He did my Tikka SL and I also had him put on one of his Campfire bolt knobs. "Rather hunt Mule deer than anything else" "Team 7MM-08"

Nice touch for sure and Karl does excellent work. I wouldn't fret the bolt knob, as the bolt handles are extremely easy to replace on your own and there are many options to choose from out there that would go well with your new fluted bolt. Nice looking rifle there. Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style.

Just picked up one myself in same make/model/cartridge, but only shot one box of the cheapest factory ammo to make sure it functions and shows some promise, before it got dropped off for a barrel cut and thread.

Typical Tikka, very accurate in my opinion, 140 grain Berger VLDs with H4350, Possibly the most accurate load and rifle I own, 127g LRX with Varget or H4350, still around a .75 gun, And of course Karen mentioned I need new rings and a scope, so there’s that…………. The only thing left that I wish was available for this rifle is a trigger tech trigger or similar, Maybe someday that would be a possibility, fingers crossed.

Ok then what is the grown man upset that a stranger didnt immediately congratulate him on a worthless aesthetic "upgrade" to his rifle? You are projecting. "Facelifts" are for old vain women. Oh and p.s., factory tikka triggers are fine...from the factory. It's not some p.o.s. 700 for phugg sake. Save your trigger pennies and buy some sportsmatch rings.

I wouldn't change the trigger out if I were you. The Tikka triggers are very good and extremely reliable under adverse conditions. The Rem 700 style triggers, while also very good, are not as reliable when dirt or ice is introduced to them. If you would like more adjustability, a quick spring change-out will get you where you want to be.

Pretty childish is insulting someone , that happens a lot here. He can spend his money anyway he wants but the fact is fluting serves no purpose other than visual. It does introduce dirt to the inside of the action.

I'm guilty^^^^ Some guys just don't get it. You know the guys that just think of them as tools, don't take care of them either. They look like a POS after they use them. I've seen it many times at gun shops. It's a shame too because they probably don't take care of other schidt like their house or cars either. I like the OP's fluting and Karl does excellent work.

At least one the three I have. I like to use the ctr stocks and bottom metal on sporters. Works like a charm for curing coal issues for the 223’s. The ctr fits me really well so that’s another plus. I really like the sports match rings too. These scopes have more than enough travel for the distances I shoot. I did put a 30moa rail on the tikka rimfire and used the issued rail on the real ctr. The rest have got sports match.
