal with with bedding. I like the airtech pads so bonus if it can be directly swapped for those.

Can a t3x lite 30-06 be rebarreled into any cartridge that's more fun to shoot for someone that only shoots factory ammo? 300 PRC seems to be gaining popularity but i think needs a magnum bolt face? I still have some good 3006 ammo so don;t think I would seriously do this but curious if I have missed something.

Can't run 300 prc in a Tikka action. The action is not long enough. Plus you'd need a magnum bolt. Idk if you can even find a magnum bolt. They usually sell for $400 so almost as much as a rifle. You can rebarrel the 30-06 to anything that fits a standard bolt.

A .30-06 shooting 130 TTSX is a laser beam!!! Not much else is needed.
