Tikka Mods

[skidderman]

Are Tikka rifles easy to mode and are aftermarket parts easily available? I know. I think too much!!!!

Buy a Remington, the Tikka doesn't need mods.

Am looking at a tikka right now. If I bought it I would like to shave a half a pound off of it. Is that realistic? Already has fluted barrel. If it's a dumb question so be it. Reason I can't look at a remington is because I want it in 300 wsm with a removable mag. Can't get that in a remington.

Buy a metal shroud, and drop it into a wildcat stock. You will lose your 1/2 pound.

I personally would look for a full length 300wm over the wsm in the tikka.

X2. And turn the trigger down to 2 lbs and add talley rings and the scope of your choice. No other mods required.

Ya there are quite a few mods out there. But they shoot so good as is, you don't need many. Especially with the T3X. I've owned 2, and both shot around 1/2 moa with cheap ammo. 3 round groups.
But I did buy a titanium recoil lug for my 270wsm. But you can get chassis for them. MDT makes them.
A company in Montana named Mountain Tactical, all they do is make Accesories for Tikkas. They are tikka fanatics. They got custom picatinny rail. Bottom metal, stocks, and they are always building more Accesories. Same with Lumley's out of Australia. They make a bunch of custom stuff. That's where I got the recoil lug.
And that mountain tactical has really reasonable shipping rates.
