Needs a Bear name

Tikka the Pooh?

Forgert the tikka battue, behold the tikka balloo!

As a former Boy Scout that one is kind of fun, just the bare necessities.

You all are really reading into the title of the thread.

What's important is this excellent idea for add ons to the T3 .338 WM

I was not surprised that someone else had already done pretty much the same thing to a Tikka as I did, I was very close to buying a Kodiak 85 in 338 and concerns about ejector issues as well as thinking the stock was a poor fit for me, got me thinking about doing something similar on a budget. Obviously the name game is just a fun way to share ideas, some people have fun on this site others well....

No offence intended. I'm sure we aren't the only two who have done this. I know andy from skinner designed this for his own .338 (federal).

Trust me if you see the banana I'm having a good time...

Spirit. Tikka Spirit. Enough said.

I call my thumper what it is "my shortened to 21" barreled Rem 700 LSS in 375RUM" says it all without some goofy pet name = its just a rifle...

Now there's a mouth full! Compared to that "Ole Smokey" rolls off the tongue easily, goofy or not.

Ursus. Latin Bear

 

[Deerdr]

URSUS HORRIBLUS. Grizzly Bear Latin

Since the rifle is of Finnish make name it Karhu, which if I remember correctly is Finn for Bear.

Tikka McTikkaface?

I see what you did there.

Even though it rolls of the tongue I have to ask what is an "ole smokey" a 22LR or ???

Depends on who's doing the talking, a 12 year old might be referring to his rimfire squirrel rifle, whereas I might call mine "Spitball" but don't. A Unique "T" Dioptra demands greater respect.

Call it Bear Grease, or Bear Meat. You grease bears with it.

KodiTac?

Actually, I think that "Karhu", mentioned a couple of times above, is perfect.
