Try contacting nightforce they probably have some pictures

I would agree with you but surprisingly enough I did and they provided me with nothing!!  Was actually quite dissappointed in that….lol.  So now I am on the hunt to find some pics.

After many months of research finally made a purchase. 

LEICA RANGEMASTER CRF 2400-R

Had the best combination of functionality, temp rating and reviews I could find.

Need holding off for a bit but went ahead and ordered the SCT-3001 mount for my tikka T3x.  Considering using one scope for a few different rifles.  My main goal is just to get one hell of a mount that I never have to worry about and frankly am sick of lapping rings.  I’ll throw a little review on here when it arrives and I have the chance to m… Read more

Guess I lost track of this one.  Still haven’t purchased a rangefinder.  Reinstall condsidering either a Leica or a Sig Kilo BDX. 

One issue I have with the BDX is the software doesn’t seem to allow me to enter a custom zero.  From plying with it a little I have to use a preset zero (eg. 100, 200 etc).  I use the PBR method and usually zero my… Read more

So sounds like they need to be devoted with an epoxy of some sort.  What would be the effect of installing without epoxy?

Thx.    Kind of what I was expecting.   

What are your thoughts on muzzle velocity?  Most of my reading suggests a 26” barrel for both the 7mm mag and the 300 win mag yet Tikka is running a 24.3” in their standard rifle and a 23.7” in the Varmint.

Sounds like a great “new” toy.  Love to hear how it goes.

I’m just heading out this afternoon for a hunt.  Agree with the two rifle approach.  I’m taking a 6.5CM and a 30-06.

Best of luck in the hunt.

Excellent, thx!

We've had great accuracy with the Barnes TTSX 165gr for factory ammo if you looking for options.
1-2″ @ 200yrds consistantly.

if you do get into hand loading for that rifle hit me up…i can share some intel you will enjoy at the range.

I finally got a response from Tikka and looks like it more or less alights with what I learned:

“Hi, depending the manufacturing date of your rifle there should be serial number (or just thee last digits) engraved to the bolt. You should only use the original bolt of the rifle!” 

Thx guys.  Was looking for a 300 win mag then I was at my local gun shop and he had a used T3 300wsm for one heck of a price…and of course after a little bit of discussion the price got even more attractive.  You can probably see where I am going with this….I now own a T3 300WSM.  Guess I’ll be adding my thoughts after I go to the range on S… Read more

All good information…I actually did not know the bolts carried the same serial number.

The two of mine did not carry the exact numbering but a portion thereof.

Examples:
Rifle s/n T45681V
Bolt number T4568

Rifle s/n CV54298
Bolt number 298

So no response from Tikka yet….dang!!!  :'(

So I headed down into the basement and figured I would take my fancy calipers from work and do a bit of measuring.  Every single dimension that I measured seemed to line up exact.  They are both the exact same length so no issues with head space.  Bolt diameter, face, lugs, etc….all measuring the… Read more

Still looking for feedback as I am only going off of info I have found inline.

One more comment….this link says the bolt faces are exactly the same

I also found this Sami Link showing the dimensions of different cases….

BTW….here are a few pics of before and after the fix. Cosmetically not the prettiest but has worked extremely well.  You also can’t see it when the rifle is assembled.

That actually makes sense.  Gonna try that first.  I have access to a quality caliper.

I have also reached out to Tikka to find out if there are and distinguishable markings on the different bolts.  Ie.  part, serial, or model number.

Thx guys.  Not sure what a go no go guage is.  Anyone have links or pics so I can look at one?  Is this a mechanics tool or a gunsmith type tool?

I have two T3 Varmint stocks sitting on my workbench.

Took them off my T3 .223 and ,22-250 when I shifted to MDT chassis.

If you are interested I'll send you one just for the cost of shipping.

That’s awesome.  Really do appreciate the offer.  Love the support!!! 

I’m going to pass though as my fox worked quite well and actually lookin… Read more

Completed the repair with great results.  Seems as strong as new.  Basically followed the crack with a sharp point soldering iron and the folded the molten material back over on itself.

Sorry for no pics of the actual process but things happened pretty quick and didn’t want to have it cool on me while working it.

I’ll get some before and after… Read more

Direct quote from Tikka:
“Hi, the material is injection molded polypropylene glass fiber composite.”
So it looks like the next move is some plastic welding.  I’ll post an update when I get it done.

If this does not work I will be going the route of a direct replacement Tikka stock.

More response from me
That was a spectacular diy
Here in the states we don’t see that option usually.  I would make this my first choice if I had the option, but we will need to spread the word in the meantime.
Not to put too delicate a point on it, what kind of cost are we looking at?

I purchased for $155 canadian delivered.

Two options for pu… Read more

I would also like to know this if anyone has any info.

Just want to make sure that I understand.  Without placing your finger anywhere near the trigger, when cocked and ready to fire, the firing pin would release when you put the safety on?  Thats pretty crazy and extremely concerning.

Really interested in the response from Cabelas/Tikka.  Can you share it with us.

Install complete.  Very reasonable process. 

Will create an install thread soon.  Is this the right section (Equipment) to create it in?

I have a plan.  Kalix Teknik replies to my questions on their Facebook page through IM.  I will be doing the install this weekend and will post how it goes for anyone else performing the install.

Thanks for the reply.  I agree with all of Your comments.  From the little information I have been able to gather since creating this post there is a way to remove the grate and foam however still can’t find any formal documentation or pics of how to do it.  I have reached out to both tikka and Kalix Teknik for more info.  In the meantime I wel… Read more
