Just posted a thread for Christiansen arms rifle as an option but I want some thoughts on this. Does anyone ever do a custom build on a Tikka? I have been doing some reading on these rifles. There are relatively inexpensive and it seems like you get a lot for your money. I also went to Sportsmens to check them out and man do they have a smooth action. I was thinking at a $600 starting price point and a great action and trigger it seems like a guy could get a lot for $2000 build.

Ive shot so many sub 2" 500 yd groups with a stock tikka I've lost count. Mount a scope and go hunt

There have been some builds on LRHunting website -they don't do any machining on the action from what I remember , appears the machining was done right the first time .

I shoot all my Tikkas to 700-800 yards with factory barrels.

Not sure how long you are discussing...

I'd love to hear the details on the sweet Tikka "shooting system(s)" capable of those sub-1/2 MOA 500 yard groups....

If all you need is an action, check with SAS. He's clearing out the old T3 models. $350-$400 for CMand $450 for SS.

Tikkas has relatively short mags in stock format. Eric over at ES tactical does a lot of Tikka builds. He has a nice offer if you like chassis. You supply the action and he supplies KRG chassis, labor and parts for $1450.

It can't be that hard to count to zero, even for you...

Would counting to zero even be considered counting?

Can I get a ruling Mathman?

Tikka 6.5X55 swede
SWFA fixed 6 MQ
Warn Steel 30mm rings
Lapua brass
Hornady 143 eld-x
47 gr. Reloader 17
CCI 200 primer

Ammo loaded to less than .001 run out
COAL 3.182
.005 off the lands

I'm thinking GregW has likely seen some of what I'm talking about


Good luck

Too many sub 2" groups to count at 500.... with a 6x scope... on a sporter weight gun.... it's getting deep.

What's the first rule of holes?

If you really think a fixed 6 won't perform at the 500 yd line then you don't know what you think you don't know! I'm not even close to the first person to do this with a "sporter weight" rifle.


The rifle, scope, brass, bullet, etc combination will do it "IF" the shooter is capable.

The new hornady bullets IMO are some of the most accurate bullets I've ever used

I'm impressed! Apparently your not! Good for you!
