I need to have some experience with the peasant side of life before I enter politics. I thought a Tikka would be a good route to gain some street cred but I can't find these POS anywhere.

Anybody have one? What are the measurements on the mags? Can you touch lands with any of the heavies in .308?

There's a few on Gunbroker.

Mag is 3". Uses the TRG 22 (?) magazine. I can't help with the 308 heavies.

Thanks WA.

Sounds like Scheels in Great Falls can get me one. I may have to give one a go.

Just FYI, they also come in 260Rem.

There's an article in the current Nov/Dec Rifleshooter.

Federal Gold Medal match 168gr went 0.42 average for 3 consecutive 3-shot groups.

I bought a new tikka from EuroOptics just a few weeks ago.

They had a pretty good inventory at the time. Don't know about 308s but their inventory is on their website.

I think the contour of this barrel is more magnum-ish.

And shorter.

And the stock is more sporter-ish.

And it's cheaper.

Does the tactical have "bottom metal" or plastic? Plastic mags or steel?

(aluminum bottom metal & steel TRG 22 magazines on the CTR)

To ensure this new zapper would be ready for rifle opener on 22nd, I dropped an unassigned Leupold 1.75-6x32 German No.1 in Wally Whirl'd Weaver Quadlocks onto its Picatinny 0 MOA factory rail. Here's a few pics after all was put together.

Hoping to have a Silencerco Harvester 7.62 in place of this thread protector before too long.

Only fired 5 rounds of Rem 120 BTs fired so far, but here are shots 3-5. I measured them at .51; jerked one kinda hard. In the swamp I hunt 60 yards is a long poke...

After the season will pimp with a scope more suited to longer shooting, a drab dip or spraypaint job, and develop some 100 gr. NBTs to pop vermin with and a heavier Scenar load for a COelk hunt next fall.

308 CTR 1/11 twist
260 CTR 1/8 twist

Thinking I'd prefer the 260.

I went .308 for two reasons...

1.) I have piles of .308 crap.

2.) I don't think the .260 is as near as sub-sonic friendly as the .308 is.

And the sub-sonic .308's are bad-freakin'-ass.

Somebody on here told me to use 11.0gr's of TB and the 190gr Sierra MatchKing. They must have known WTF they were talking about because they shoot like a [bleep] and are quieter than an air gun.

Until that bullet hits somethin'... grin

I bought it while on the road working and am previously making a move from Montana to Western Oregon so I haven't had time to do any loads for the rifle yet.

I fired some blue box 64 grainers through it and groups were just over an inch. I know the rifle should do way better than that and am eager to get some loads done.

I picked up some Benchmark and H4895 along with Barnes 55 ttsx I plan to use for a deer hunting load.

As I bought the rifle mostly for my 8 year old daughter I also picked up some hornady 55 gr vmax that I intend to use with the H4895 for reduced recoil loads for the kid.

However my 8 year old did offer to loan me her rifle anytime I like. :Grin

I'm assuming to run the 75 AMax I'd need to do a mag mod?

Sorry I don't have more for you but I'll let you know how it all pans out as soon as I get the chance.

Carl Ross had one and I'm pretty sure he and Rutledge shot a couple matches with it. He had it at the Icebreaker two years ago. Fuggin' thing was UBER. For a peasant.

It's a regular lite, not a super, but I've had a chunk too. Whatcha want to know?

Curious how �ber accurate it was compared to other �ber Tikkas, in other uber chamberings, but you mentioned it in the ad.

10-4

For what it's worth, the T3 Varmint shot just the same for me, no appreciable difference from the Lite.

Worse... I came to Texas via Southern California. But I'm originally from Kentucky, descended from a long line of trigger pullers, so that inherent Redneckedness makes me acceptable to Texans.

I didn't make it last year either.

Plenty of places to shoot here if you're ever out this way. The wind seems tough to call until you started gettin' drunk. Then it's easy.

