    My ideas where first of all get rid of the plastic fantastic stock and replace it with something like a Stug stock, then maybe a true filte tube chambered in 6.5x55 wouldn't hurt either. Next would be work on the action so I was thinking maybe replace the action with one of those ones from HRE and then it'd be like a New Zealand tikka aye.

    Is that plan solid or what? Any help will be much appreciated

    Cheers


    You could ask Dean Maisey what he thinks you should do with your Tikka, prolly do it quite quickly for you too....

    @Toby. I get the thinking. A bit of fun sure, but, considering the current forum atmosphere probably not the wisest thread to start?
    We need less shitty threads and more constructive ones. You've time to burn. Write up another good diving/fishing/hunting one. Raise the bar, not lower it.

    Yes, but he was just trying to make us laugh again, sometimes that's healthy

    See if you can fire the Yildz down the barrel from the muzzle end and open it up to a decent calibre for a starter!

    How to make an AWESOME firearm out of a Tikka .

    1) Take it out of the box it came in
    2) Use it

    Its your head that needs fixing young @Toby

    Just as an aside "Blaser" means Blowjob in Swiss German. I kid you not.

    If you buy a Tikka make sure the first thing you do is fill the magazine well up with bog and just use it single shot, other wise you will spend minimum of 6k buying new magazines in a few years and only need one shot anyway.

    Also the plastic trigger guards are crap, so I make a sweet one out of No. 8 wire welded and bent into shape, looks mint and will never break.
    Didn't replace the factory stock, but thought it was a bit heavy so cut a massive hole out of the butt, so now its a custom hardcore thumbhole, looks sick!

    Forget the Tikka, buy something a bit classier like an Axis or 770
