Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Tricked out Tikkas!

Thanks, Joe! I'm amazed at how well this factory rifle shoots! It's incredible for the price. I'm bringing it to WY and would love to try the 85 gr tsx handloads out. Who knows, maybe I can beat a quarter inch. lol.

There are a lot of customs that don't shoot that good.

my step father was at my house the other day and was checking out an M700 of mine. He is not a gun guy but noted how smooth the action felt. I then handed him a tikka and he was amazed at the difference.

Yesterday I ordered a B&C stock olive with black web from Stockys. Just place an order with Hinterland for the aluminum bolt shroud. Gonna call Kampfeld tomorrow about fluting the bolt.

Wicked combination, Foreman. You'll have to post some pics when it's all up and done!

Posted these previously, but here you go for the thread.



M695 rebarrelled in 275Rigby





M595 in .260

Tikka260, Now those are two classy rifles!!

Tikka260 those are sweet!

My T3 in 6.5 Creedmoor.

I think I asked before, but how long is that barrel? Standard A3 stock? Factory bottom metal?

While not really tricked out, here is my LH T3 in 270 wsm. The stock is an MPI that I finished. I also had a stainless steel recoil lug made that I permanently attached to the stock using devcon titanium. The factory aluminum lug was already getting dinged up. This is my poor mans Rifles INC Strata! It weighs right at 7 lbs

Here is a Tikka T3 Lite in the rare 6.5x55 SE caliber. I bought it from Setterman here recently. The barrel was blasted with aluminum oxide to provide a nice matte finish. The stock was cerakoted olive drab with black webbing. For optics I'm using DNZ game reaper mounts (Medium) with a Swaro Z6i 2-12x50 TDS.

I took the rifle to the range today shooting 120 gr BTs, TSX, TTSX, and 140 gr NPs, ABs, Amax, and Fusions. I'd hunt with any of these rounds but the 120 BTs really hammered. This group was shot while a Bubba was rapid firing his .308 win next to me.

Kampfeld helped this one along!! Still thinking about a Micky of some sort or trying a Manners but does great as is.

Very nice rifle buddy. Looks like another awesome shooter you got there..

Thanks, BSA. I can't wait to hunt it!

26", and yes, factory dbm. Standard Micky A3.

I sold this last year but here is my old .300 Whisp-out..

One I will never sell, 6.5x55 in Mcmillan Sako Classic Edge.

It is not tricked out and a really it isn't in my hands yet but I will soon have my first Tikka. Hopefullly I will keeping long enough to trick it out. It is a stainless .25-06 in the black laminated stock. The plan is to have the bolt and barrel fluted and an aluminum shroud. I have a Leopold matte finish 6x42 scope that will go on it in the factory rings for now until I find better rings.

Tennessee:

How much does she weigh? Nice looking rig.