No, no, no, get it straight. In Finnish, Tikka actually means "woodpecker." So, unless you're shoving woodpeckers (or other varieties) up your butt, the Gerbil reference was specific to Montana residents who habitually molest sheep and small furry animals.

Since there's no question the CTRs are the ultimate precision peasant rifle, there's another question this thread makes me ponder:

I know there's lotsa Montanans, Tennesseans, Texans and Coloradans on here, but has anyone ever figured out the total members from all the states.

I'm a personally a slob, but altitude, travel routes, and statistics like the above tickle my OCD puzzy.

That would be interesting to know, but first you should explain to the "Montanans" what statistics mean.

Just to be clear that is not aimed at anyone in particular, but in other news I did hear that the Chicago Bears are going to have a mens football team next year.

Interesting question.

I was raised different than most in that I don't identify or categorize people based on where they are from.

But Rick and I did sit and analyze the data one day and this is a snippet of our findings:

100% of the best hunters on this website are from Montana.

98% of the bad jokes on this website come from Tennessee.

50% of all posts that would be considered "retarded" by a reasonable citizen, originate from Tejas. The other 50% originate from the state of Oregon.

Washington state has a lot of very intelligent residents. But that track record has been erased by a single man. Some may call it, a safariman.

Yes. But your reasoning for that occurring has been deemed un-mockable.

Travis, I keep thinking about the subsonic 308 loads you was explaining to me. I'm assuming with a can you hardly hear a pop at all. And probably dead nuts accurate!

The more I think about it the more I'm thinking I really need to try this. Probably shoot a coyote right off the back porch and not even wake the neighbors.

Gun show up yet?

Not sure. I've been busy not killing elk. Should be in this week though. Although I'm kinda thinking it won't get fired until after the season.

This is with sub-sonics. I'm waiting on my 22LR can to show up. I'm thinking it will probably be the funnest of all.

So far it's looking like the French should stick to naps and schitty food.

A slight twist to the left to see if anything was loose resulted in this:

Which isn't all bad when you consider they didn't even bother to drill and tap the most forward portion of the base.

UBER impressed:

The screws and the base itself are epoxied to the receiver. They cannot be removed without application of heat in my experience. Not heating will result in broken off screws or even a bent rail as you try to pry it off. Ask me how I know.

The front screw is positively for a mirage shield. Attempts to screw it in further can also result in a bent rail.

You will also notice that the rail has a pressed in dowel pin that interfaces with the reciever, a nice touch. That rail is screwed, glued and pinned. It's not moving.

Thanks for posting this.

I already decided to not care about the screw and have a SS mounted on it. Gonna load up some different stuff and test it ASAP.

Preliminary load development.

155gr Scenar. LapWhah brass. 44.5gr's of RL 15.

1" dots. Five shots.

[Linked Image]

208gr. A-Max. RL 15. I think RL 17 will make this much more better.

[Linked Image]

Six shots of sub-sonics. 11gr's of Trail Boss. 190gr. Sierra. Three shots, moved 1" down. Three more.

Gonna stick with the 44.5gr's. 45 opened things up just a smidge but still kept 10 under 1 1/4".

UBER.

Hey Travis,

What suppressor are you using?

Thinking about a Harvester 7.62, but interested in your observations on what you run.

Was hunting with a cool bunch today. Everyone had a suppressor on their Tikka or Barrett but me! Severe can envy has set in...

CC,

I gots the Bravo 1 from Elite Iron. It works very well for me thus far. I can put it on my AR or this 30 cal rig.

No complaints but I really don't have anything similar to compare it to. And I ain't buyin' another any time soon... grin

My rimfire can should be here in a few months. I will likely order a pistol can in a year or two also.

Not sure how UBER the 260 would do with sub-sonic stuff.

30 is where it be.

True.

Full disclosure: I love my scary accurate LTR .308.

One of the crew I was running w today has cut a T3 Lite 7/08 back to 16-in. so that OAL bbl +suppressor is 23-in. for truck gun handiness.

Could almost justify doing that w LTR when I take it to get threaded.

