Custom built LH tikka bolt?

[bdb.hunting]

Alright so I know this is likely a very very long shot but I’m trying everything to get my hands on a second bolt for my tikka in the 308 bolt face family for my left hand CTR but pretty much no chance without buying another rifle.

Is there any possibility that someone could potentially make me a bolt ? I know a shop in the states made some right hand ones but no lefties!

Can we do it or should I just cry and buy another rifle and just keep a spare action around ?

Cheers,
B

LRI makes an aftermarket bolt for the T3's https://www.longriflesinc.com/products/lri-tikka-replacement-bolts?_pos=1&_sid=97db1dc78&_ss=r I don't know if they ship to Canada but you could contact them to find out

Sadly right hands only!

I know this is a bit of an old thread but I’m looking at the LRI Tikka bolt as well, any idea what shipping or duty are?

Did you try contacting Stoeger Canada who is the main tikka importer? Bolts are a little iffy, as they need to be head spaced to be safe, so not all manufacturers will sell to the general public, but its worth an inquiry.

Hey,

I actually had one made by PR Precision. Stoeger would do it but I had to send in the rifle and the barrel and they had a bunch of rules etc plus the cost was insane. Stoeger is great dont get me wrong but it was just a pain and not worth it. Kinda like getting the Artic sights it costs about as much as a decent scope -_-
