Ronin Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Finished this today, Left handed Tikka 590, fluted bolt, oversize bolt knob, bolt stripped and lapped to action abutments. Pac Nor 8 twist stainless barrel, finished at 24", threaded and protective cap machined. Chambered in 6.5x47 Lapua. Standard wood stock has been stripped, given new Pachymere pad and painted in shiny black and given several coats of lacquer. Trigger stripped, polished now breaks at reliable and safe 2 lbs with no other modification. Original bottom "metal" and magazine used, but the action is bedded in devcon with pillars and custom made recoil lug. Hope the new owner likes it - I think it looks pretty good.

Davy Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Nice job, a deep shiny black finish does look rather special. Non standard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunner Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Very nice indeed , may i ask who did bolt fluting ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 The fluting was done by Neil I think, the rifle was purchased as a donor for a specific order I had and came with the fluting already done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
