[quote=varmintsinc]I was goofing around in the shop of a well known west coast tactical rifle guy when we started discussing tikkas and why they shoot so well out of the box. I volunteered my t-3 .270 as a data point and he tore it down. When all was said and done there was nothing to square or true up on the chamber cut, receiver face or anything else. He said it would be worthless to do anything other than what the factory did regarding the action itself.
My gunsmith said exactly the same thing but what would he know he only machines parts for NASA.
Just as a comparison to get a Rem 700 action trued by a gunsmith is a minimum of $600.
When building a custom the tikka offers a lot of value right out of the gate.
