Tikka T3 barrel and action is one piece??

[Brianma65]

So I just got my new T3 Varminter HB and realized that the barrel and action are constructed of one solid piece. So I guess this helps in accuracy but once you shoot out the barrel she's toast? Just throw away the action and barrel ?

View attachment 44568That's the best fit I've seen, you can't even see where it attaches...

Nope, two pieces. Just a nice fit without a visible seam.

Nope, two pieces. Just a nice fit without a visible seam .... Whew, I thought I bought a disposable gun

If it was one piece it would be 2 to 3 times the price. The only firearms I am aware of where the barrel is integral to the receiver are revolvers and some really old semi-auto pistols like the C96.

Ha Ha, it looked like one piece , I've only recently started to notice these things, the only other gun that I could compare it to was a rem 700. But now I've been schooled... But it is possible though.

not gonna blame you. they did make this a really nice and tight fit. but two pieces.

 

[Brianma65]

Ok, I admit I thought it was a one piece solid barrel and action. And I thought , ok this gotta be good for accuracy but as I said to my buddy " do you just throw away the barrel and action when it's shot out, and keep the plastic stock. LOL. I was kinda like ,WTF. Gotta say though, this is a very nice rifle .

The Tikka is an inexpensive, lean design executed very, very well. That's an excellent example of superior fit and Finnish.

You must have been kidding [!]
However, that is a testament to the quality of fitment with Tikka's and why I love them so much!

I was talking to a local gunsmith near me and he hates working on Tikkas as the barrel into action fit is so tight that it is almost impossible to remove the factory barrel.