Then again another one just runs a suppressed Montana .243 and busts coyotes out past Ft. Mudge w 95-grain BTs and a Rapid Z scope.

I had/have a 16" .308. The CTR is going to replace it...

Stop being a cheap ass and order a can.

Soon as I got everybody's Christmas stuff squared away; can't buy the traditional pre-natal Christmas gift .22 for my first grandchild til I find out if it's a boy or girl next week! She or he arrives in June.

Did you do a trust or the regular forms on your suppressor?

May just get cash together to buy 7.62 & .45 ACP suppressors/adapters/stamps all at once & be done for awhile.

Trust. Only way to to go.

I'd be tempted to try a 22LR first if I could do it all over again. Unless you can hunt with the can. Then I'd definitely go 30 cal and centerfire.

Another option is the LLC. It gives additional flexibility, especially if you ever want to sell. You can sell the LLC and it's assets and avoid the transfer tax. It also allows you to give access to family or friends by naming them in the incorporation documents.

155gr. Scenar, RL15, and Lapoopah brass.

I was wondering how the Scenar would perform. So far so good. Just sort of made a nice entrance and exit and the dog pretty much bled out.

But I need more test media to be sure... grin.

Just back from the range with the ol' Tikka. Upgrade to the 6X SS was well worth it.

6x SS with suppressed subs sounds like a hoot. As whack-o as Oregon is, they surprisingly allow big game hunting with a suppressed weapon. Been thinking about an integrally suppressed rifle for blacktail.

Congrats on the coyote! I was hoping to beat ya to punch, but work and a rotten cold has prevented me from hunting for more than a week.

Won't be able to hit the woods til next Saturday now. Uber Fudge!

Fugg that integral schit. Get a 30 cal can that isn't too heavy.

Best of all worlds IMO.

I forgot to add that this rifle fails to eject about 50% of the time if you leave the mag full.

No. It is bone stock. I would not put an extra penny toward a Tikka.

But that's just me.

If anybody is curious...

Two flaws on this CTR.

1.) Working the bolt hard and fast (the only way to roll) results in the case hitting the turret of the scope and bouncing back inside the ejection port.

2.) Don't let the mag get dirty. At all. Like, not even a little.

I have one coming in 260 and am looking forward to trying it out. Gonna sling some 123's and see what the fuss is all about. Lol

Flave: does the mag not want to feed dirty or what is the issue?

Yeah. The cases get hung up and confused looking if they have any dirt on them.

I find it to be more than a little annoying.

But on another note... This thing truly is ridiculously accurate.

Inch groups @ the 300 last Friday and I'm not exaggerating. Clay pigeons @ the 500 are pretty simple.

And I did no load development at all.

I'm anxious to get mine in. As soon as the can get out of jail the real fun will start. Till then, muffs it is.

They all seem t suffer from the same accuracy issues Flave. They don't allow for load tinkering at all.... I have thought about one in 308 to go along with the 260. When you tire of yours...look me up.

I was confirming drops with the sub-sonics on Friday as well.

The 1-11" is a little marginal with the 190's. Accuracy was still good to 250yds but you could tell some of them were a bit wobbly when hitting the paper...

Even if they did, I wouldn't buy it.

$950 dollars on a fuggin' Tikka is sort of pushing the boundaries of sanity IMO.

My .260 feeds like a champ, with nary an issue. Have only had the issue with spent brass hitting the turret and falling back into the action a couple times, but that was running it slow.

Both the .260s I've had are stupid accurate too. 123 Scenars absolutely hammer outta both guns, same load. I'll have another in .308, and I f they made a 1-8" it'd be a no brainer.

Milk jug stock.... chromoly..... whatever. I paid sub-$850 for mine, and couldn't be happier with the rifle and the performance.

I'm actually not disappointed in the stock. I know a lot of people don't care for them but mine seems pretty solid and it's comfortable to shoot with from the prone.

Travis,

Don't worry about feed problems. You only to need it as a single shot anyway. One shot with a Tika does it all. Unless of course if it was chambered in .270..

