Wondering if anyone has found a trigger lock which will fit a Tikka T3X Sporter rifle properly without removing the bolt? I haven't found anything yet that will fit right. Thanks in advance.

Too much wood in the way for a regular or combination lock. Can't get in close enough. Wood is quite thick close to the trigger guard. If the "ratchet" pin was longer on the standard lock it would probably work ok

I am not talking about home storage, I am talking about transporting the rifle with a trigger lock.

Local rcmp require a trigger lock to transport. Not sure if that rule applies everywhere but it isn't worth the hassle here
There is no such requirement to transport non restricted firearms. Just another case of the RCMP making up their own regulations, and if they are allowed to get away with it, who knows what they will try next?
I like to see myself as level headed about this stuff but it really bothers me to hear that police officers make up their own rules to enforce. That's a significant step beyond the "open to interpretation" that you usually hear as an excuse.

A few of our club members, myself included, keep a copy of the RCMP pamphlet on the requirements for safe storage and transportation of the different classes of firearms in my shooting bag.
I really doubt producing it and suggesting, even tactfully, that they read their own policies would be popular, but it may prevent your gun from being seized, unjustly or otherwise.
I'd suggest stopping in at the local detachment and requesting several copies of that pamphlet. If it's only one officer that's the problem, requesting copies of that pamphlet may raise a few eyebrows and get some questions asked all by itself. If it's a detachment-wide issue, that would be harder to deal with, but not impossible.
Document number is CAFC 1238 EF (2008/10) V2
There may be a newer version available now, but I don't think that part of the law has changed.
As I said in my first post, I usually trigger-lock all my guns during transport anyway. I'd really rather not have to face a thief that broke into my car pointing my own gun at me. The trigger lock won't stop them forever, but it'll slow them down.
