Tikka t3 mods, what does everyone have
« on: January 22, 2014, 07:24:43 PM »
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

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

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
Boom boom boom...

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

Scratches, gave it some character.

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

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.
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

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

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 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.
