Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing Skim bedding a Tikka T3

So I did my first full skim bedding on a Tikka T3. Never had to do one before but my customer was not happy enough with the rifle.

The rifle is a Tikka T3 hunter in 308. The rifle was shooting at 1" to 1.25" and thats the best it would do. After talking it over we decided to full skim bed the rifle first and go from there.

After bedding the rifle and letting it fully cure, I shot it again for him and it made all the difference in the world. Groups are now an easy 4 shot 3/8" all day long.

Like I said, I've never had to bed a tikka before but if you get a weird one in the bunch this should fix it.
