Thread: Carbon Fibre Tikka T3 Rifles

I've been wanting a carbon stock for my Sako and Tikka for a while. But I can reload a lot of ammo for the price of a new carbon stock. One day I will pick up cheaper second had one on the forums or Trademe.

I'm struggling to get my head around a total weight of 1.6 kgs ???

2.5kgs is what I heard with all the fruit and seems more realistic

Theres one in H&F Napier

Need to weigh it without suppressor

They even made the bolt handle from CF

It will certainly please the rich Jaffa or people who like the carbon look or pimping their piece, Each to their own of course.
But if you need a light weight rifle for hunting ,a factory model 7 or kimber is going to be hard to beat for the one or two shots it takes in order to kill a deer.
That was the reflexion I had a few years back when Greg Duley wrote his articles on pimping the ruger and 15 years ago when a mate of mine was raving about the Steyr scout.

well Gadgetman, like they say "opinions are like arseholes.....everyone's got one".....you sure do

I hope the CF bolt handle lasts longer than CF bolt body....

The Tikka action & bolt weighs roughly the same as a LA Remington... 2.5-3.0 kgs seems closer to the mark.

Hardy Carbon barrels are nice & light

Dans smithing is probably better than the smith that made that bolt body.......

Fixed it.

Each to their own. It just doesn't spin my wheels but fine for anyone that does like it. If it was me I'd just spend the money on a better class of firearm rather than sinking more money in than a new one costs to personalise a budget firearm. You can buy a rice burner and pimp it out to look like a used Euro car, or you could spend the same money and buy a good used Merc AMG. I'm a tight arse, I'd still just buy a budget whatever and largely leave it at that. But I still admire a nice piece if kit.

he should put dpts on them

How true. Just add a trigger lightening to 2lb and it is a bloody shooter and robot reliable.The Tikka stock does the job very well.

he might have to reduce the price again... why would you pay US$750 for a Hardy Barrel whe you could buy a Bartlein for US$350?

To be fair, he is competing against the likes of proof research not bartlein.
