This is very interesting content Phillip. You have serious skills, keep it coming!
I love this series Philip! I recently did this same kind of build with a howa 6.5 Creedmoor. Its in a krg bravo and I recently got it back from Short Action Customs where they trued it and installed a bartlien barrel. I couldn't recommend them enough! Incredible professionals who build some amazingly accurate rifles. I've really enjoyed the series and look forward to more. Semper Fi!!
Amazing video from editing to the info! Great job. 🔥
Love the series- thanks for sharing the knowledge
Amazing content! keep it up! love the format!
Great series bro! Helped me plan my 1st build a ton.
6.5prc tikka Ctr, first gun I’ve bought in 20yrs.. watching this series was an inspiration to what’s possible
Looking extremely sharp on the gun. Good work.
Great, informative video Phil. Considering a similar build in 6.5 Creedmoore myself, well either that or a Tac A1 but I like the fact the build takes AICS magazines. Interesting about removing the binder plate in the Accurate mags.👍🇦🇺
can you do a vid on the watch your getting your dope from?
Thanks for sharing this great info.
Thanks for your all yout YT and FB movies Phillip. You were my biggest motivation for starting PRS shooting i Poland. You are doing great job popularizing this sport all aroud the world. You are a great shooter and personality, it's my dream to meet you one day.
Dam you run that action quick! Great vid
My damn bergara and failure to eject lol getting good at my malfunction clearing. Bad ass video man loving the Vlog.
Appreciate your videos and feed. Need to get set up and take a class from y’all.
Awesome awesome awesome. Love the scope cam and cam on you, really gives a good feel to what you are doing. I'm in love with that optic. Do you ever shoot suppressed?
Thanks for sharing this great info
I ended up doing a similar build for my first precision rifle. Went Tac A1 in 6.5 And ran it for 3 years. Then upgraded to an ACC chassis, Timney trigger, Benchmark barrel, and APA brake and it keeps up with any custom gun. I almost regret building a 6BRA on a lone peak for 2022 because the tikka ran so well
absolutely love your tikka vlog series. Too bad that you don't make them more often 😉 i shoot tac a1 (6,5crm) and stainless varmint (223) both in MDT XRS chassis and they are great. Had a krg bravo on the varmint but had to swap because of the ridiculously short foreend and mainly plastic magwell.
Love this. Very similar to mine. This Sterk Bolt knobs are 👌🏼👌🏼.
That KRG Midas 2-stage trigger is just pure weight on gold, best trigger you can have for Tikka. Nice work with your Tikka build´s Velayo ;)
I started my long range journey with a Tikka CTR. Eventually it morphed into a manners stock, criterion barrel, and trigger spring. That gun shot so well from the start. I kinda want to go back to it haha.
Watched all the Tikka vlogs and you did a fantastic job with them! Keep up the awesome content.
That’s what I’m looking to get 🇨🇦
I went down the same road turning a Bog standard Howa 1500 into my own version of a PRS rifle.
I used Short Action Customs' action wrenches and I love their quality.
I swapped the factory stock for a GRS Bfrost.
I swapped the factory bottom metal for a PTG kit with AICS mags.
(I even did my own machine work to make my receiver compatible)
I swapped the factory barrel for a 24" 11 twist McGowan heavy Palma (read .875@the muzzle) in 308W
I did my own work too!
I swapped the original clamp on Roedale precision brake for an Area 419 Hellfire match.
I'm still running the stock trigger until I find a factory adjustable one new (Howa triggers are actually decent if a little heavy and I don't like an overly light trigger)
All I have left to do is save for good glass. (Until then My Primary Arms 4-16 ACSS lets me get out and shoot)
Hey Phillip.
This is proboply the reason im getting in to long lange shooting. Havent been shooting for almost 10 year, but I just have that itch...
