Thread: Tikka hardy rifle

Anyone tried the hardy/tikka custom conversion, held one today

I like the look of the barrel. Not too worried about the stock. Im thinking of converting a new t3x into a 6.5 creedmoor using one of his carbon barrels. so will be watching this thread with anticipation.

Yep I have had two for a while now one in .223 and one in .260AI had them done about a year a go but with senator stocks.
Both shoot well and are great to carry at about 3.4kg with Z5 and Gen 5 can.

Asking as I found the one I held today to be unbalanced.

I guess it depends on barrel length and scope weight your ballance point always changes even when fitting a can.

I thought they'd be lighter than that with the carbon wrapped tube actually. Just put my Mod 7 SAUM (22" heavy barrel) on a diet with Stug stock and fluted/lightened metal work, and its that weight with fairly heavy Vortex Viper and a DPT magnum.

Agree completely , the rifle was scopeless, which may not have helped, it felt muzzle heavy without the can, looks good though.

Yea they are not as light as I thought either but if you compare them to a 25mm solid barrel they are way lighter.

I remember when we were men, and it didn't occur to us to care what a rifle weighed, or what fraction of moa it shot, we zeroed at 200yds and killed everything we pointed it at out to 300yds without fuss, with whatever ammunition we happened to get our hands on. And we walked barefoot in the frost and stood in cow pats to warm our feet up too, sigh, oh for back when we were men...........

And sheep were frightened

Did. There are drawbacks to Blasers I have discovered.

Saw a few the other day in H&F. Seriously cool piece of kit - but not for me at that price.

Yeah, they look nice and will surely shoot well. But I'll wait for a Sako Finnlight to come up and get it seen to by Stu and save money... But heck. They do look good!

So what do they cost? And weigh? Don't have a H&F handy
