Thread: Remington in a Spot of Bother

If they made a machined accurate action with a Timney good trigger with their 5r barrels and a better stock and charged the same as a tikka they would do a lot better. There are a lot of custom rifles here in nz being made from 700 actions and having another $700 ish spent on them to make them good and changing barrel, trigger and stock and they shoot great why not do it themselves. That's what the market wants.

No one clones a tikka t3 action because why would you. Too light for heavy long or just long barrels which is what the rage is.
Tikka t3 is very popular because it is the most pushed rifle by the big brand retailers. Not because it is the best rifle. I've seen them doing it in the shops. They thrust a t3 at an unsuspecting young guy and when they are not sure they pull down a browning x bolt and the customer say that's nice.
I will probably get flack from the t3 brigade. Sorry but I can't stand them. Browning all the way.
