Any COL issues with a 7 saum on a Tikka?

Definitely not running it as a LA. My 175gr sit perfect around 3.1 so the 3.4 is plenty

Nope. Load them long!

Is that using the 300WM factory mag?

Yep works great.

Well heck, throwing a prefit on a 300WM Tikka sounds like the easy button for sure.

Yep. Carbon6 will do whatever length and twist, but they wouldn't cut a different freebore so I have to find someone local to throat it for that 3.1 length

 

[blacktail sniper]

Hey mine is near identical.

Tikka t3x stainless action
20” carbon six 1-8 twist
Area 419 20 Moa rail
Zeiss ultralight medium rings
Zeiss v4 6-24x50
Mesa precision altitude stock
Trigger spring
Shooting 168 Bergers at 2800 FPS
Ultra 9 suppressor (when It gets here)
Cheap but light magpul bipod
Still waiting on the suppressor of course. (Currently at 280 days since check cashed)
One thing I would change next time is to not get a saami spec chamber. Would like to run bullets out a little further or even some heavies but it shoots great so can’t complain.

What stock is that?

What stock is that?

Mesa precision altitude they are made by ag composites

Just took my 2nd critter with my 7mm SAUM build. My first Coues, 425yds. The first was a 7 x 6 bull taken at 325yds.

22" Proof Sendero
Bighorn Origin SA (hinge floorplate w/ Wyatt standard box)
Vortex Razor LHT 3-15x42
Alterra Arms Stock
Timney HIT Trigger
Area 419 Brake

As you see it (minus the bipod), loaded with scope cover = 9.0 lbs.

I'm on this 7SAUM suppressed train as well. I just ordered a 20" 7SAUM LA Tikka Prefit a few weeks ago through C6. They now have a custom throat reamer so you can throat longer. I didn't have brass yet so had UnknownMunitions make a dummy round with 155gr Hammers that I'll send in to them to throat for. They'll also put the barrel on my action.

I just sent the bolt and action to LRI today for bolt fluting and cerakote.

Also, just got a call from Mesa Precision on the stock and they'll have that sent out in a couple weeks.

Only thing I have left to buy for rifle parts is the suppressor, scope and mounts. Going with a TBAC Gen2 Ultra 7, but haven't decided on scope.

This is my first go around building a rifle, pretty fun! Hopefully will have it all put together and ready for spring bear, well without the suppressor any way.

Good to know if I ever have another barrel done for this. Sounds like a fun build and I've certainly enjoyed picking out all the parts for mine. I'm wondering now if I should just torque it up and shoot some lighter weight bullets to break the barrel in and have it throated afterwards. Guess it depends if that gunsmith will throat a shot barrel

The Hammers are insensitive to seating depth; you may want to throat for a long range bullet

I need to quit reading this thread before I convince myself that I need an 18" barreled 7saum. I do already have the TBAC Ultra 7 on the way.

You need one. All the cool kids are doing it. You're already halfway there.

Am I helping?

Go 20. At 18” you are getting close to 7-08.

Yeah you might be getting close to a 24" 7-08. You still are 150-200fps faster than a 18" 7-08.

I'm already convinced. I'm swapping my 26in tube for a 18 from C6 to run my Dead Air Nomad LT.

It is a harris bipod. I tried an atlas. I just like dependability of a harris. Two shots I had it zero. One shot bore sighted, and the next dead center. two more for the group all touching. Five more shots, including a group, (600 yards) had my dope for the shooter app. This is with 160 accubonds, but I think this rifle will shoot anything.

It has killed two elk. (110 yards, 15 yards), A whitetail at 560 (I think it was a touch further because I was a bit low and I think I kept ranging a log 40 yards in front of him, still one shot), three bears, some yotes, a wolf and lots of rock chucks (for practice at long range). I have only had it for two years.

my friend and dealer sent the action and bore off to a guy in south or north dakota. Iwish I knew who. It took a long time to have that work done but I do know he does a lot of the long range shooters stuff.

My friends (who I work for now) brother in law does a lot of long range competitions, shoots a 300 prc and swears if he does another build it wiil be a 7 saum.

18in SAUM blank arrived today from Carbon Six. Pretty surprised it showed up. Just under 3 months, I was expecting at least 6 month wait. Heading to the smith to get it spun for 150 classic hunters. Now if my Eform can just slide through for my Nomad LT.