I really like your content with the triggercam - please do more of that ! 💪
Phillip with two "L's", the only way to spell it!! I've been thinking of doing the same thing with an early 90's era Winchester 70 chambered in 6.5x55, not as much after market support as the Tikka though. Love the scope cam...subscribed!
Great with the scopecam footage 👍
Dude! What!? That was hard af!
Great series, to bad it has enden. My tikka Action have worn out 7 or 8 barrels.Now I am adding another tikka action. Not because its tired, but I would like to choose between x-Ray chassis and a stock without the hassle of swapping.
That opening reverb sound from the pipes was straight from star wars
Beautiful chassis 😍😍😍
Hell yes! Been waiting on this video for quiet awhile! Well worth the wait. You’re costing me money renewing my appreciation for Tikka’s w/mods! Feel free to send that original proof barreled Tikka action my way j/k. What watch is that which seemed to hold your DOPE? Thanks for taking the time to provide top notch content & as always Thank You for your service!
I think it’s Garmin
Have been able to identify which Garmin. Thinking Garmin Tactix?
Super videos Phillip,would you recommend the delta tactix?
That is a superb rifle.
Hey Phillip, I love what you're doing with the page! Quick question; I'm considering the Tikka T3X CTR in 6.5 CRE, Are you restricted by the mag length when it comes to seating the bullet in the lands or are you having a large jump? Cheers, Dave
Such a beautiful Tikka , is that barrel a straight barrel ? Would it be similar to the Bartlein straight taper / match barrel ?
Really enjoy your content , thank you
Nice reloading manual and nice speed shooting.
Good stuff
That bolt manipulation 🇺🇸💥🎯🔥🔥🔥
The vlog is awesome too by the way!
New to the channel brother ! I'll be going right back !!cheers for some new content to annoy my wife with 🤣🤣🤣
Lots of great info! I’m wondering why you’re running 2 scope levels?
What scope cam are you using Phil. That would be a good learning tool to see what I'm doing WRONG.....lol. would be a cool tool for hunting also.
Keep up the good work, your videos are getting better every time. 👍
Triger cam, it seems. Attached to the eyepiece
What was the weather temp difference between locations? Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Just got this gun and LOVE IT, even Stock, also in 6.5cm! My unicorn Gun💯! Thanks for posting the video…. I’m female and have shot some long range guns but could shoot this baby all day long.
Semper Fi Marine! This is a great series for those of us wanting to build a long range rifle on a budget. You explain things very well and I appreciate the time you take to put these videos together. I know you started out with a 20" barrel because that is what you had available and now I believe you have a 26" barrel on the rifle. If there is a 24" version of the Tikka available would it be a benefit to start there rather than the 20"?
Semper Fidelis! Thanks for your kind words! Yes absolutely I would’ve rather gotten the 24” if I had the option but I was just too impatient to start the series!!
@@velayo_0317 thanks man! Can't wait for your next video
I've seen a few Bergara's in PRS, I'd be interested in seeing mods for that.
lol I like how this thing went from a basic bones Tikka to a full fledged comp gun.
Do you find that the Whiskey 3 is a lot better than the Xray? I really like the Sako Green Xray for style points and it doesn't seem that much different than the whiskey 3 in all honesty.
Hey Phil, what aftermarket headband are you using on these Sordin's? I too have the neckband version and the mesh that comes with it seems pretty flimsy. Thanks!
Hi, Philip! How & why did you go to the Tikka action? I have very well known custom action that I’m not very pleased with and actually favour the Tikka M595 action that I also have.
I have modded a few tikkas with excellent results.
im currently buying stuff for my tikka, and googling different mods. no wonder i get this in my recommended lol
Hi Phillip,I am getting into prs shooting and would really like some advice on scope selection.I love tikkas also!. Mine shoots light's out!.I just bought a tac a1 in 6.5 creedmoor. Some people have mentioned leupold mark 5 5×25×56 pr2 reticle and the 7×35×56. The tremor reticle seems really busy.I am not used to reading these reticle so I am learning right now.I want good glass and have about $2500 budget.I would be shooting production I think.Any help would be awsome!.
