Tikka t3 mods, what does everyone have

[Bmcox86]

Just wondering what kind of mods everyone has done to their t3s? Muzzle breaks, stocks? Post some pics and tell me how they improved the gun

[HighCountryHunter88]

I just painted mine with a texture paint because I couldn't stand how smooth the stock was

[liljozie495]

My 300wsm t3 lite... Bell and Carlson stock was all it needed to be comfortable and solid to shoot... No need for a muzzle break unless you got a 338 haha

[Come Get Some]

If I had one which I probably never will I would consider putting a recoil lug in it.

[Bmcox86]

What's that level for next to the scope for?

[dreamunelk]

Put a limbsaver recoil pad on.  tack driver that does not make me wimper.

[Come Get Some]

 Looks like either a level or the bolt

For Mounting The Scope Level With The Gun

Scratches, gave it some character.

You have never actually pulled a stock on one huh? Tightest fitting factory stock I have ever seen with a pretty stout recoil lug. That accuracy guarantee they give is no joke, they really shoot.

[BULLBLASTER]

Probably for making sure the rifle is level for taking longer shots.

[jackelope]

That B/C stock kind of helps everything I don't like about Tikka's. Does it still shoot like it's supposed to?

With a level on the scope and a level on top of the action, my guess is he's mounting/leveling a new scope.

I also put a bell and carlson stock on my tikka love the feel over the factory stock but have not had a chance to go shoot it after i got the new stock.

[JohnVH]

I just made sure the barrel was clear of the stock, put a limbsaver on it (stock was a tad short for me and that spaced it enough), and go out and shoot.  Gun needs nothing but a steady guy holding it to be a tackdriver. Id buy another in a heartbeat.

I would agree with the top scope level and use of the other level on the rail. I have a level that is mounted to my scope that stays on all the Time for leveling up prior to shooting. May not be the case here but might. Just like a level in a archery sight.

300 wsm for me. No mods except a scope. Nice gun.

yeah, that!

[Bmcox86]

Dropped mine off yesterday to get a muzzle break put on and he's going to set the trigger for me. Should have it back by wenesday. Thinking of a b&c stock down the road.

What's everyone paying for their stocks?

[mountainman]

Only think better is to top it with a good vortex!

[carpsniperg2]

I have done a few to most of mine. The one that I went crazy on is the 300wsm. I re built the magazine and added some new mods to it to run long heavy bullets like the 190 and 210 bergers to a COAL that I wanted. I also made this mod because it was flattening then noses on some of the bullets in the magazine like the accubond.

In doing this mod I also had to replace the bolt stop to get the rifle to cycle the now longer rounds. So it is now a long action short mag I have been loving it even more since the mods. I will be painting the stock after my next trade show when I find some time.

[KFhunter]

If I were going to mod something it would be a Remington,  they need it.


Tikka is a grab and go gun, top it with some decent glass and go hunt,  beat the snot out of it, drop it whatever.  It's disposable.

Limbsaver and Talleys.

[Eli346]

I just put a Limbsaver on my 300 WSM and adjusted the trigger to about 2  3/4 lbs. I've never had a better shooter but I'm not one to punch a lot of paper. About a dozen animals later and it still has me smiling when I shoot it.

[Bmcox86]

Picking up my 300 tomorrow with new muzzle brake, going to sight it in Friday, I'll have pics soon!

[yeos]

I had a Redfield Revolution 3-9x40 with Tikka specific Warne rings at my first sight in. It definitely kicks in 308! I've since installed a limbsaver and will be picking up a quake claw sling for it.

[Bmcox86]

Muzzle brake done! Will take more pics at the range. I might add a b&c stock later but this is it for now. Limbersaver, muzzle brake, dnz rings, vortex viper 6-20x44