Little shy of that, about 2.95"... I'm running 123 Scenars at 2.865" and 123 Amax at 2.90".... Same BTO.

The only thing I did to mine was sand the moulding lines off, and took the two spacers out. With SS in lows it sets-up very nicely, and recoil is very manageable, even for new shooters.

Three different shooters at 600.... this was rounds #11-13 outta my CTR....

Went back out Saturday afternoon and made three stands but got skunked.

Weather has been schit. Lots of snow, small break. Lots more snow, small break.

Calling always sucks when it's like this. For me anyway.

Calling here is very tough.. We have several contests early in the fall.. Educates them pretty fast.. Plus we have had mange knock down the population.. Last year was the worst coyote year I have had in maybe 25 years.. Hang in there..

Still lots of time. I haven't been out a lot but calling has been downright easy up until last Saturday.

No complaints here.

I see this a lot from Tikkas. I have one in .300 win mag and only time I have shot it thus far is with some loads chucked together in junk brass and it shot 1.5" off my elbows leaning on the bedside of my truck. With good loads and all I am sure it will be stupid accurate even if a little annoying in the recoil dept.

A local shop has 2 ctr's in. One in 308 and one in 260. I really like 6.5's but the 308 is tempting. They are priced at $907. Is that a decent price on one?

Same shop had a stainless ctr in 260 today. It was $999. I would have bought it if I hadn't just sent my deposit in on s campfire 260.

How is the ejection problem coming? I run/ran .270, .308 and .223 and cant recall ever having a problem with it hitting windage turrets. Maybe you can just rotate the scope and get the turret out of the way. smile

Load development is always tough with the Tikkas. This is the .270 doing a ladder test at 200 yards. I had to add .5 mil of windage for each load because the sons of beachs kept going in the same hole and it was impossible to tell what was going on. Oh and the SWFA stuff sucks and DNZ rings are ugly.

U going to Icebreaker so you can see my ghetto rig in person?

Magazine issue?

The Tikka bottom metal or the Sako TRGs bottom metal?

Rails are flat..... I just removed mine and installed some 16bore modified Talleys and a 3-9x40 Mark AR. Trying to keep the weight down, it's 8.5lbs all up now.

I had no issues feeding from a full mag, but did occasionally have a spent case bounce off the Windage turret and end up back in the ejection port.

My T3 with a 20moa rail, B&C stock, and Nightforce is only 8lbs 12oz. That different barrel must be pretty hefty...

Rail came right off with a little tap.... pins stayed in the receiver (pulled them easily with a set of pliers). Barrel is quite a but stouter than a T3 lite pipe.... it's about like a light Palma contour.

A 8.5-9lb super-accurate 6.5mm rifle is never a bad thing....

I'm just starting with mine. Haven't had any ejection issues as of yet. I'm thinking of going with a 20moa rail though. Give myself more room to twist.

I had 15+ MILs left on the Super Chicken with the factory rail.... that's like 1500 yards with the .260. I can see how the .308 guys could need that extra 20 MOA though.... 15 MILs only gets the .308 to about 450 yards.... Laffin.

Here's a pic of the barrels side by side... T3 Lite on the left, CTR on the right.... lot more meat on the CTR bone.

[Linked Image]

16bore Talleys and a 3-9x40 Leupold Mark AR.... slung about as low as you can go.... not even enough clearance for a B&C cap, but it's fast handling and hammered out to 700 today in some 10-15mph winds. At 8.5lbs, and 40" OAL.... running 123 Scenars at 2850 (via 41/4064 or 44.5/4350) sub-MOA all day every day... it will see heavy workload this fall.

Damn, that is low. You could try shaving down the bottom portion of the cap, but will have to wrap tape around it to keep it on. Aint pretty, but functional. I had to do it on a muzzle loader.

Pointer.... there were 30-40 pronghorn about 90* to the right of that picture.... they hung out all day and watched us shoot. Pretty funny when they're well inside the range of the frequent hits on steel.

