Going to need another truck full with a side by side pic. I shot a 12 shot group once with my T3 7-08 and 120 BT's....... ![[Linked Image]](https://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t32/JGrimes_2007/truckdeer_zpsd09a3f35.jpg)

I am switching from Remington 700 to Tikka.
What are Remington standards for me?
1. Replace the barrel with a stainless steel barrel. I have gone to a standard commercial chambering as a tight chamber throated to match a specific bullet has only led to frustration.
2. Replace the stock with a McMillan Edge stock to my LOP although some have had McMillan Remington Classic stocks at one time.
3. Replace the factory firing pin assembly with a Gre-Tan assembly
4. Replace the factory bottom metal with Williams steel bottom metal
5. Replace the factory trigger with a Jewell trigger
For a hunting rifle ^^^^^^^^^^^ boggles my mind. S M H Jerry

Just an excuse to buy more rifles.....
Feed the addiction.... Sounds like a good deal to me..... Your comment has some truth to it but it is nice to just replace a stock with one that fits you and go shooting.

That way it looks better while being shot.....

Remington = Chevy
Tikka = Toyota
If you want to tinker with every aftermarket product, go Remington. If you want to pull something about of the box that works and go hunt, Tikka.
To add, I don't care how massaged a Remington action is worked over, it will _NEVER_ feed like a Tikka. Truth.

That was my experience with feeding on my Remington 700's and one reason I am switching. (Aside from an excuse to buy more rifles as some have suggested.)

Have not had to do that yet
2. Replace the stock with a McMillan Edge stock to my LOP although some have had McMillan Remington Classic stocks at one time.
that is a want thing, their factory stocks are comparable
3. Replace the factory firing pin assembly with a Gre-Tan assembly
Agree if it is a wart model
4. Replace the factory bottom metal with Williams steel bottom metal
Factory bottom metal is perfectly adequate, williams steel bottom metal is a luxury
5. Replace the factory trigger with a Jewell trigger
Then you are getting better then a Tikka Trigger. More comparable would be a Timney
6. Primary Extraction Fix
I just picked up a LNIB CDL SS SF in 7mm rem mag. It is very nice and very well made, I think the bolt timing is perfect even though it is a "RR" prefix , not sure what the extraction on it is like yet. I like a little variety

Maybe, but I prefer Lexus. To add, I don't care how massaged a Remington action is worked over, it will _NEVER_ feed like a Tikka. Truth. Have Remingtons and others brands with bolts as smooth as a Tikka. Tough to beat a single stack mag for smooth feeding, but it comes with a cost of less rounds or protruding below the stock line.

All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

I've owned a few Tikkas that I got a deal on....and couldn't get rid of them fast enough.
I've never seen the accuracy that some folks here rave about with them, plus they feel like a toy gun.
I'll stick to my 700s and Kimbers.

I'll stick to my 700s and Kimbers. Statistically speaking, they can’t all be shooters. We must be lucky, between the three of us we’re 12 for 12 on rave-worthy accuracy. P
Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.

12 of 13 Tikkas were sub MOA easily.
Two for two with Kimber. I would like to try a Montana in 308, then call it quits.

Interesting story. I've had a bunch of trouble with Remington chambers the last 10 or so years. Short chambers,long chambers, mostly burred chambers. One 7 Rem mag BDL had to have a burr polished out. The smithy at Grice gun shop did the deed. I bought it there. Brought her home and tried a proven whitetail load that I like in it. Here they are. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/bwK9GLpW/101-0851.jpg) In convenient yes,but worth the trouble.
