beattie 16 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Hi folks, advice needed. I have a Tike T3 light in 2506. I am thinking of getting it done up a bit ie customised but knowing nother about this, what could I have done to it ie barrell, stock?? whats your thoughts and is it a good calibre to have done? Ideally i would like to be able to start shooting out a bit distance wise (500 yrds). many thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz6br Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 If it's shooting ok with a standard factory barrel id think twice before you spend money on a custom barrel job. Ive just had a full custom tikka t3 done in 223 ackley was done by ukgunworks they have all the bits for a full custom job on tikka and mine looks and shoots real good cant get pics up on here for some reason but i have a few on uklongrange.

CZ Varminter Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 If it shoots well at the moment leave barrel as is, do you home laod? If not possible think about it? Simple things like trigger tuning and pillar bedding are the basic steps forward that can actually make alot of difference, im no expert on what to do but from my experience these would be the first steps i would take. if it shoots 1/2" @ 100yrds mate its good as standard but the above may improve it slightly. 25-06 a very nice calibre. have always wanted to try it actually as i shoot its parent cartridge.
