    Yes it is!

    We're back to square one rebuilding the server. 

    On a good note, it means that people like doing business with us!

    Well… Tikka Tuesday was such a success that we crashed another server!!!  We are working on it and will continue the Tikka Tuesday sale to make up for all these technology problems.

    Thank you!  This shows how little sleep I've been getting while my team and rebuild the site.

    Send pics!  My 284 barrel is still sitting in the closet…  My action has been used as a test mule for all the products we have been developing and I haven't been able to screw it on yet 🙁

    Holds 1/4 MOA to 1,000.  This will be my F(T/R) load this spring.

    Holy Tomoly!

    Guess now you can kick my butt…

    I've never had a gun that shoots as good as this.  Whenever I go to the range I feel like I won the Tikka lottery!

    We'll see how I do under pressure next year…

    Great advice from the Beagle!

    You'll love the 204.  The only way I can get one here in the states is to import a varmint model from Canada.  By the time I pay all those fees I can build a custom.

    I use a brake on my 223 and some people laugh at me until they shoot it.  Brakes are not just for reducing recoil, but being able to spot your shots by eliminating muzzle jump. 

    With the brake, I can shoot gophers in excess of 400 yards and see every hit.  It is almost like shooting an air rifle that packs a whole lotta punch.

    Happy shooting!

    Tikka Shooters Forum favicon icon 15 Bullseyes

    You should use an sae caliper to get the precise standard measurement.  They are pretty cheap through Harbor Freight or find a friend who reloads and they'll probably have multiple calipers to choose from.

    The muzzle diameter is 22mm  which equates to approximately .8″

    I've used the Berger formula with great success with all my guns.  My 223 likes 20 thousandths off the lands but my 270 likes 50 thousandths off the lands.

    Heed Ranger3's advice and find what your gun likes.

    Only change one thing at a time during load development though.  I typically find my most consistent load then fine tune the accuracy with seating depth variation.

    You won't be disappointed.  In my gun, they perform better than the 80 VLDs or 80MKs

    I was floored at how fast they are able to go.  My loads started with the Sierra minimums and I didn't even reach the max.  I just saw the chronograph data and decided to stop going higher on the loads.  There were no pressure signs, but my experience with small cartridges like the 223 is that it can go over pressure very quickly.

    80.5 Berger Full Bore with a healthy dose of Varget.  2940 fps using Winchester brass and Federal Match primers. 

    Holds 1/4 MOA to 1,000.  This will be my F(T/R) load this spring.

    Chad Helmick has disappeared leaving us and all his customers in a lurch.  We have calls coming in from Australia from his direct customers wanting to know where he is.

    His store is still active but DO NOT purchase anything.  You will not receive it.

    Hi SniperJ

    As it has been said, There are no stupid questions…  Just stupid people giving bad advice…  Wait…  That last part was my own addition.

    You will need to mill out a larger section on the bottom of your stock to accept the DBM since it is larger than the factory unit.

    There are no modifications need to the action.  If you have a 223, you will need to modify the feed lips.  If you buy them from us, we modify them here.

    Hi Jason so if i order the Cdi and get the 308 AI mag it will run alot better cheers

    Hi Sniper J

    It's not an issue of running better, but increased capacity since you can use 5 or 10 round AICS magazines.  AICS magazines are the military standard.

    So, let me get this straight…. I'm having a problem loading my cartridges for a longer COL on my T3 300 WSM and if I change a few things (bottom metal and magazine), I'll get the space in the magazine to allow me to do this?

    With the WSM you will also need to modify your bolt stop to ensure the bolt comes far enough back to pick up the cartridge.  Here is an example of what I did:  http://youtu.be/e4rCsOohVks
