Looking for a Tikka barreled action
Long action (25-06, 270). Can't use a 30-06
Prefer stainless
Don't really need a stock
Rounds fired - don't really care (going to rebore it)

Let me know what you have

Tikka t3x action
Xcaliber 26" 1:7 6groove
Was told nightforce rail when I bought the donor rifle but I don't see any markings
I widened out the barrel channel on the t3x stock for the heavy sporter to fit. Doesnt effect accuracy (.62moa)
Threaded muzzle
Winchester specs (short action) but you can order a new bolt stop from mountain tactical and will convert it to a long action

Also I have load workup for it (.62moa)
Barely used dies
99 lapua brass. 68 1x fired, 19 loaded (can pull for shipping), 12 unfired
100 primers
100ish roughly 143 eldx projectiles
I'll throw in the shell holder if you dont have that one already.
Bore snake

If interested message me your number and can text pica

Getting around 2800fps according to my drop verification

Let me know if I can answer anymore questions.

Message me and I can text pics. Photos arent wanting to upload

I have a blued 30/06 if you don’t have any luck finding a stainless one

updated the ad to exclude 30 caliber, as I am going to rebore to create a 280 AI

If the goal is to stick with a Tikka (Sako) barrel, find a 7mm-08 and rechamber. Then you can simply change the bolt stop and magazine. It would be a 9.5" twist rate, which is decent.

Other than that, why not just rebarrel? An aftermarket barrel can be as good or better than what is on it. Then you can choose your contour, length, twist rate, etc. and make it a true custom.


My 280 AI T3 left hand started out as a 30-06. Had a Douglas barrel made for it, copying the factory contour to the end of the stock (that way any stock designed for a T3 would fit with no modifications. Had a McMillan made up for it.
