If you're going to re-barrel, look at the Bartlein 5R and the Lilja barrels. Might as well have the action tried and blueprinted while you're at it. The next custom rifle I have built will likely be built on a Tikka action. I've shot a couple with Bartlein and Lilja barrels and they were awesome!

Spare tikka t3 mag is 1.75 ounces. LOL.

Just curious How that is a terrible solution?

Hi Nick

I have some flush ones one their way from Finland.

Hopefully they arrive next week

Thanks Jason. I'll keep an eye out for them. That price is crazy, though. What is the deal with the mags for the CTR and TRG? I'm mean, what makes them so proud of these things? It's cheaper than seat repair; but….DANG, that's stupid expensive. Like ALL of… Read more

I feel your pain – it's a silly and annoying feature, for precisely the reason you stated, for sure! Sux that we have to “deal with it” but they sure are sweet shooters.

Why not carry a spare mag so you can just swap out your mag after your shot or shots?
I think they call that a tactical reload.
Its always good to carry a spare anyways.
