Tikka Long Action VS. Short Action
 

Is the receiver shorter or did they just put a spacer in the mag for?

Space for sure, but I think that they also shorten the bolt throw somehow.

The Tikka T3 action is one length (long). To accommodate the short action cartridges they put a block in the magazine. They also reposition the bolt stop to shorten the stroke of the bolt to give it a short action feel.

One size fits all... cheaper to produce.

100% right I dont like Tikkas just becaust they do fill cheap to me.

X2! I don't care for anything in "one size fits all!"
Cheaper to produce = just plain cheap!

Actually, if I remember right, the action is extra long! That way it can be converted from magnum, long and short action. I love short action calibers, so why would I want to defeat the purpose with a mag-length action! Tikka's cost cutting is really just extra profit, because they are still over priced!

Tikka's are great guns...go try one and you will love the way it shoots.

I've had (and sold) three Tikkas. That's enough.

my hunting partener has a TIKKA with the .270 wsm and it is a tack driver up to 300yds. what more do you want from a rifle ??????

yes i know it's got a long bolt modified for a short action ..so what ..as long as it feels good and shoots accurately ..

let it walk

One receiver, several bullets. $500 rifle that shoots decent groups and has a decent trigger.

I own two of them, 30-06 and a .270. The .270 is a tack driver. The 06 will shoot inch and aquarter groups with factory ammo. Best rifles made for the money.

I have a Tikka T3 SS in 243 Left Hand. Best rifle I have ever owned. All factory ammo, four different types, shoot MOA. My handloads go 1/2 MOA. I have done nothing to the rifle but adjusted the trigger myself down to 2 pounds. I have had two Remington and three Browning centerfire rifles and my next purchase will be a Tikka even if they were the same price. Not as pretty as the Browninig but smooth bolt and better trigger. No need to even bring the Remington into the conversation, sloppy actions and terrible trigger.

kinda sounds like savage 110 action

im not a remington man but my 721 rocks!it aint sloppy and the original trigger works fine.maybe you were referring to the 700?

I've got a tikka T3 30-06 along with 2 Remington 700's one in 270 the other in 7mm mag also a remington model 7 in 260. The Tikka shoots as good as my remingtons has a smoother bolt and weighs less. I'm gonna get a 25-06 soon and am stuck on either a Remington 700 sps or a tikka but am leaning towards a tikka I like it better
