It’s time for me to buy a tikka. Just so I can bedazzle it with these fancy parts. Might have to build a 7prc
Just did this yesterday. My saga with my T3X in 7-mag was I sold it on #######, Canada Post lost the gun, I reimbursed the seller and started getting the process ready for insurance claim. *Suddenly* Canada post found it, sent it to a secure facility to check the package, then forwarded it off to the original recipient. He did a return to sender, but since it was "technically" sent from the secure facility - that's where it was sent. I even got a notification that they received it, but now it's once again lost, and now
without insurance on the contents since it was shipped with a new tracking number.
In the meantime, I was planning a build around it. So, I had a threaded bolt handle with a knob, an Mcarbo trigger spring, titanium recoil lug, pillars, action screws, and a Limbsaver replacement pad. I got so tired of waiting for the gun to come back to me (originally shipped May 26th) I finally broke down and grabbed a T3X stainless laminate in 7-mag yesteday (since I still have dies, brass, and about a hundred rounds of factory 7-mag ammo). It may become a 7PRC in the future. It was either this one or a synthetic superlight - I like a bit more heft in the barrel and it'll be a bit less "kicky" with the extra ounces.
Gonna send Paul a note on Monday to get me an aluminum bottom metal then drill out the stock holes and epoxy the aluminum pillars in place. I might add a bit of epoxy into the recoil lug channel to bed it as well.
as for PAUL He Most Certainly is a Great fellow to deal with and a GREAT machinist too !
