Customised T3
Posted by ukvarminter on July 8, 2012 at 10:19 amHi everyone ,
I did not know that there was such a site for Tikka owners but glad i came across this one because it looks good!!
I reside in the UK and thought i would say ” hello ” and post some pictures of my Tikka T3 …
Smithed by a company called UKgunworks , it has a Mcmillan Sako varmint stock / Ukgunworks tactical bolt handle – action screws / Krieger light varmint profile -24 inch ( 290 neck ) barrel – chambered for 6.5-55 Improved..
I use a ASE ULTRA S5 moderator and she wears a Nightforce BR 8-32 – 56 scope on top!!
Chris who owns the company has become a very good friend who does a top job too 🙂

Very impressive Ray! Thanks for sharing your success with us. You certainly have a sweet shooter there!
What part of the UK are you able to do this sort of thing? I'm in the US and just curious.
Thanks – Todd

Thanks Todd 😉
I reside in a place called Cornwall , we are fortune to have good rolling valleys giving us good chances of safe long range shooting!!
Got lovely coastline around us too – so great for a spot of sea fishing too!!!
I like my longrange varminting , but i also go Deer stalking too!!!
Heres another photo out varminting…
All the best ,

Thanks for the info Ray. Did your gunsmith bed the Tikka action into the stock? Or was he able to just drop it in?
I looked up Cornwall and learned something new. That looks like a very nice part of the world. The temperature range looks very comfortable for me, (I like it a bit cooler). I live on the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains in the state of Colorado. There are quite a few people who live in this area so I have to travel a bit to get to truely open area.
Take care!  –  Todd
