Tikka upgrades?

[PSE]

I can see why he'd feel like he should, i shoot 0.6 MOA out of a stock ruger with factory ammo that was probably half the price....

Sure you do

Sure you do

Just think what he could do with a Tikka Varmint and a tailored hand load?

Exactly
This is why when I sold off my Tikka's I bought a Savage Axis not the coolest gun on the rack but it shoots beyond it's price point with a commercial spring brought down the trigger pull to 3 pounds

You sold your butter smooth tikka for an axis?

Very little difference between a savage and a tikka. For the price point I'd choose the Savage.

Ha Haha GREAT troll . RJ

The Wildcat on my newest Tikka is by far the best upgrade I’ve done to them. Very light and stiff.

Yes they are and SAVEs 8-10 oz in weight ! RJ

The best upgrade for a Tikka is for the shooter to learn how to shoot.

Shooting isn't an issue. But thanks for tip

you already have one of the best rifle, and you are not happy with it.
There's not much to say other then: buy a target rifle, something cheaper to shoot.

I never said I'm not happy with it. I was just curious if anyone had done any worth while upgrades or mods.
I love this rifle. It's my go to.

The best upgrade is more quality range time learning how to comfortably and accurately and efficiently shoot the rifle.

Possibly an apprenticeship on a T1x before jumping straight to a T3x could be a good idea too. Stay humble!

Like I said to others, I'm new to the forum but not shooting. I have a pretty good shot, but could always improve I guess.
I was more wondering if anyone had done any upgrades or mods just because.

I'm not sure what stock is used on that model, but if its shooting 3/4" already you're probably not going to gain a whole pile. You might gain more by making the rifle more comfortable to shoot.
I'd make sure the barrel is entirely free-floated near the action. My CTR wasn't, only took 3 minutes with a dremel to clearance the 2-3" ahead of the action. A higher cheek pad or adjustable comb to get the best cheek weld wouldn't hurt. I needed to do that with my A7 roughtech. I swapped out the recoil pad on my A7 to a limbsaver, made a noticeable difference in comfort with my unbraked 7rm. I put 50rds downrange for load dev last spring and could have easily tolerated 50 more with the limbsaver. With the factory pad I was starting to bruise at 30.
A $20 McCarbo or YoDave trigger spring will drop your trigger pull down below 1lb if you want it that light. That wouldn't hurt accuracy, but alot of guys don't want to hunt with a trigger that light.
Sounds like it's a shooter as it is, good luck!
