Tikka T3 Bolt problems

[gollum257]

Everybody worries about plastic!

Kind of ironic isn't it but the smart guys first choice in a bulletproof handgun is a Glock. (LOL)

Oh, and by the way ITS NOT PLASTIC it's graphite on the T3

Ummm...no. Its some form of thermoplastic.

Looks like Graphite to mee

If it were graphite the rifle would cost many x as much. It's plastic. Very fancy teh space age plastic, but plastic.

Geezuz can't you guys read...T-3's are made from a co-polymer/fiberglass blend... this is one of the strongest and lightest synthetics period.

Don't matter a whole bunch how the rifle looks, its how it performs. I too love the look of a nice wood stock, but they tend to get beat up when hunting them. If I could have a safe/range queen, I would get something with a great wood stock, but for out in the bush where it counts, I'll take my T3 any day.

Bringing this back from the dead ... I broke the plastic shroud on my T3 today. Don't know if it had anything to do with a pierced primer - I don't really see a connection. The bolt was tight, lifted it up & split off a thin strip of the plastic that locks it onto the bolt. Looks fine from the outside, but it just slides off now.

I somehow cracked the bolt shroud on my T-3 when I first got it. If you call Stoeger Canada, the Canadian distributor, they will send you a new shroud. Their # is (905) 436-9077.

You can't break the shroud because :

[bigstickpilot]

plastique?

you anti-plasticers should talk to some Glock owners.

...............Plastic is for sipee cups and toy cap guns.





.....................oh and Stevens 200 trigger guards!!!

I recall a post in the last couple of weeks you discussing extraction/ejection problems with your ruger

Anyways the shroud is nothing more than a dust/dirt cover, which other manufactures don't include anyways.

Thanks Scott, they've got one in the mail to me. No charge, apparently they must do this regularly.

notin wrong with a peice of plastic.....ive got the m658 took it to the range at -25 shot a box of shells, curious how it would do in the cold and NO problems!

There is PLASTIC parts on a tikka bolt!! I guess I won't be buying a tikka any time soon

Plastic? No. it's a high end polymer that is a big reason for the Tikka/Sako action to be so smooth and slick - don't worry, you won't ever wear it out!

McDonalds sells more hamburgers than anyone else in the world.

Sales do not = Quality.

Yes. I should buy a new rifle, lets say a 700, and then bed it and fix or buy a new trigger for it to shoot as good as my Tikka.

Doesn't make sense. I'd take a Tikka over a 700 ANY DAY, unless we get into the higher end ones. And even then, i'd be better off with a Sako.
