Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Tikka is ceasing the T3 line in 2016?

Not to be argumentative, a serious ?

What do people do or how do they treat their rifles to break the 'bolt shroud', EVEN on a T 3?


I bought this one in 2003 before our Deer Season, so I've been hunting it for 12 yrs and about to start its 13th. In 2013 I took the hardest FALL I've had in many yrs. I 'thudded' when I hit the ground and the T 3 hit the ground on its left side. NOTHING broke.

I really don't understand HOW people break the bolt shroud.
