Siwash Report post Posted November 19, 2017 I have a lefty .270 T3 Lite that has been my primary Coues rig since 2012. Bought it new in 2008. I have another .270 and as venerable as the caliber is I really do not need two. I'm thinking a 6.5x284 would meet my Coues needs...anyone on here have experience with putting a new barrel on a T3? I'm in Tucson but have no problem working with a PHX gunsmith if anyone can recommend someone versed in Tikkas. Thanks for looking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10Turkeys Report post Posted November 19, 2017 From what I understand the Tikkas have metric threads on them, and not a whole lot of gunsmith want to deal with them. I know a guy in the Tucson area that will. If you want his contact info, post up and say so, them I will PM you his info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STOMP442 Report post Posted November 20, 2017 Tikkas are about as simple as it gets. I have built a few of them and all shoot great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Farmboy876 Report post Posted November 22, 2017 I second Craigs Custom Rifles. Tikkas are great actions that are smooth and have a shorter bolt throw than a rem 700. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
