I recently bought a new Tikka T3X from a dealer. Took the stock off. Cleaned all the factory oil off and set the trigger at 2.5 pounds.
I have around 100 rounds through it now and am closing in on load for the 156 grain Mega.
The last shooing session I would here a click just before the trigger broke. It started to occur more and more. It won’t do it every time but a couple of times when it did happen, I noticed out of the corner of my eye the bolt handle moved ever so slightly.
Is this something that I can fix myself?
I have some good Arkansas oil stones if all it takes is a bit of polishing somewhere and am not afraid to tackle the job.
If it’s something that I can do myself I will but don’t want have to send it away as I have a bear hunt planned in the next week and I want to use this rifle.
I also understand the rule that little is more.
If anyone has a solution I would appreciate the input.
Before it started doing this it was working fine.

Have you tried going back in and adjusting the trigger to a slightly heavier pull?

What about installing the Yodave spring for $10?

I’m wondering why the bolt handle is moving ever so slightly up. It’s like the bolt handle makes a twitch just before it breaks.
I can’t hear it but can feel a slight “click” for the lack of a better term when it happens. Everything looks ok.
Also it doesn’t happen ever shot.
 
If it's new, I would send it in for warranty rather than monkeying around with it and voiding said warranty.

I've never heard of anyone having problems with a Tikka trigger (other than just wanting it below the 2-2.5# you can get normally from it)
