Tikka Build

[cbrown]

I ordered a Carbon Six Tikka prefit barrel and looking for stock options.

The barrel is a Sendero profile carbon.

Let me see what y’all have done stock wise ln your Tikkas.

Also, did you stay with factory drop mag or go with something else?

KRG bravo or XLR element come to mind. I have two elements and had a bravo. Both are acceptable IMO. I like the simplicity of the elements.


Sierracharlie out....

Tikka action, Bartlien barrel, Bell and Carlson stock. Stayed with factory mag but replaced bottom metal with mountain tactical products.

I have a mesa carbon stock on several tikkas. They are great.

I did an Iota Kremlin stock. Kept factory mag. Change trigger spring to set at 1lb. Check out Iota rifle stock web. They had a 40% Cyber sale on stocks going on. May be too late. I ordered an EkoX stock yesterday.

My current main hunting rig is a 7mm-08 in a bravo frame. I currently have a Sako S20 hunter that is quickly replacing this as my go to. Action is as good, trigger is a little better.

notice the cheek piece is removed, with that scope I get perfect sight with the cheek piece removed. I used an AICS magazine

That looks terribly uncomfortable. Lol

Before I google, could someone summarize the difficulty of doing the barrel swap and stock?

Not really, I guess I have a big head. I position the rifle prone with eyes closed. When I open my eyes the alignment is perfect and that is the most comfortable thing. Other option is to go to the Sportsmatch high rings. I use them on another Tikka because the scope will not clear the barrel with the low. I like to keep the scope pretty close to the barrel.

Take out the 2 screws, lift out barrel, adjust trigger if you want, put in bravo frame making sure you position recoil lug, put in 2 screws to torque spec. 15 minutes if you take your time.

Thanks, easy. What about removing the barrel ?

Tack driver. 1/2 inch groups at 200. I have my longest kill with it yet on a doe at 800yds. Best group has been sub moa at 885yds with factory ammo. Chambered in 7mm mag with I believe a 23" barrel.

Built it for hunting. As it sits in the pics it has a leupold 3-15x44 VX5 HD. Total weight with the rifle, rail, mounts, and scope it is at 8lbs 15oz. So definitely not an ultralight model but not a bench gun either.
