77's will fit your mag as is. 80's won't.

You will eventually get the “doughnut” when using a bushing neck die because the bushing does not go all the way to the shoulder neck junction. Simple neck turning will make it go away.

Did the “platform” come from the T-3? Or from the Sako TRG?
It's got more similarities with the TRG then the T-3.

The S20 action is kinda T3 rip-off by Sako but that just goes to show how good the venerable T3 is. Hard to make it any better without upping the price .. 🙂
That said i´ve already ordered a S20 Precision in 6.5 CRD , although i´ll toss the OEM barrel and replace it with a 66 cm Krieger LP in 6mm Norma BR. And about them (Tikka) been able to sell more rifles if that UPR would´ve been made earlier : Tikka has sold all the T3´s they´ve made since the dawn of that model so i don´t think that is of any concern to them actually .. 😉I agree about the mag pricing (although those only cost 99 € over here) and the build quality could´ve been better. The mags feel cheapo …
How is it kind of a rip off of the T-3 action? I don't see it myself. The S20 has a three lug bolt and integral picatinny rail. T-3 has neither. The S20 sits in a v-block bedding system, the T-3 doesn't. So where are the similarities that I am obviously missing?

Get a go,no-go gauge.

You may have had some hard carbon get into the chamber. Have your buddy with the bore cam check and see if you have a carbon ring.

Shoot it first. You can always do whatever with it afterwards if you still want to.
I have a Tikka M695 in 30-06 and it shoots lights out.

Have you taken the action/barrel out of the stock and removed the bottom metal to see if there is anything binding, broken or obstructing the fit of either component? That's where I would look next. Then when you replace both make sure that the barrel/action fits properly in the stock before tightening the action screws.
-
Make sure that the lug has seated properly to the barrel. Many do this by putting the action and action screws in the stock loosely fastened, then taking the butt of the rifle stock and bumping it on the floor a few times to make sure the lug has set in the barrel notch. Then tighten the screws, alternating front to back until you reach a torque you are comfortable with. Be careful that you don't over torque the plastic bottom metal because it will crack if you over do it.
Check this thread:

Well, your safety is messed up for one thing. Bolt should not move with the safety on.

I have three T3/T3x. Everyone of them shot better consistently with the pinch point removed and free floated up to the lug.

Nope.

New to forum, new to Tikka's. Getting back into hunting after a few years. I sold off my Savages a while back, and after looking at a lot of guns in my price range, the T3X Compact is the one I want.
What kind of accurate range can I expect from the gun with a 20″ barrel? Also, any input on scopes is appreciated. I want to stay under $400 on the glass. I get the 40% Mil discount with Vortex.Thanks,
You be good to go at 600 yards for sure and 800 probably. It could go 1000 but you'll have your work cut out for you.
