Anyone use the T3 for a build?

Can't think of one reason why one would......

+1

I can't think of one either. With Dicks Sporting Goods just having a sale on 700 ADL stainless/sythetic's for $400 I see no reason to use a T3 for a build...........just a curiosity question!

Check with 'yukonal, I think he has done one with Kampfeld and is starting another custom build with Robert Gradous equipped w/.284 T3 action/Shilen barrel/Mcmillan stock.

It's in the works. Best factory action/trigger made, for under $1,000.00.

I have toyed with the idea, the action is solid across the top, so it is stiff. I would like to see a 6.5-284 that has the barrel traced from a varmint contour so it could be a drop in.

The rifle: A Tikka T3 with a #5 Shilen barrel chambered in .30/06.









Here are some pictures of the groups:


100 yards:



200 yards:



300 yards:






This target is two separate 3 shot 100 yard groups. One on each side of the "10"

I shot one then bumped the scope two clicks and shot the other one:

If you moved the targets closer,it might shoot as good as my Titanium do further,as issued............

This is a friend's T3 300 WinMag. Barrel is a bit lighter than Rem varmint, I think it's a Lilja, but may be mistaken. 22" plus Holland brake. Manners carbon fiber stock. Alloy rail and 35mm Seekins alloy rings. Scope is a Vortex Razor 5-20x50 with MRAD reticle.

He's shooting 208s at 2900 fps. It's a hammer at one mile. Last summer we were plinking out to 2300 yards with it, courtesy of a PLRF-10 rangefinder. For a tac style rig it's surprisingly light, even with the Hubble glass. It's a shooter.

Just think if she were a 7mm and a Salvage................(grin).

Well everybody can't be a special as you

There is one for a write in !!!

Does the T-3 have the same seperate recoil lug as the 595?

When rebarreling is it replaced with a conventional washer type lug between barrel and action?

The lug on my .30/06 is the more conventional washer/700 type.

As an original T-3 or rebarreled with a replacement lug?

Paul

rebarreled with a replacement lug.

hbb-that's an awesome rifle, and some excellent shooting!

Thank you. I am looking forward to seeing yours when it is finished.

In fairness,I know my way around a rifle and the Ti is about as good as such things get.

But I is special to boot.............

Input on that Manners stock??? I have been tempted to order one.

thanks.

A Faux McMillan,don't personally interest me................

If a DM is desired, I'd take the tikka over a Rem 700 DM anyday.

This will be great.

Why?.................

Input on stock?

Stock is a Manners MCS-T2. Kinda like a McM A5, minus the butthook.
