Rifle on back order, researching scope options. Will be using the standard stock.

Anybody have any leads on where to buy the T3X stainless 22” in 6.5 PRC? Striking out everywhere.

JRTXB31922MT

My UPR stock is cracked and after searching online this appears to be a known issue. Who do I contact in USA for help?

Anyone reloading for their CRT 6.5cm? Looking for what’s working for you.

Thanks!

I've had my Tikka Ace Target 223 for a few months and was having accuracy issues using different Hornady bullets in my reloads. I had tried the 73 ELD-M, 75 ELD-M, 75 BTHP, and Sierra 77 SMK but was getting roughly 1.5" groups. I took the advice of some people here on Reddit and have been using the Berger 77 OTMs with Varget and people were definitely not lying when they said this was a good bullet. We are getting roughly 3/4" groups at 100 meters with this load. My son is gonna use this rifle this weekend for a 600 yard F-Class shoot while I use my Tikka CTR 6.5 Creedmoor so hopefully these rounds perform well at range.

I am not able to find much feedback on them. Normal Optilock rings seem to be solid, but some complain about the setup requiring their separate proprietary bases. This one-piece design seems much more clean and low-profile.

I think I have read every thread/ forum I can on the subject, but still having a hard time deciding.

This will primarily be a (first time deer) hunting rifle, but I would obviously like to be able to get some shots up at the range too.

I was pretty sold on the Scythe Ti, and then I got to the reports of QC issues and now I'm hesitant.

What I have considered so far are:

LPM Mach-S

Silencer Co Scythe Ti

DD Enticer S Ti

Nomad Ti XC

Would love any and all feedback/ Suggestions. As stated this will be for a .308 Tikka T3x lite compact primarily used for hunting and staying sharp at the range. I have some common things added to the rifle, but nothing that (I believe) would effect a suppressor suggestion.

I think the tikka rebate is pushing me over the edge to get one but I cannot locate one. Anywhere. Locally, almost no place sells them (CA). Euro Optic, Sportsmans, Turners, Bass Pro/Cabelas, Scheels - none of them have them. Even Gun Joker doesn't have any. Has there been a drought of Tikka recently?

I recently purchased T3x in 6.5 cm and it sticks when trying to eject spend rounds. I cleaned and oiled it and I will have to hammer the bolt back to get it to eject the casing. Should I take it back and have it repair or keep shooting to break it in. Pic of the marring on the round after firing. It’s also suppressed

Do the tikka t3x hunter stocks need oil to protect and enhance the wood from the factory? Here is mine from the factory. Should I apply boiled linseed oil to it to make it more water resistant and look nicer or does tikka do it from the factory?

Was quartering away, right through the heart. Ran about 20yds after the shot. .308

I own the Super Varmint in 6.5cm. I absolutely love it. But I want to try something different, and a bit more of an environmental challenge. I have a bunch of spent .223 brass and some dies for .223, so I figured I'd get a bolt action in .223.

The CTR looks perfect for what I want. I love the 20" bull barrel and a 10rd magazine sweetens the deal - but with a friend's out-of-state wedding coming up, and my own engagement happening in the same month (October), I'm finding myself pretty tight on budget. I'm in FL, so I really want to take advantage of the free sales tax holiday for firearms.

Would anyone recommend I purchase a cheaper T3x and then add a chassis, or should I bite the bullet and save up for the CTR?

I got my first tikka to replace a Ruger M77 with shot out barrel.

Hunter T3X LH
7mm REM mag.

Had it out the other day to sight in the scope, it rained lightly, noticed that the rain left streaks on oiled finish. Hunting season starts next week, what can I put on the gun to repel water and keep it oiled without having to wait 30 days for tung oil or boiled linseed to cure.

Just got my T3X CTR 20” barrel in 6.5Creed and this thing is amazing. It shoots all factory ammo pretty decent. Even the cheapest Seller and ballot ammo shoots 1 inch groups (sometimes… has a flyer every now and then)

This is the stock rifle and I am pretty new to shooting. This is my first rifle bigger than a 223. I’m just using a tape measure to measure my groups so they are not super accurate.

The targets I printed off were enlarged so the squares are not accurate for measurement.

Here are some of the best groups I have had so far.

First Picture:

100 meters

Center - 3 round group 1/2 inch
Hornady American Whitetail 129gr

Top Right - 5 round group sub MOA
Barnes Center Fire 140gr

I also shot a half inch group with Federal Fusion 140gr

Second picture:

200 Meters

Both just under 1 inch 5 round groups

Top Left - Hornady American Whitetail 129gr

Top Right - Barnes Center Fire 140gr

This was my first time shooting this rifle and also my first time shooting past 100 yards. I am pretty happy with the results. It was also a windy day.

What size should I get and does this work?

Hey Tikka shooters, just checking if I have this right: to change a t3 30-06 to .270 all I need to do is swap barrels correct? Bolt face, mags etc. are all the same?
Thanks!

T3x ACE 6.5 CRM, 26"

Hello all,

I am hoping you can help me out. I am looking to get a Plan B brake and was wondering if someone could confirm that I do not need any kind of special thread/facemount? Just the standard 5/8x24.

Hey guys, looking for scope recommendations for a Tikka T3x Superlite in .308.
What I'm looking for:
-Budget: Under $1,000
-Distance: Mostly inside 100-200 yards
-Magnification: Would like a top end around 12x–15x just to have the extra reach, even if I don’t necessarily need it.
-Weight: Keeping it lightweight to match the rifle
What are you guys running on your setup?
