I have r93's in .243 my foxing rifle and 25-06 for stalking (myself and foreign clients - wouldnt let one walk behind me with a conventional turnbolt), and a sako 75 which is being rebarelled in 6.5x47l which will be my rifle for stalking and plinking/playing etc.. any thoughts on what to do with the tikka and perhaps some pictures of custom tikka for inspiration.. cheers in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got 2..... a 595 which started out as a stainless/synthetic in 243, which is now .260 with Shilen S/S 1:9 barrel , McM Sako Varmint Stock, Near Alphamount, hand 'ferkled trigger, PRS did the original job, and Ronin has subsequently restocked it shortened the barrel to 22". Other is a 695 that Ronin transformed into a 275 Rigby, McM Sako Hunter McWoody stock, 22" CM 1:9 barrel, fluted bolt and ferruled trigger, Near Alphamount. Both rifles shoot better than I can most days. I've posted pics of both of them at one time or another, so I won't bore everyone again, If you'd like to see them, PM me . Have fun making your decisions, and even more with the finished project. ATB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finman Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Μy M590 started life as a .22-250, but it is now a 6mmBR. Nothing fancy done to it, other than having a very nice Border barrel, fitted by Mike Norris. Seeing your list of calibres, perhaps one you might want to consider: serious fun, good for anything and a keeper any day best wishes, Finman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL. Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 i have a nice tikka 590 in 22-250 which i am considering a semi custom job... Oh Gary! After the things you've said about Sakos/Tikkas! It's good that you've seen the light and bought a grown ups rifle at last! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offroad Gary Posted November 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Oh Gary! After the things you've said about Sakos/Tikkas! It's good that you've seen the light and bought a grown ups rifle at last! Actually I bought 2! Sako 75 and tikka 590 - only problem is you have to accurise them - which I guess is all part of the fun. I'm still struggling with an idea for the tikka, might need to shift it and get a long action donor so I can have built a real barrel burning levelling iron.

Alycidon Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 6BR?. Build with a light short barrel as a walking vermin rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
