Nice rig Mayfly, any ideas what the overall weight is on that one?
I'm thinking of making something similar based on a Tikka M595, which is the heavier older brother to your T3.

she is 10.7lbs/4.85kg as pictured on empty mag! what caliber is your tikka?
Here is my latest. Thanks to Brads for the rifle and Abe for doing the metal work.
The original bare rifle weighed 7lb 3.5oz.
I made a new carbon fibre stock for it. I tried a few new things and got the weight of the stock down to 16.5 oz. The factory stock, with a limbsaver was 40oz.
Fluting the barrel saved 5 oz, fluting bolt saved 0.8oz, lightweight firing pin saved 1.8oz. Abe also made a radial brake for it.
Weight of finished bare rifle is 5lb 4.2 oz. With the scope (Bushnell 6500 2.5 -16 x 42) and low Talley rings the final weight of the rifle is 6lb 10 oz.
Haven't finished working up loads yet. Working on 162 a-max for long range and 140 accubond as the close-up load.
