Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Tikka builds

I know the 700 platform is the popular vote.
Does anyone have experience in a customized Tikka?

What are some companies that keep barrels in stock if I was to go looking for a tikka or rem build?

Thanks

I ve had 2 done, a .260 built on a Tikka595 action, Shilen barrel, McM stock, Near Alphamount, and a 275 Rigby calibre built on a Tikka 695 action, Mcm McWoody stock, LW barrel, Near Alphamount.

Both rifles had the bolts fluted, triggers worked on , polished and are just great for hunting rifles.

Neither action needed anything more in the way of 'blueprinting' than a very light skim of the bolt lugs to achieve 95% contact, they feed impeccably, and shoot better than I can. Whats not to like?



275 Rigby /Tikka260



.260 / Tikka 595

Very nice Tikka260! Those would make any one a proud owner.

Someone on this site has several built off of a Tikka T3 action. Their handle here escapes me.

Yukonal has some sweet Tikka builds.

Not a lot needs to be done. I dropped my .270 into a BC stock, put some devcon on the stock for traction and added some cerakote. Its light, points well for me and hits everything I aim it at.

it was YukonAl I am thinking of. I believe he added a Remmy style lug to his during the rebarrel.

I am most likely going to have a Tikka rechambered within the next year, and it will be plopped into a McMillan. Nothing else needs to be done to those rifles.

Ive seen some pretty neat rifles built on the Tikka platform, this is my first crack at a "light" custom, a 22-250 HB Varmint, Sterk titanium bolt shroud, Delta Tactical handle and GRS stock, and it shoots itty bitty groups.

Good looking rifles. What scope rings are those?
I'm wanting to get a metal shroud and bigger bolt handle as well.

Vortex fluting might be the cats ass on Tikkers...

Nice! where did you have that fluting done?

And what coating is that?

Not mine, wrong handled. Some dude at the 'hide.

I think it looks better with the Tikka angles and whatnot.

Warne rings, and check Tikka Performance Center for the other goodies, they have a website store and forum.

Here's a little Talley mojo....

Where can I get some of that? Is it a member here and still offered?

I might know a guy....

TIKKATALLEYMOD

Here's just one of them. Several more done, in the safe. And just got 2 Mickies in the mail last week for 2 more. The next 2 should approach perfection...in my mind. (5 shots on the target)

Dang nice gun and even better group!

What is the biggest contour to fit in a factory tikka stock?
Anybody know?

Same pattern?

Sako Classic (for a #3 Lilja), and another A3 (adjustable) for a #6 Kreiger-fluted.
