Tikka T3x $60 Mandatory Upgrades for Ultimate Performance - Tikka T3x Lite Veil Apline is a Winner!

[@MatthewEspinosa]

$10 trigger spring also. Will drop pull weight to 2 lbs. Super easy to install.

[@TXHAWGKILLA]

Fact. Honestly, I have been pretty happy with the stock trigger with no adjustment. I have killed several hogs and a couple coyotes.

[@J_Un1t]

Honestly the factory springs with the adjustment turned out is dang good and gives me some piece of mind for drop safety

[@Ca_Tule_Ninja]

Swap out the barrel to a 7mm PRC is the best upgrade

[@mikehobbs7421]

100% agree and if you don’t go with the proprietary tikka/Sako rings you might need a better comb height and for that the Mathew’s fabrication kydex cheek riser is budget minded and quality that really brings the t3x as a stock rifle into the almost perfect level for a no frills hunting rig! Cheers from Canada eh 🍻🇨🇦🤘

[@pens87668]

I run Leupolds STD rings on mine with a Vortex Viper HS 2.5-10x44 scope. Gives me a perfect eye relief/check rest.

[@trevorkolmatycki4042]

I would also recommend installing pillar bedding and aluminum bottom metal.

[@onerahtokonmc7703]

My took t3x came with bottom metal installed, aluminum block

[@domingomercado8340]

awesome, thanks 👍.

[@carlmarks6145]

Is the receiver steel or aluminum?😊

[@zachandress6886]

Could you add the link to that exact limbsaver I have the same gun and need to upgrade.

[@DreamConundrum]

Look for part number 10826 LimbSaver AirTech recoil pad.

[@gaylantucker281]

Which limbsaver model did you use on the that veil camo I have that same rifle. Thanks for your help. I am also a Texas Tikka hog popper.

[@wrigman]

You NEED to replace the stock recoil lug. The stock one is only good for about 500 rounds before it’s no good…..

[@TXHAWGKILLA]

@@wrigman Yes. I have heard that. The good thing, I doubt I will ever shoot 500 rounds in its lifetime.

[@dohiii]

I did the exact same with mine. Now, just thinking about the arca rail from Mountain Tatical? Anyone have reviews?

[@keaganmcintyre5611]

What rail and mounts are you using?

[@alex_from_texas_]

Cool 😎👌🇨🇱

[@mikewest712]

Pacmeyer?

[@JohnJames-sf9te]

Then what do you do with this stuff

[@2S1L3NT]

Did the same, but added a titanium recoil lug, and bolt handle. I hate that the limbsaver doesn't have a channel cut to sit correctly on the Tikka stock tho. Seems like that pad was actually for a different model but they realized it fit "well enough" on a Tikka and just sell it as though it is for one.

[@TXHAWGKILLA]

Double check what Limbsaver you used. The model I used fit perfectly and looks great. I think I ordered it on Amazon.

You also need to change out that plastic trigger guard to a milled alloy one 👍

[@scotteger6271]

Beretta is finally making actual metal trigger guards for the Tikkas as well as metal magazines

Just put my butt pad on my t3X in 308 today lop I been studyin about that hand grip

[@TXHAWGKILLA]

The handgrip is awesome. I actually have an extra one because Amazon sent me 2 by mistake! It is one screw and loosening another screw. That is about it.

[@jaysonallen3100]

I'd also upgrade the muzzle brake.

[@redbarron6574]

We should all keep in touch! Did you guys buy the one already threaded or will your barrel’s need to get threaded?

[@user-Alaskan7676]

What kind of muzzle brake did u get ?

[@TXHAWGKILLA]

I. am using it with a suppressor 100% of the time.

[@nickduma8665]

⁠@@TXHAWGKILLAwhat suppressor do you used, I’m thinking to apply for one… I need to do some research….

[@TXHAWGKILLA]

@@nickduma8665 I have been using a Dead Air Noman direct thread. The titanium one. Very quiet. I may put a muzzle device on it and use a Q Trash Panda going forward.

[@redbarron6574]

I’m going to buy the limbsaver. Do you think I will need a muzzle brake for a 30-06? I guess I’ll find out this spring but my feeling has always been no. The only firearm is have ever shot that bothered me was a 10 gauge, after shooting it I had a massive headache. Thanks!

[@applejack815]

I just purchased a 30-06 too. I’m definitely putting on a brake.

[@redbarron6574]

@@applejack815 we should all keep in touch!

[@brett9382]

If your going to be using it for hunting (im guessing you will) i would second guess having a muzzle break. Muzzle breaks work by directing gas backward to fight recoil, which means louder experience for the shooter. If your planning on not wearing ear pro or using the light weight quick ear pro that isnt super effective while hunting i would put up with the increase recoil in order to keep my hearing.

[@scotteger6271]

@@brett9382all very true and relevant things to consider…however another way to look at it is like this… If you have a brake you can practice at the bench and get used to the rifle and get it roughly sighted in…then right before the season take off the brake, confirm zero and go hunt. You’re not going to notice the increase in recoil when shooting at a game animal…but the brake makes time at the bench more pleasant

[@siddiquenadir44]

Scope ?

[@TXHAWGKILLA]

Swavarski Z6 2-12 X 50.

[@KetoCaNa]

Yep just $60 and $3000 for a scope 😢

I am running a Swavarski Z6 2-12 X 50. It is great glass.

Buy a Kimber 8400 and you won't need to change a thing

[@TXHAWGKILLA]

I would never buy anything from Kimber. Ever.

[@brianmilosevic8400]

Kimber are too hit and miss! Price doesn't reflect on quality

[@FISHUNTREECOUNTRY]

@@brianmilosevic8400 That was true of some of the 2010 and earlier models. They managed to work the rifle kinks out. Not sure about the 1911s

I bought Kimbers and sold them all they are junk😳 I am a 60+ year gun collector and hunter and reloader and the Tikka is the best gun for the price out there period
