looks amazing Dorian Gray -- thats a specialised masi mount i think, looks like great clearance.
im thinking for my intended combo, ill need to remove the rib /sight for starters- leave the front on for now also but see if can get enough clearance without the Rib !

I had one in 30-06 with a wood stock. It had a MaSi QD mount. Great rifle.
So I handled the Gun in-person today at the LGS.
I'm liking it! An I'm excited,but don't know who to tell,...my missus won't get me, Only a Gun Nut would.
It has come with a 5 Shot (Long action) Magazine.....
You beauty.
I don't like it how it sits down below where I would normally palm in a Carry scenerio...but I'll either get used to it- or pending eventually strike out on a 3 shot but the prices are not friendly to have spare or back up.
Means I can run the 308 projies out without any Mag length issues!
Might be good for those 180grainers stoked up with Varget.
Looks like about a Week or two will have the Permit to Acquire---
It is a little crazy times down under regarding guns an ownership caps but I put this one in my Partners License
Cheers Nutterz!!

If it came with a la mag, it might already have a modded bolt stop.
its new in box , a couple years ago now he owned a shop, an if you bougght 4 or 5 guns from the wholesaler, they would throw in a freebie for the business , he said!
So he has a bunch of unfired, older T3s- it is something i will pull apart when i get it home an check but am prepared to file down the Bolt stop.
id say its just been chopped and changed, shelved without a magazine an a pile of magazine from the magazine drawer etc etc.
hes closed up shop due to the Big C a few years ago, finally just getting around to selling off some inventory.
be great if this was the case but i dont see it being so
Alright!
so ive got my Battue home!!
i picked it up whilst i was at work today on my delivery run
ive filed back the Bolt stop. We are picking up .308 rounds from the Large magazine. winning!!!!!
im about to sabotage it and rip the Sights off!
lets gooo!
2.8kg bare- open sites, 5shot mag empty an no sling hooks.

They file them back to allow the bolt a longer throw back, i soon witnessed why,..
With a long ler magazine, the bullets are further back than the bolt goes- it doesn't pick them up!
My bolt stop wasn't ideal one piece metal- it was sectioned, hollowed out, so I had to be careful , trial an error with how much , so as the bolt doesn't wiggle and slide out on the throw back etc...
You can buy Modded Bolt stop Kits too BTW $ for what it is
If you didn’t know - in Finnish, Tikka means woodpecker. The reason they called the rifle this is because like a woodpecker it drills one hole.lol.
Here's the run down.
A Tikka is costing $1800-2000+ these days new.
I came across this 20 inch barrel Tikka T3 for a Grand.
Already had a 20 inch barrel , so saved about $300 on cutting a barrel an freight etc.
I took the sites straight off as I I tend to hunt with Scope as a bush gun , esp with nice short barrel.
Alot of secondhand T3 s are up in Prices and actually fairly rare to see them come up for sale for a reasonable price.
All would of had a 22 inch barrel.
This certainly doesn't seem to be a Woodpecker!
Struggling to get Groups happening this far in testing.
Had to lighten the trigger a bit , was but too heavy. Much better now.
Try some more groups tomorrow an see where it's at.
