    Tikka Shooters Forum favicon icon 1 Bullseye

    I  don't know that the common break-in procedures do anything to improve accuracy or precision of a factory  barrel, but in every case I've done it I believe I've ended up with barrels that resisted fouling much longer. and cleaned up quicker.

    But who knows if randomly firing/ then cleaning using the same number of rounds would produce the same, or different results.

    For any factory rifle used for competition purposes, I  would follow a break-in protocol, if only to ensure a long day's shooting with minimum fouling.

    It's obvious, during the cleaning part of the break-in procedure, that the barrel is changing; the patches run through with much less resistance, and fewer and fewer are needed for a clean barrel, as the procedure progresses.

    Greetings.

    My first post on this forum.

    As a neophyte F Class shooter, I plan to upgrade from a Savage FTR to a semi-custom rifle.
    After listening to some successful shooters, and respected gunsmith, I plan on using a Tikka T3, orT3x action.
    A question I've not yet  been able to answer is: Are the mounts on both actions similar; would they both mount into the same stock?
    Thanks in advance.
