AitkenD Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 A little help if anyone can please. Does anyone here own a Tikka master sporter? Would you know if the bottom metal is the same as used on the M595 / M695? Would any one have pictures of the 595 and 695 bottom metal for a quick visual comparison? We have a real opportunity for resurrecting the woodpecker 595/695 platform and giving it shiny new metal parts utilising AICS mags. If anyone has some broken or unused plastic parts (either model) please get in touch! Thank you, Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Already looked at it Aitken. It could be done, but the action would require milling out to accept the feed lips of the AICS magazines, as they are a lot wider than a tikka. This would require a reproof of the action, thus making the whole exercise prohibitively expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17 Rem Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 The 'Master Sporter' is nothing more than the name used to market the standard stocked 595 'Hunter' on the other side of the Atlantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17 Rem Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Apologies- I was thinking of the 'Master' name, which we just didn't use here, and was disregarding the 'sporter' bit. We didn't call them the 'Whitetail either. Magazine catch looks to be in the same place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
