I was looking through a Tikka owners manual that I recently found online and it didn’t specify a torque spec for those screws. It listed torque numbers for Action Screws, Sight Screws, Muzzle Brake, and Opti-Loc fasreners.

66 Bullseyes

To update this thread – I ended up getting a Rem Varmint contour barrel from Krieger as a starting point. I had Krieger reduce the diameter of the breach end to 1.150″ to be more compatible with the Tikka action. We did have to open the barrel channel in the T3 stock slightly.

It sounds like the cartridge is a little too long for your chamber. Try applying permanent marker over the entire bullet. Then carefully insert the cartridge by hand. First try firmly pushing on the back of the cartridge with your finger and then remove the cartridge to have a look. (you might need to push it out with a cleaning rod) Where on the bullet is the marker color scraped or smudged?

On my hunting rifle I use a Vais radial brake.

I came back to this forum looking for action screw torque recommendation and found this old thread. I ended up using Varget behind a 55 gr Blitzking. More recently I’ve realized this barrel is on its last shots. It fouls terribly so I can only get a few good groups before they open up.

I like to use the 140 gr Hybrid from Berger in my .260 Rem. It has a 8.5 twist, but then I shoot at 5000' elevation.

Man, that sounds like a bummer of an outing!

I'm trying to better understand — were you able to shoot some number of rounds before the problems started? Or was it troublesome right away?

66 Bullseyes

Yeah, I was hoping someone would chime in on your question. I haven't taken the time to study the firing pin assembly to see how it might be taken apart.

Are you familiar with how auto engine valves are held on? Where there is a plate on the valve spring and a couple “keepers” which drop into the plate and fit into a notch on the valve stem? The Tikka firing pin might have that sort of set up.
