I NEVER use an social media, never will.  I like the forums.

I just found out today the LH Tikka T3x TAC A1 will not be available until August/Sept. :-[

Did you try a little **Blue** Locktite?

BTW – How much did you have to remove to get to the trigger assembly, e.g., handguard, barrel nut lock-plate, and replace the trigger spring?  I bought a spring from Elay Precision and I'm curious how much work is ahead of me.

It's only in this category, all others are O.K.  Geez, Korean spam, who woulda thought!  It looks like it hit on June 1st.  I thought there would be more activity on this forum.

Try snipershide tikka forum.  I searched the web but couldn't find an answer for you.

If I were you I would not put cheap Chinese rings on my rifle.  If cost is an issue wait until you have a few more dollars.  Go to Beretta website and get the SKU# for the mag you want and search for best price.  Most 5 and 10 round mags are the same except the is a metal or plastic block to restrict rifle to 3 or 5 rounds.  You can make your own by remove the follower and dropping in a home made block.  You provided too little info to advise you futher.

Thank you very much.  It's exactly the info I needed.

Far from being an expert, but no one was answering your question… let me try.

I wonder if you measured correctly or used the correct bullet.  The .260 Rem uses a .264 diameter bullet.
Assuming a case-neck thickness of .014, and you didn't “turn” your necks excessively, multiply it by 2, e.g., .264+(.014*2) = .292″  Now subtracting your .288, that is probably the max neck tension – .004.  Max, but O.K. for an auto but too much for a bolt-action (.002″).  Compressed bullets?

.288-.264 = .024, .024/2 = .012″ case necks?  Acceptable, but I believe thin, unless you have a custom chamber.

I hope I made some sense.  Let the pros weigh in.

Here is an article that is good for torque settings for various stocks, mounts, bases, etc.  You just have to convert from Nm.

From what I've read, converts to 45 inch-pounds.

H4350 banned, why?

I bet it's about the left-handed T3x TAC A1 and the some kind of 22LR, probably like the new Ruger.

Recommend you use this online app.

I plan on ordering the same rifle with the Spuhr 30mm 6 MIL/20.6 MOA Unimount SP-3601 and Vortex PST 5-25 Gen II scope.  The Spuhr has a 1.18″ base (rail top) to scope center.  By my calculation the scope cant offset (6″) will work but I'm not sure if it will with the sun shade (10″).

Anyone know the height of the bore/bolt center to rail top?
