I finally got around to painting my other Tikka T3. This one is a 300WSM. Don't know how it shoots yet, I wanted to paint it before taking out to the range. I don't expect anything less that stellar however, afterall, it is a Tikka! Anyway, let me know what you think of the paint job. This one, being my second time around, took less than 2 hours from start to finish. This is very easy to do, and it looks good IMHO, so I highly recommend it to anyone who is considering it!

Nice job. I like it!

That really looks good. You should go into business! I love mine to look like that! I do slightly prefer the green paint job though.

Loren,

It's pretty simple. Here is a link to another thread I posted regarding a Tikka that I finished in Green. Scroll down and you will find instructions on how I did it.

Good luck!

He sells it, pull up robertson stocks on a search.

So I did a google search and found his site. Holy crap! His hunting stock weighs 3lbs 2oz! I don't think so. I like the weight of my Tikka. I'll wait until McMillan comes out with one. Until then I'm fine with the factory stock. grin
