Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Tikka M695 Project

Hi There,

I did a similar project last year, based on the M695 action, which changed it from a 25-06 into 275 Rigby. Traditional calibre but unconventional way to go about it.

Essentially a rebarrel with Lothar Walter 22" 1:9 twist CM barrel. Squared off the bolt lugs, fluted bolt and large bolt knob. Trigger honed to SAFE 2 lbs pull. Bedded into a McM Sako Hunter stock in McWoody 3 colour. Dark Brown, Light Brown, Black 33/33/33 mix.

Topped off now with a Near Alphamount and S & B 3 -12x50; and then blued the complete action/Barrel assembly.

The original recoil lug recesses into a machined s/s socket set into the bedding, works fine, rock solid way to go.

I am shooting either NBT 140 or N Accubonds 140, over H414, Fed GM210M primers in RWS brass. It gives 2805 fps, and under .5 MOA for 5 shots.






Bedding Block from Tikka 595 done in exactly the same way.

Best of luck with your Project.
