Remove that screw; should be only 4 main screws, that rail may be for different rifles. I bought mountain tactical pic rail with extra steel lug for large hole was more money but excellent! But only really need 4 main screws on rail .. hoping it didn’t damage the pic rail

Sorry to hear that issue; the only three issues from my understanding is twist rate, bore diameter, bullet diameter and fourth might be damage near crown as bullet exits to cause that but the damage at end of barrel should make all bullets act the same

I reached out last year to the importer for chamber issue on new rifle but decided to fix it…

Do you have dealer info from montana. I would have thought they would post their dealer list on the website

Thanks

Are you USA based? I tried PSE Composite site once and got no response on how to purchase in USA

Thanks

Shows before and after of my son shooting 175gr Federal and how much recoil by looking at snaps of the video and barrel in relationship to dirt pile in background

LabRadar work this weekend with factory ammo:

Tikka Superlite – 6.5 Creedmoor 24.3″ – stainless barrel: (saving the ammo) (about 60 rounds through barrel)

Hornady 147 ELD-M at 2657 x2 (same velocity)

Hornady 143 ELD-X at 2648 and 2668

Hornady 140 ELD-M at 2705 x1

Armscor 123 at 2895 x1

Aguila 140 at 2621 x1

I picked up a new T3x Superlite rem mag a few weeks ago and found some 175gr hunting ammo to test next week end (I hope)

You should be good up to about 180gr if your worried about stability; the hard part is finding ammo

If you hand load this shows berger 180 vld as marginally ok for 9.5 twist

Twist Rate Stability Calculator

Just some thing you can check:

If the action screw in rear is too long or too torqued and hits the under side of the rear bolt it will cause drag on the underside of the firing pin assembly (safety indicator bar?)

You can test by moving action screws and then manipulating the bolt to see if it still drags the same without rear screw and verify…

Plastic Trigger Guard : 1oz

Total 6lbs 3oz

Welcome!

I too am a Tikka fan and don’t mind the factory stock, its more ridgid than Ruger American stock I had .. I just purchased my second superlite in 7mm mag and found that it too touches the stock a little bit but will grind it like my 6.5 creed with 4inch grinder .. I’m hoping to add prefit barrel for other calibers for this mag bolt face…

Had to add matching 7mm Rem Mag to little 6.5 creedmoor superlite ..so I can have magnum bolt face with long action options

Next step take it all apart and fix stock touch on barrel; add titanium brake

Sounds odd for sure; I would verify the barrel is not touching even though it should not; I use new dollar bills to check all the way back to action. Verify the two action screw torque’s

I think those stocks have built in recoil lug. hopefully its fully engaged to action and then contact Bell and Carlson support for any known issues people have reported

I have Tikka T3x Superlite with plastic stock not exactly the same but I had to take the stock off and grind two points for plastic rib reinforcements that touched and left plastic on barrel and also I gently opened the sides as they touched. The stock was in my left hand braced against solid table and grinder in other hand

I used a 4 inch dewalt…

I believe the screw size is 6-48 after 2004; I would try a 6-48 tap to see if it will clean out plastic out of threads; check it in clean hole first to insure size is correct for tap

I got mine out of same rifle but was thinking this is not going to come out as it was a fight

Thanks… good to know for sure for future scope mounts!

Almost seems like the rail screws were bad or not tight; I tried to get some factory service for my Tx3 but its been weeks and nothing but the original auto response email that we will get back to you shortly; I ended up fixing my chamber issue my self.

I would remove scope and then rail and see if those factory screws could be removed and replace…

Couple close ups

Nemo Brake is amazing works so well on 6.5 creedmoor; picture below was captured as rifle fired resting on table; very little movement up or back… a bit of movement rear and up shooting offhand, this was a 5.56 bore brake (didnt measure the original hole size) opened up .030 over .264 to .294 inside and had the 1/2×28 threads because the Tikka…

FYI:

I got impatient waiting for support RMA; polished chamber my self; removed bolt and did this:

Step 1:

Took wooden dowel 3/8′ thick and cut 1.5″ slit on one end with thin Dremel about 1/4 inch deep and small piece of tape to hold it, the dowel was about 12-13 inches long. Cut wet/dry 400 grit 1.5″ wide and rapped it till it was just smaller than…

I’m going to do something like this for the polish section as mine is rough for sure better after cleaning but needs work; recently had to fix my chamber as it was rough and extraction and way over heavy bolt lift after firing

this is link for spare parts with instructions.. small parts kit might be handy:…

That was my thought this Nemo Arms was 1.3 oz so Its not noticeable from balance point of view after threading and the gunsmith timed the shoulder to be TDC as the brake has the two holes on top; testing Sat or Sunday to see how it does and to check my polishing of bore issue for crappy extraction of case from chamber

Thanks for reply; have not heard back from Beretta the importer as Tikka USA website has no support information, got my auto response of we will get back to your shortly a few weeks ago. I think I will just fix the bore myself with a little mild polishing and test it again.

Too bad really as it balances so nice and the 6.5 Creedmoor is such a nice…

I too am hoping for good result for adding one; i have new tikka t3x superlite that had a muzzle diameter too small for 5/8×24 so i had gunsmith thread 1/2×28 then purchased nemo arms titanium ar15 break with 1/2×28 then had him ream to .030 over .264 bullet diameter and then shoulder it for tdc when tight. Hoping to test the combo out next…

Quick review of Tikka T3x superlite in 6.5 creedmoor:

Likes:

Very Light: Mine measured 6lbs 2oz

Great Balance in hands

Seems accurate but only breaking done thus far while setting up new scope

24.3″ barrel fluted compared to the more common 22″ hunters and still as light for tad more velocity

The rifle is only available at CabelasBassPro (strata camo)…

I really like the new US Optics TS-12X; non illuminated but good glass and I found a lower price about $375 which includes shipping at Georgia Gun Store; most retailers are selling at new inflated prices of $565.00

I wanted light weight for my superlite t3x in 6.5 creedmoor; this one is short (9.6″) also good 3+ on diopter for my old eyes, with the…

I recently bought new T3x superlite in 6.5 creedmoor; I have what I think is headspace issue but not sure.

The bolt cycles smooth without ammo but when I went to break it in I found heavy bolt lift after firing; I had taken apart and fully cleaned the weapon on purchase to include the bolt

I also noticed fired cases had scratches from chamber near…
