Thread: what would a second hand tikka T3 bolt be worth?

Long Rifles Inc are making Tikka T3 bolts now: https://www.snipershide.com/shooting...bolts.7044482/

PT&G have been making Remmy 700 and model seven bolts for a while too, think they do Howa/Weatherby as well.

If you live in the USA a true switch barrel rifle might be within reach of the 'garage gunsmith' especially with variable shoulder prefits.

Everywhere else in the world (apart from Canada, maybe?) the import fees and licensing kill the idea in the cradle.
