    tikka m695 bolt release replacement or spare??

    Well today is a very sad day for me. I broke my bolt release on my tikka m695 and well I cannot find one and it seems like they might be discontinued. If anyone knows someone who has one or where to get one please let me know. I just talked to a manufacturer who said all these models should have...

    Can someone explain Idaho trophy draws moose, goats, rams? And reg controlled game draws

    I was just wondering how the trophy hunts affect regular controlled game? I have never put in for a "trophy" hunt in idaho but seeing as I am getting older I figured I might as well give it a shot. Is it if you put in for trophy you can't put in for elk, deer, antelope? Or is it if you don't...

    Question for the tikka junkies

    Thank you for this input. Exactly the type of info i am looking for. I didn't realize carbon 6 were working with McGowen blanks that makes things very interesting :) I will dive down that rabbit hole now. I think I am just going to buy a tikka LA and try to build a 6.5-284. Dad always shot one...

    Thoughts on 6.5-284

    Yeah I really want one bad. They seem very accurate and Im over the creedmoor just too slow for my liking. I will probably run a 22" barrel maybe 24" because I will have a can on it sometimes. It would be awesome to get 2900 with a 22" barrel. I would mainly run 143's (140grain weight class) and...

    Thoughts on 6.5-284

    Anyone have any insight on putting a 6.5-284 barrel on a tikka t3x action? Sounds like i would need a long action bolt stop to make it work? The only thing is the CTR mags are limited at 2.950 is that going to be a problem?
