Thread: Tiika t3 7mm08/284

Arthur Cleland reamed my last chamber from a T3 7mm-08 to a .284

I’m not running 160’s but 140’s instead and loving them.

Other things to factor in is you’ll need a long bolt stop and also the larger magazine.

Other than that your good to go

I have done two - one for me and one for a hunting mate. I’m running 162 ELD-X with 2213sc at a mild 2740 fps but accurate. Both rifles reamed by Dave Ward in Dovedale. Mine has had the face of the action machined off to flatten it and a traditional tombstone lug added and all bedded into a factory stock. It’s my go to rifle of the four I own and I would take some convincing to ever sell it.

As Seventenths says, a long bolt stop (Dean Maisey supplied for $60 posted from memory) and long mag will be needed. Mine was originally a .25-06, so had those anyway. Bought my 7-08 barrel unfired on here.
