I am using the Tikka LA mags and I’m loaded at standard OAL. 162 eldX at 2920fps out of a 22” Bartlein #13. Little heavy for a hunting build but it just under 11lbs scoped without bipod. NX8 4-32 with Grayboe stock.
I have a t3x lite blued takeoff barrel that I marked up a little bit taking it off. Went to carbon proof 6.5cm. It was a bit of a shame taking the factory barrel off because it was damned accurate.
Bought this as a complete rifle for a donor action. Came off unscathed in very good condition. Guy I got it from said he put about 50 rounds down it. Asking $80 shipped.
I just took off a factory t3x lite barrel off for a 280ai build I’m doing. Came off easy and didn’t mar it up. Guy I got it from says he put 50 rounds down it. Let me know what you think. JAOutdoors sells them for $125. I’d ship it for $75
I have the Bergara B14 in 300WM and it’s a great rifle with tons of aftermarket accessories available. Mine is in an AG composite stock with a Leupold VX6 4-24 and without bipod weighs 9.5lbs. I have a tikka in 6.5CM which is also a sweet rig. The downfall to the long action tikka is stock...
I pulled this cert from the Snake River Standoff PRS match this March. It was the best thing on the table when I got to walk. I’m not going to use it even though I want to. This will save you $300+ depending on how you set it up. I’d like a $100 plus whatever shipping costs are.
I had my bolt fluted and cerakoted by LRI. Looks amazing. My brother had a 300WM carbon Bartlein barrel chambered by them also and it’s a rail gun. They also take pictures during each stage of the process and post them to your account which is pretty awesome.