Darren... Stainless would be cool.... but this one has already seen 500+ rounds in 4 months, and will see another 100+ this weekend. Even my parents and their friends wanna go shoot it... so it's grandparents day at the 'range' tomorrow.... should be fun.

Point is.... for under $900, I got a fairly light, compact rifle that fhugkin hammers like a $2k gun. So, I can shoot the crap out of it... and re-barrel it... and still be in it less dough than a Rem platformed custom rifle, including about 1500 rounds (at $.50/ea). Blues actions have never bothered me much... and I don't plan on this blued pipe living long enough to have weather related corrosion issues.

Another cool thing about thing, is the 2.95" magazine... and 'long' action length. It's going to be an awesome platform for a stainless 20" barreled .284 Win. when the factory .260 pipe is toast.

The ejection problem seems here to stay if you work the bolt hard.

I ended up trying a new load in my Montana and it differs from the load I was using in the Tikka. I want to be able to pump them all out on the progressive so I tested it in the CTR yesterday.

10 shots about as fast as I could get settled and pull the trigger. Pulled bullets. Three different brands of brass. 15-20mph winds @ 110yds. That's a 1 1/2" dot.

Yes. Definitely a scope/turret issue and not a rifle issue.

I should stop being lazy and move things around.

The combination of low rings and that huge f'n windage knob on the SS cause ejection issues on a lot of actions.... not just the Tikka.

You could move stuff around.... or, grab a six-pack and watch 'Sniper'. Pay attention to Tom Berringer and how he catches the brass as he opens the action. It's a simple solution... you get half drunk.... and you get to watch Billy Zane shoot a dude from a moving helicopter with a Bassoon.

I had the same issue with my CTR and the SS 3-15 in Seekins lows. I have since swapped it for the Bushy LRHS, problem solved. I'd like to put the SS back on the CTR if I could make it work (without the Berringer trick I mean), any chance going to mediums (.97 vs. .82" on the lows) would solve this issue you think? I don't have any on hand but might order a set if it's likely to work.

Ok, I shot a buddy's CTR and love it. My thought is to sell my T3 in 7-08 to fund a CTR in 308. The problem is prices jump around quite a bit. Does anyone know who has the best prices on the non stainless CTR's? I know 260 does a bit more, but I already have a 280AI for distance and am sitting on quite a bit of 308. I am also thinking that with at limbsaver and a muzzlebrake, my teenage daughter could shoot it with no issue.

I know this is an older thread, but y'all seem to know quite a bit more than me on this.

I haven't seen any big differences in price when it comes to the CTR to be honest with you.

Mine isn't braked but my suppressor acts as a break and you can shoot it all day with 155's.

I bought a new stainless Ctr 308 for about $600 on a clearance. I am having some ejection issues but I have low rings and a 10x SS on it. I've only had it out once and it did ok with 155 scenars over varget but I think it can do better.

This thread is Risen!

Just curious if T3x are ejecting maux betta w SS scopes? Thinking bout one Faux Whittaker .22/250.

Still have Mk 4 T1 on CTR 260. It still is .5 or less. The Fed 120 BT load shoots and kills so well I've not even hand loaded for it yet.

Killing deer with it suppressed is too fun.

I've always been a fan of the T3's and when the CTR came out I was in. Long time TRG owner so it was nice to see a lower cost option. On the mags I usually direct folks here as they are about the best price I've found. http://www.eurooptic.com/S54065122-Tikka-T3-Compact-Tactical-Rifle-CTR-Magazine-260.aspx

Bumping this to pick the brains of ctr owners out there.
I'm about to buy a 6.5 creedmoor ctr and was planning on putting a 6x swfa SS on it. Does anybody know if there is still an ejection issue with the t3x and the SS windage knob?

Also, are the 5 round ctr magazines shorter than the 10 round ones or are they just 10s that are blocked off?

Thanks

No 5-rounders available.

The “ejection” issue with the T3 is no different than any other rifle I’ve run a SS on. Sometimes brass bounces off that big knob and ends up back in the open action. I’ve had it happen with Rems and Rugers too.
