For Sale: Tikka 695 chambered 275 Rigby ( 7x57)

[Tikka 260]

Originally built by Ronin - details from a previous post

 

As stated it is a Tikka M695 action, 'trued' as much as a Tikka ever needs, which consisted of evening up the bolt lugs, and then the cosmetics of fluting and a bolt knob courtesy of 'Dasherman' at the original build time in 2010.

The original barrel was removed and replaced with a LW 1400 profile C/M 1:9 twist, chambered for .275 Rigby HV, finished at 22", threaded with cap.

McM Sako Hunter pattern, in 33/33/33 Dark Brown/Black/Midbrown to give the "McWoody" appearance you see.

It was proofed at Birmingham,

 

Alphamount one piece mount is included ( 30mm dia) from Richard Near

Shoots well with 140 Gn NBT over a very moderate load of H414, Fed GM210 primers, or NAB 160 again using Nosler recommended loads.











The photos show a Zenith Scope, which is NOT included in the sale.

 

This how it looks now;

 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking.

 

Price F2F £1200 - or to RFD at cost +

Very, very nice. What on earth does a stalker replace that with?

A Borden Timberline in 7x57, walnut furniture.

 

This is surplus to my needs and approaching retirement.

Thanks Tikka 260,

 

the pictures didn't do it justice! The bolt is butter smooth and the balance and feel of the rifle is superb. If I can get it to shoot half as well as it feels I'll be a happy hunter!

 

If the Borden is much better than this put my name on it!!
