    Tikka T3 barrel on a older M595

    Does anybody know if the Tikka T3 and M595 have the same tenons diameter? Can a T3 barrel be bolted on to a M595?
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes i believe so. Obviously headspace will need to be checked.

    I know I put a trg22 barrel on my 595 and an awesome bit of kit.
    I know that the tikka barrels screw straight into a sako 85 action as done that as well.
    Ask hardys as they have done mine

    AFAIK, Tikka M55/65, M590/595, 690/695, T3, Sako 75/85 and probably more (Tikka/Sako) are all interchangeable - with headspace checked.

    Yea, I'd love to replace my M595 1in12 twist with something allowing heavier pills

    Same tenon, same thread pitch, you might have to install a spacer in front of the action though, as the T3s thread is longer than the M595s.

    Moose man, I'm not any way engineering minded
    but is it possible to change over a 695 270
    to 7m rem mag using the t3 barrel?

    Me neither but the bolt face would have to be opened up ( not sure if that can be done on the 695 )as the 7mm Rem is larger than the 270. If that could be done I suppose a 7mm Rem barrel could be fitted to a 695 in 270 cal, there may be other small issues with magazine and feeding but a gunsmith should know what's possible and what's not.

    My Mod 695 was a 7mm Rem so it only required the barrel to be fitted.

    So had a T3 6.5prc barrel fitted to my M595 today and bolt face opened up. Screwed straight on, headspace was a touch long so the gun smith had to set the barrel back 7 thou. So nearly interchangeable.
