Are they hand loads or factory rounds?
My 300wsm did not like factory loaded winchester ammo at all.
Always very difficult to lift bolt handle after firing.
Never a problem with any other manufacture or hand loads.

[eightyeight_mag]

hopefully they have the same bolt pattern and can take any regular rail made for the t3

[eightyeight_mag]

yes…super excited.
Its about time

[eightyeight_mag]

Will it make shiny spots on barrel?

[eightyeight_mag]

Awesome rifle.

Make sure scope mounts are solid and torqued properly.
Make sure stock is not over torqued.
Free float the barrel.
If you cant deal with the recoil, get a lead sled to sight it in.

Your going to have a hard time convincing anyone on this forum, or other forums for that matter, that a tikka won't shoot.
Just my .02 😉

The 6.5 is great when you are recoil sensitive.
My wife loves hers.

[eightyeight_mag]

very nice.
get yourself a yodave trigger spring and you can get an even better feeling trigger.
just my .02

I load my 300 wsm accubond to mag length. thats one way to deal with it i suppose.
Never had that problem with factory ammo though.
good luck

Before i started rolling my own I always used federal premium trophy bonded 180 gr. in my 300wsm.
Great performance. Cabelas did have them on sale for 25 percent off. Not sure if the sale is still going.

Now I use nosler accubond 180 with reloader 17 in Norma brass loaded to mag length. An absolute hammer.
If I ever stopped reloading I would go back to the federal premium in a heartbeat.

tikkas sporter barrels can be threaded if you want to put a muzzle brake on it.
Also just throwing on a limbsaver recoil pad can make a world of difference.
You could also put some kind of fill in the stock to add a little weight.

[eightyeight_mag]

I've heard it is an awesome round.
Especially if you cook up your own loads.

[eightyeight_mag]

Can't wait to here your results.

Been wanting to try this for quite some time but have not got around to it.

I just load to mag length for my 300wsm and it has been a tack driver.

A rail gives your more options on eye relief / scope position.

As far as removing rail on ctr, just apply enough heat to the screws and it will come off.
Don't be impatient and strip the screws out.

I replaced mine cause I wanted a 20 moa rail.

Looks are deceiving.
Dont waste your time
