Your baits to fresh mate, you need to put in weeks and weeks of burley to have a chance of catching before Brads or Toblerone :DQuote:

Old story is dont fuck with the fat kid.
I put a few rounds through a Tikka 270 actually, but it struggled to group better than 3" at 100m. Wasn't very impressive.
Sorry to burst your bubble gb but dont blame the rifle.
First check the chambering and then check whats pulking the trigger.
I reiterate only a thought?
On side note. Fuck im having a fun night tonight!
Goes better than mine thenQuote:

Tikkas are ok, but some people seem to think they're something amazing when really they're just middle of the road. Handled another mates wood/stainless T3 Hunter, much nicer shape/balance/feel than the plastic ones but haven't fired that one.
Jesus spook we can't go that far back now. Gibo still hadn't accepted he was lacking back then:)Quote:

Taihape and surrounds is filled with dickheads that shoot paper with flash rfles and scopes.
There hasnt been a deer shot in tis area for 7.5 years but we have an active deerstalkers association that encourages paper shooting where you get trophys and prize money so we can buy meat to feed our familys.
Little do you know but you have driven through some of the best hunting in nz .
Feel welcome to call in to our humble town and sample our hospitality but please supply your own fire wood.
Regards Andy
Just been to the range and now home.
Sitting here getting bored so thought id crank this thread up againAttachment 28430
yep you would have to sell both rifles as a package nearly brought 2 tikka 595's like that a few months ago 308 and 7mm-08 using one boltQuote:

So I thought I'd update this in case anyone else ever has this issue.
After talking to a few gunsmiths, the probability on a Tikka bolt being interchangeable is very high.
The process of checking the head spacing is actually a relatively simple one.
Basically there are head spacing gauges you can rent or buy. (workshop innovation sells and rents them - $30 to rent)
There are 2-3 gauges, a "go" and a "no go" and a "field"
The "field" is not applicable in this situation.
He also said there was no need to remove the extractor although others recommend it.
A couple of links relating to the subject below:
Gunsmithing - How to Measure Headspace on a Bolt Action Rifle - YouTube
Brownells - Forster Headspace Gauges - YouTube
Anyway, I purchased another Tikka in 260, had the smith check the head spacing on my old rifle/new bolt and it was good to go.
Fired 50 rounds or so yesterday. All good.
Having seen it done, I'd be confident to do it myself if I ever had to again. Hopefully I never will.
However if I were to, I would probably have hire the gauges, go to the store and confirmed it was going to work prior to purchasing.
As a side note the new tikka shoots. Very happy.
sub .5moa easy.
Shit group! Cant have been a Tikka :D :thumbsup:
Watch out the tikka haters will get you!Quote:

Very true ... in bang for buck terms they're a star ... and the rifle outshoots the ability of the owner in most cases any way - certainly in mine ...Quote:

I think i might have a spare tikka bolt mate.....
I had to get a new one when i thought i lost one. Turns out i found it so i have two now.
Or you could just sell me your boltless rifle?
