Borisserge Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 I was over at the local rfd and spied a Tikka M558. TBH I have never heard of this model and on quick search through the old interweb there's not much. Can anyone fill me in on this model? Are triggers and stocks available (I'm sure one can be duplicated). Do any parts cross over from other models? Thanks in advance. ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Seem to recall they have a sleeve arrangment at the rear of the bolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
british bulldog Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Very well made model, had a .308 model about 10years ago. Another gun I shouldn't have sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borisserge Posted August 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Can you expand on the "sleeve arrangement at the rear of the bolt". Is this a positive or something I should consider as to look out for. .....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Can you expand on the "sleeve arrangement at the rear of the bolt". Is this a positive or something I should consider as to look out for. .....? I think its a positive thing, it makes the bolt very smooth. The trigger is the common Tikka arrangement so responds well to a polish and the lighter pressure spring. Its chunky flat bottomed action which is a little more rounded on the top than the 590/595 but looks nice enough. Stocks are interchangeable with the more common 590/595 series.

Ronin Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Ive not seen many, but recall there being a plastic sleeve at the rear of the action within wich the bolt (which was of smaller diameter than standard 595 marque) fits. The bolt was smooth, it was on a second hand rifle - I didnt pay much more attention to it as I wasnt looking at buying it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
