Spielvogel pointers Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Hi As title states i really don't know why as my rifle shoots fine but I've always fancied a ''let's say rem style''recoil lug on my tikka t3 instead of the factory unit Anyone know of it being done before? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srvet Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Not on a T3 but I have exactly this setup on a Tikka 595 rebarreled about 15 years ago by Norman Clark. No reason not to providing the stock will take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akeld Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 I'm sure plenty have done it, I'll be having done to my 595 when it has its next barrel, obviously you'll need to modify the stock to suit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 There is no real benefit to having a washer style lug in place of the factory ferrule and alloy recoil lug. The alloy lug can be easily bedded into a stock or a new lug machined and bedded (either method provides a better fix than a loose fitting one) A washer type lug means a longer barrel tenon, two more faces fitting the action / barrel shoulder and as the Tikka barrel tenon is smaller diameter, it would also require a custom lug to be machined (unless one is available that im not aware of) Ive built custom lug fitmenst for a heap of Tikka and Sako's bedding them into the stock permanently, without exception all rifles have shot better for it.

baldie Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 +1 on Andy,s comments. I,ve just painted a sako 85 which had a lug conversion fitted, and it was as ugly as a pitbull with lipstick on. PTG actually make a specific lug now, but I won't be bothering. The best conversion is an aftermarket steel tikka lug, firmly bedded into the stock....it can't go anywhere.

Spielvogel pointers Posted April 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Thanks to all who took the time to help I've now decided after reading, that it's a fad/expense I wouldn't benefit from Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
