Looks like I'd need all types of export/ import licences as its a ' tactical' firearm so I'll just have to pay

Road trip to Finland might be cheaper

Which businesses, and how much does the FTSE effect your day to day life (unless you work in the Stock Exchange)?

ARM was bought yesterday for £26 billion but it won't affect you you're leaving. The main thing is we have sovereignty back.

The other view is the FTSE100 is higher than it was before. Firms from all over the world are buying into business and big new contracts have been signed since the vote. Its the best thing the UK could do is leave the EU.
I want to be able to vote for who's in charge not be told.

Like the comic bits it make a change from the normal you tube clips.

We also now have our own independence day  😀

Makes a nice change for us getting something first  ;D

I don't think it is in the link on the first post its on the Sako stand at a show. Read on face book that its going to be a Tikka stock option.

Looks nice and hopefully its priced to compete with the Ruger

139gr Matchking ? Do they make one
If you mean 140 SMK then N560 is a slower powder and better than N140 in the 6.5×55. start load is 45.2 and max 48.3 in the Vhit load book. check what bullet you have first though. start low and pressure test.

You could Devcon the lug into the stock

I really like the GRS stocks and have four. The first one I bought about 5 years ago and is on a 204 foxing rifle it is the adjustable hunting stock. The next is a .223 in a GRS sporter stock, then there's a .260 in a long range and lastly a 308 in a Hybrid. Three of these rifle are Tikkas and one Howa the Tikkas fitted straight away onto the… Read more

Recall hot line number is 1-800-503-8869 serial numbers involved are 419410 – 461951

I think this was back in 2004

I'm not waiting for anything but hope all is going well for you. I know whats its like with your own business and its not easy. Good luck
Pete

Possibly the bullet is not stabilising until its gone past 100 yards

Bought 300 lapua .260 cases a couple of months ago with no problems at all.

Your English is fine.

Have they got a web site please

What company makes them and where about in Italy? Ta

Have you not got a hardware shop (translates to store in US ;D) near you that sells wire snap rings? (no idea what a wire snap ring is called in the US)

I don't know it eighter, I live in Hungary. 🙂 I will try to find one tough… Thanks for the tip!

I keep thinking everyone on here's from the states. If you're in Hungary then order one from the… Read more

I've not got one in front of me but from what I remember once the cup is over it the spring can't come off so bending it back to size might be ok. Its sprung steel so should be ok to close up again and push the cup over. For peace of mind though a new one is probably best.

Sorry only just seen this and sorry for the misunderstanding.  Pull back the cup at the front of the spring and you will find a small clip once that is prized off it all comes apart.

Dismantling is easy. Holding the bolt twist the rear cap clockwise, away from the bolt handle, it should then slide off. Return to original position turning anti clockwise but not to far. Put a small allen key (US Hex wrench)  in between the hole you can now see and turn anti clockwise.

Or watch this

Nice post Eric thanks for the info

I wish he would ship to the Uk. I've been looking for one for ages.

The stop for the firing pin is not the back of the bolt face but right up the other end of the bolt. My firing pin was protruding 84 thou and my other Tikkas were 54 thou so we machined 20 thou off the end. It now shoots fine and doesn't hole primers. 
I have know idea how it became longer or if it was when new. Its done thousands of rounds and… Read more

I've seen rails put on with screws that are to long and rub on the bolt. Might be worth checking

Is shipping to the UK pos?

Let us know if you get the .5 moa group with the weaver scope. Well done to Vortex for the refund, if it was me I would have gone for another Vortex scope just for the customer service. I have two 6-24×56 PST that are great.

Pete – have you tried taking your bolt apart to see if you can spot anything unusual?  –  Todd

Hi Todd

Yep took it apart but everything looks good. I have re faced the end of the bolt by 20Thou and it now shoots fine. I've put about 100 rounds through since and no holed primers at all (before it would hole every round). We measured a few T3 firing p… Read more

Problem solved.

Thanks for the assistance.

Bob

Hi Bob
I would love to know what the problem was as I have the opposite problem with the firing pin holing primers because it's coming out to far

Pete

Personally I've never had any factory ammo shot consistent sub 1 moa groups. My .308 T3 shoots 1/2 moa groups with home loads but that took a while to get the load developed.
Might be worth loading your own

496 yards 1.708 inch 5 shot group from my T3 with 260 rem barrel shooting berger140s

25 grains of reloader 10 powder.

In the UK Valkyrie rifles for £5.

Welcome to the forum. The trigger can be made quite nice with an after market spring that cost very little but makes a big difference.

Sorry to drag up and old thread but 35, 45 or 52 anyone know?
Think I found the answer in this thread https://tikkashooters.com/public_html/gunsmithing/tightening-the-action-screws-on-a-t3/

Very nice I can see another build happening

GRS stocks are very nice and if the cost is too much there's a few showing up second hand these days.

My .308 shooting last week @ 300yards before a comp.

What caliber do you have , if it's like mine a .223 you have to slightly modify the Al mag to fit ,

Yep already had to do that on my .223 thats in a GRS stock. The Evo is going on a 308 and should be here today.  🙂

I've just ordered a third eye stock they are very nice. When you reload you should get 1/2moa groups if you spend enough time developing.

I'd be very interested in one. Std length is fine in my .204. 

I tried 69 grain sierra match kings in mine and they wouldn't stabilise, I found 55gr much better until I changed the barrel to a 1-9 twist.

Hey tisme… could u give me your inner oal measurement of your acis mags? I need to know if my loads will fit.

Hi
2.888 is the inner OAL of my AICS mag.

What kind of mag system are you useing? Im shooting berger bullets cause i cant get my ogive to the lands so im curious how others are handling this issue with reloads.

I have the same problem so I fitted a bottom metal to take ACIS mags. Still couldn't get the berger 155 near the lands. I don't think they would get near even if you only just… Read more

My .223 T3 burnt holes in primers when the loads got hot. I had to take it down .6 grains to stop it but they were very high to start with.

Now let us know if they are available to citizens of the United States of America.

Yes or No?

I can get them here in the Uk and US citizens can buy here so yes. Better ask Tikka or the importer in the US if you want to buy them there.

I was told Hornady had a problem with some ammo being over length, it could be the ammo you have.

Sent a while ago, just checking you got them.

They look big because they are very close, just like the cows in the field look small because they are a long way off
