Changing actions
Guess this is the right place for these questins Tikka experts – so here I go 🙂
A friend of mine has 2 Tikkas. One was originally a Tikka Hunter in 6,5×55 but he took it when it was new, replaced the stock (went with a KKC stock), took off the barrel and put on a Krieger in 7-08. The action is black but the barrel stainless.
Later he bought a use Tikka Syntetic in 300 WM and he is still deciding what to do with that gun. My question for him is this. Can he put the Krieger barrel on the stainless 300 WM action, swap the bolts and then have a stainless action/barrel on the 7-08?

I'm pretty sure if it headspaces correctly with a go-no go gauge, he should be good to go.
I have one action that has a .473 bolt face, a long bolt stop, and long mag box. It has been my experimenter. I have had a 6.5X55 on, a .308, and a 7MM-08 barrel on it…just messing around. As each diff barrel was screwed on, headspace was confirmed o.k. with a go gauge and we were up and running.
