Little gift for myself

Gun looks great. I’m not sure why anyone would want a loudener on the front of a hunting rifle though. Especially a 6.5 cm

It really completes the ensemble.

Beautiful setup, Tikka makes a fine rifle! You may want to replace that muzzle break with a thread cap when out in the woods, your ears with thank you later!

My advice is bad, SuperCub & todbartell are correct, removing the muzzle break can change the point of impact up to 6" at 200 yards from what I read on other posts. Best to sight in the same format as when you hunt!​

Nice build.

What did he build? It's literally a factory rifle with a scope mounted lol

^^^ Well maybe so but it wasn't a package deal. He did have to source out the parts to build it.

Removing the brake will most likely change barrel harmonics thus requiring a different load for accuracy.

or at the least, a possibly substantial point of impact shift

Hello everyone
I am new on this forum. I just bought myself a Tikka T3X CTR Multicam 6.5 CRMR PICA 20” mounted with a Burris Signature HD 5-25x50 mm 6.5 CM Illuminated FFP. I also add a muzzle break Precision Armament Hypertap 6.5 mm. I will it mostly for deer hunting.
Question is: What are you thinking about it?

It's a Tika.....

The 5-25 scope might not be the best choice for a close range driven hunt but for general deer hunting very useable. I often use 4-16, 3-20, 5-25, 3-27 PMII scopes. They often balance the rifle better and bring the COG closer to, or onto the recoil line of the rifle making it easier to shoot. Nothing wrong with the 6.5CM CTR either.
