Tikka 658 in 300 Win Mag

Edinburgh Rifles · December 1, 2016

Tikka 658 actioned 300 Win Mag (Wood and Blue)

This model action is the precursor to the M695 long action and has an external bolt collar that locks into the receiver and creates an extremely smooth bolt throw
15-17mm integral dovetail with front recoil pin notch
3 shot single stack steel magazine
Very nice factory adjustable trigger - currently set around 1.75-2lb pull

Very nicely figured walnut stock with Rosewood fore-end,

Roll over cheek piece nice sized palm swell and Monte Carlo grip- regularly re-oiled and hand rubbed with Phillips Walnut Preparation - Shows usual signs of use, few scratches/little dings/marks in chequering
QR slings studs - front is through bolt version
Upgraded Pachmayer White Line Recoil pad - approx

Flat based receiver makes it an easy customisation into a new stock more suitable to range work.

I have been working on a AICS tubular chassis in Viper Skins utilising an AccurateMags 338 LM mag to accommodate the OAL of the longer 208, 210gr loads (in progress)
This one mounts well and would make a great driven game rifle as well as having proved itself on targets out to 1000yds

Sporter profile Barrel Screwcut 14x1 with discreet/smooth thread protector (J Russell)
shows usual signs of reflex moderator blue removal, easily sorted if required
Barrel approx 1-1.5" shorter than OEM due to removal or previous 1/2" UNF thread and recrowning (J Russell)

Custom fore-end mounted Picatinny rail with Integral Parker Hale/Versapod spike and sling stud
Versapod spike unscrews if you want to use a Rail Atlas or similar pod

Shot count is unknown
Several hundred prior to purchase
around 250 since
has shown excellent accuracy to date (below)

Its wearing a sightron at the moment but some pics of it with a Zeiss also
