tikka

Hello everyone. I need some help with my first precition 308 rounds. I'm new to the forum as well as reloading, so any help will be much appreciated. Although this are my first rounds, I've always been interested in reloading and I've been reading a lot lately but there's still a lot to learn...

Typically we get one elk and one deer tag up here in Montana, and after shooting a young white-tail buck last night I'm done for the season with 18 hunting days still to go! I usually go down to Belt near Great Falls to hunt mule deer and elk, but unless some other tags are available I won't be...

The point of this thread is to remind myself and others that the devil can be in the details. It can be very frustrating when you can't hit a target at "long range" particularly if you don't know why. There are so many variables and when things don't go right we can start questioning...

A friend has had a Tikka TAC NS .300 Win Mag on Gunbroker for a few weeks with plenty of interest but no bids. I was at his house yesterday and decided that I should buy it. He bought the rifle new and only shot one 20 round box when he first bought it, and since he's not a reloader decided...

Hi all, new to the forum but have read many threads here before and have gained some great insite/helpful knowledge. I am a shooter/reloader with a little over 3 years experience, so still a newbie/amateur. I have really enjoyed getting into long range shooting and have been able to shoot out to...

Hey guys, I’m working on this tikka build in 280 ackley, it still needs a new barrel. I picked up this bell and Carlson stock at a good price, but I don’t like the rubberized paint texture. I’d like to refinish it with textured epoxy on the pistol grip and forend like a McMillan a4. Other than...

Hello the camp! I took a new rifle out yesterday for the first time. Here's a pic of the first ten shots from this rifle (a Tikka T3 Sporter, cal. 6.5x55mm aka 6.5 Swedish). I'm pretty happy but would be happier still if I had a bipod for this rifle. Trouble is I don't know what will fit...

I am looking to buy my first hunting rifle and have decided I would like a Tikka. The "Lite" models intimidate me a bit because of the potential recoil factor. I live in AL, so would likely be hunting deer or headed to GA to hunt hogs. I liked the look of the T3X Hunter and it's a little...

So I've been doing lots of research on both Ruger and Savage. The RPR seems like a fantastic value, but I was wondering if a savage 11 in a chassis could ever compete with it? Part of me wants to build on to a rifle, so I'm leaning toward the $550 savage and getting parts as I go. I mostly would...

Installed a Vortex Viper PST 2.5-10x on my Tikka T3 using a DNZ one-piece. Sadly, the scope is low enough that the brass binds on the windage knob. I have an adjustable height cheek piece so I was probably going to put it a bit higher with a picatinny rail and 30mm rings. Question, which Pic...

I'm considering getting a Bell and Carlson Medalist stock on my T3 300WM. I like this rifle as is. With my hand loads it shoots sub MOA regularly. Once in a great while though, it sends one of those unexplainable flyers. I think having an aluminum bedding block and a truly free floated barrel...
