Great video brother. I have been looking at getting into my first bolt gun and learned about the tikka. Since you've had the gun for a while now I wonder what your thoughts are. Might give it a go if your review is still good.
Man sorry for the late response. Hands down one of my favorite factory rifles/actions. Stuck a proof prefit on it and it’s an absolute hammer. Not that it wasn’t before. 10/10 recommend
That’s what I heard as well. May not be a bad option. I’ve grown to like the Tikka mags now I’ve picked up a few more and have gotten some time with them
I pulled the follower and spring out of the top of the magazine and bent the spring to put even upwards pressure on the cartridge so they would not nose dive when cycling
This is a self adhering camo ace bandage or vet wrap. I think it’s the mcnett camo form specifically. It’s nice because it doesn’t leave that glue residue and only sticks to itself
I had one of the old remington 700 300BLK rifles years ago. It didn't shoot particularly good, but it was a fun rifle.
They’re incredibly fun, especially suppressed. I’ve been surprised at the accuracy I am able to get out of my custom 300blk bolt gun
Great vid, like the idea of a 16”
Thanks for the support! I agree, they’re incredibly handy
I recently picked up a ruger ranch chamber in 7.62*39. Got a ak mag adapter for it its a little bit cheaper to train with than 54r
Very nice! Hope x39 isn’t eating a hole in your pocketbook right now with pricing and availability
Great video brother 👍
Thanks for the support!

You can actually use AICS mags with minimal mods. If i have understood correctly, all you need to do is to bend the mag catch hole on the mag a little

Is that an all factory rifle from Tikka? Never heard of a 1/11 twist 300 BLK.
The first rifle was in 300blk. The Tac A1 is in 308 and 1:11 twist. I did just put a proof on the Tac A1 though
@@hkrifleworks OH! I missed that, doing some tractor work while I'm watching, must have gotten distracted
Cool discussion on short precision rifles. I take it that’s Grayboe Ridgeback?? Where did you pick it up?
Thanks!
Isaac
Thanks Isaac! It is a ridgeback. I snagged this direct but red hawk is a dealer I believe and they stay pretty stocked up with bottom metal deals too
What You did with the tikka magazin to work better?
I pulled the follower and spring out of the top of the magazine and bent the spring to put even upwards pressure on the cartridge so they would not nose dive when cycling
Thx!@@hkrifleworks
Hey, what tape do you use to wrap the scope?
This is a self adhering camo ace bandage or vet wrap. I think it’s the mcnett camo form specifically. It’s nice because it doesn’t leave that glue residue and only sticks to itself
What twist rate are you running on the 300 BLK? Have you hand loaded the Barnes 110 TTSX’s?
1/7 on this one. Not yet, just 110 V Maxes but get the most range and accuracy out of the 125 flavor bullets. 125 TMK’s are what I’m shooting now
Is that an Anarchy or sterk bolt handle?
Sterk on this rifle but I have an Anarchy on another CTR. Prefer Sterk but AO is pretty solid too
@@hkrifleworks does the AO stick out further from the stock than the sterk? Or are they swept back at the same angle and same distance from the stock?
45gr of Varget. 175 SMK. 2.8OAL
43.5gr TAC 175gr SMK 2.8OAL
Send it
Settled on 42.2 of Varget with 175 SMK’s. These tikkas have a fairly generous freebore so I’m about .020” off. Great load thus far though
0moa base?
20 MOA Badger COMM
@@hkrifleworks u didnt say that in video uuuuu didnt saaaay thaaaaat
Mentioned the COMM at 9:05 just not 20 MOA. Good catch lol
What is the action and barrel on the 300 blackout? I didn't hear you say what that build was.
Whoops! It’s a Bighorn Origin and a a Shilen prefit. Has been great so far
