Tikka T3x Won’t Fire

[Gila]

Whoa whoa whoa! In/lbs not ft/lbs. common mistake but there is a big difference.

Good catch...Good thing I use a Fat Wrench, eh?

I have had this problem with my Tikka T3 300 Win Mag for years now. Have had light primer strikes on a moose, bear and caribou and thankfully got second shot on all three and didn't miss out, but this situation is dangerous. It fires fine when sighting it in but when I get out in the cooler fall weather this happens but the second shot always works. Have taken the firing pin out of the bolt assembly and degreased it a couple of times and only used a dry lube on it after that. Everything looks perfect. Have contacted Berette but they want me to send the rifle in and I just don't want to go through that hassle and cost of sending it in. Personally, I'd never buy another Tikka. Need to order a new firing pin assembly to see if that fixes the problem. Just thought I'd comment so others can see that this is not a unique problem.
