I have a david tubb speedlock firing pin assembly here for a R 700.

I ordered 3 of them for myself and 2 mates . 

I had mine in my 204 but when I used cci br4 primers I would get the odd one that failed to ignite on firing. 

It never happened with any other brand of primer. 

My mates never had any issues with theirs in a 220 swift and a 308. 

Anyway its sitting in a drawer here so your welcome to it if you want to try it. 

I have 3 krg bravo stocks.

One on my rem action 204,  one on my tikka 308 and the other on my tikka t1x . 

They just seem to fit me perfect and I can't say there's anything I don't like about them. 

Edinburgh rifles are selling the tikka 2 stage triggers. 

He says they fit the 695 and 595 as well so it might be worth a look . 

I was shooting my Tikka t1x today at 50 yards. I was shooting from my 5 leg viperflex sticks. I shot two 5 shot groups with Cci standard and one group with Cci subs.  Very pleased with the results. 

www.murphyprecision.com  offer this service. They are in the US but do ship overseas. 

Their rails are more expensive than some but they are top quality . 

I bought loads of stuff from them. 

Only had one item not delivered.  

Tracking said it was delivered in the USA so I got a full refund.  

Thanks for that Andy 

I will be in touch soon .

Thanks Andy

 My scope is a zeiss V4  6-24x50 with adjustable parralax down to 10 yards .

Would the standard lens be ok for rabbits on the 22lr and foxes on my 204 ? 

Hi Andy 

Would like to know if the vulpine mk3 increases the base mag of the scope its used on. 

After buying a Tikka T1x and putting a krg bravo chassis on it I wanted a decent scope that I could use for hunting, targets and steel targets at longer ranges.

I ended up buying a zeiss V4 6-24x50.  Its the model with the zero stop and locking windage turret and ZMOAI-T20 reticle.  Parralax goes down to 10 yards.

Its an expensive scope for a 22 but I love it.

Bummmm .

Seen an article in sporting rifle on subs and eley came out top - no surprise?? . Rws second . I’ll try to find it as it might mention the speeds . 

That was a few years ago with the old green box eley subs. 

They were great but the new ones are terrible 

The newer white box eley subs are crap. 

CCI subs are doing OK in my tikka t1x

Can I have advice on the best between these, its for a Tikka T3X, 308 

Genuine Tikka T3 & T3X 20 MOA Picatinny Rail

Contessa 20 MOA rail 

Thanks in advance 

The genuine tikka rail is fine.

If you want the best have a look at the murphy precision rail from the USA.

Your objective bell should measure 58.4mm so your objective will be sitting 14.2mm lower than the bottom of your scope tube.

You will need a ring height of 19 or 20 mm to give the clearance you want.

Some rings give measurements from the bottom of the tube to the top of the rail and some give the measurement from the centre of the tube to the top of the rail. 

If the measurement is from the centre of the tube you will need a height of 34 or 35mm.

Cheers . It's factory threaded 1/2x20 

I wouldn't mind trying a tuner on my Tikka T1x. 

What type would be recommend for that rifle and where would I get one ? 

My mate has a S20. There was an issue with the front rail slot that was out of spec so he used the next slot which was fine.

No issues with the magazine, it feeds great. 

It is also a very accurate rifle but i wouldn't swap my tikka ctr in a bravo chassis for one. 

I would go for the stainless tikka as i have seen and heard of barrel pitting issues with the carbon steel versions.

6.5 CM allows a choice of LRP and SRP brass.  Small primers are favoured for increased accuracy potential.  I understand that the AI firing pin is not suitable for SRP (others can confirm).  Can't speak to the TRG22 firing pin.  Maybe worth investigating further.

The sako firing pins work fine with the small primer brass

The old ones would group under half an inch at 50 yards but I'm lucky if i get the new 38 grain to group inside one and a half inches .

Tim,

The easiest, perhaps the best way to go is get the Bifrost in the CTR inlet. Sell your bottom metal, and buy the CTR bottom metal that accepts AICS. No inletting needed then. 

This is what I'd do.  

This is a good video on setting up your full length die 

Best to call gmk as I always found them helpful with questions like this one.

I would think a 7mm 08 in ctr would be a special order but they will let you know for sure.

I have one in 308.  Great rifle.

Night force for the caps, Tier One for the mount.~Andrew.

I don't think you will get them in the UK.

They won't ship internationally either but I just got a set posted to Ireland  using the Irish Addresspal service.  This works as they give you a US address to use and they forward them on to you for a fee.

I'm sure you must have a similar service in the UK.

They are great caps  although they are quite noisy when opening and closing if that would be a concern.
