My Tikka T3 CTR in Hunter stock
Here are some photos of my new deer rifle.
I bought this Tikka T3 CTR 308 brand new last year. I shot it about 10 times to get it sighted in. It is just super accurate as you would expect, putting all shots into the same hole at 100 yards even when fired by two different shooters!
The only way I could think to improve it for deer hunting was to figure out how to put this barreled action in a sleek, sporter-style stock. After much research I figured out that this barreled action would bolt right up into any Tikka T3 stock. I had a chance to buy a new Tikka T3 walnut Hunter stock and trigger guard so I grabbed it, had pillars installed, the action bedded, and the barrel channel opened up a tiny bit to free-float the barrel. The trigger is adjusted to a crisp 2-3/4 lbs.
I will take the factory scope rail off, put a Ded Nutz Game Reaper and my Redfield Revolution 4-12×40 scope back on it, put a flush mount factory 3-round magazine in it, put my Limbsaver Air Tech recoil pad on it and head for the range to get it sighted in for deer season next fall.
You can't use the CTR bottom metal or 10-round magazine with a regular factory Tikka T3 wood or synthetic stock, or any aftermarket drop-in T3 stocks. But the CTR barreled action drops right into any T3 stock using the standard trigger guard and 3 or 5-round factory mags. You might also need to be able to open the barrel channel a tiny bit. Makes for a very nice sporter-style package that handles and balances nicely.
