Tikka 308

NWMA · Dec 22, 2016

Tikka T3 in 308 with MDT chassis. Magpul furniture and a folding unit, also from MDT. Barrel has been threaded, and added a 20moa base.

The trigger on this rifle is phenomenal, very impressive for a stock gun. The action is incredibly smooth as well.

I haven't shot this rifle a lot yet, but at a recent class I made good hits out to 1,000 yards with it.

I wanted a light weight gun that can reach out to the limits of the cartridge/shooter, something that could be carried comfortably for miles as well as stowed as compactly as possible. So far I'm very happy with it. Looking forward to running this through its paces more.

The hinge does not lock in the open position, but it locks up tightly when closed.

Neat-O. You mentioned the barrel is threaded; are you running a can on the rifle?

Not yet. I filed a few F1s before the deadline last year. Patiently (or not so patiently) waiting on them...

Did you weigh the barreled action alone, by any chance? And a final weight? I'm looking at the MDT LSS for a Howa build. I'd like to have a walking coyote rifle, but with a 6.5lb (24" heavy barrel) action, that may be tough!

I'm traveling and don't know the weight off the top of my head. I can tell you that the MDT piece is about as light as you can find. V7 sells a lightweight buffer tube ($) and you can find lighter buttstocks. If you leave the folder off it will shed weight as well.

A Leupold scope will also keep weight down. I have a Vortex and they are heavy.