After running my almost stock t3x tac A1 for a year in local matches, I love this series because I'm just about to go the Proof barrel, Whiskey-3 route and this gives me confidence that all the parts will be money well spent.
Have you competed with or shot with the new C4 stock yet?
Oh shit I just noticed it in the background
@@alexs1972 😉
would the t3x tac a1 be suitable for hunting also?
@@mysteriousstranger6834 I personally wouldn't due to the weight, it's about 12lbs without a scope or magazine.
But Tikka's CTR is essentially the exact same barreled action in a more hunting friendly configuration and weight. Tikka also makes hunting specific rifles that are even lighter and shoot just as accurately for low strings of fire
I’m looking at barrels for the same rifle. What route did you choose (now 10 months later)? Thanks
I would love to shoot PRS but the rifles with glass and other needed accessories to play cost more than my first truck. Rich man's game for sure.
How's the Garmin watch working out for you in competition? Do you run the target card?
What’s your opinion on the tikka action compared to a rem copy. I’ve always ran rem and rem clones but the tikka seams interesting I just don’t know anything about them.
I grabbed a W3 and im trying to figure out my firing hand grip. If I use the thumb shelf, I either have to ride my hand extremely high or let the transition point dig into the knuckle of my thumb.
I could always wrap it like a thumb hole stock but thats not ideal.
Currently on my unconstitutional 10 day wait until I can pickup my Tikka T3x stainless in 6.5cm. Waiting sucks
Hey Philip,
Curious why you ran the proof carbon fiber for awhile and now show the stainless with no CF?
Now I have to buy another Tikka😮
Thoughts on 6.5creed vs .308 win for service? Saw your other vid about your .308 service rifle. Which one do you prefer?
How did you like the X-ray Chassis? I am debating between the X-Ray and the similar style MDT XRS
Would you still recommend the enclosed forend for the W3 chassis?
at 14:39 i know thats the Tikka having problems with the AICS mag how often does that happen to you?
@phillip velayo you mentioned everything but the trigger. Midas two stage?
I would like to buy a Tikka TAC A1 and i really need your point of view. Thank you
Do you run the factory tikka trigger?
How light can you get a Tikka barreled action in a KRG? For hunting/long range. I’d prefer to be under 11 lbs with scope/bipod
So what aftermarket stock is that & would a carbon wrapped 280 ai barrel be equivalent to the one in your video?
Hi, what parts of the Tikka rifle are left and which Tikka model is it?
Can u use a Remington 700 243 for a long range shooting gun
Does that enclosed forend show in the scope ?
Just wonder for the barrel, you mentioned SAC is the gunsmith, which barrel blank maker and what kind of contour it is? The diameter looks much larger than normal tikka prefit barrel, even looks like a standard 1.25" straight match barrel to me. I know Tikka action limits the diameter of the barrel size to 1.1" at the action side only.
It’s a Proof barrel blank, competition contour. At 26”. Slightly larger than an MTU
@@velayo_0317 Thanks Phil, so I am guessing SAC did reduce the shank side of the barrel diameter down from standard 1.2 or 1.25" to fit the Tikka action(around 1.1") and the KRG chassis, right?
I swear. The amount of top shooters’ full custom bolt guns that shit the bed is so unacceptable
Sort of like race cars... you get those tolerances so tight to get the gains in performance, but that means nothing can be out of line otherwise you have issues.
Got me wanting a Tikka. I only picked my Bergara over the Tikka because Tikkas don't come with AICS mags
That being said, I want to see a tactical build with a Bergara B-14 so I know what I'm striving for
#KYFOTG!
Tikka rifles and actions are so much better than Bergara, AICS mags works on Tikka actions with a chassis. This action is so smooth and accurate, with my Tikka I shoot like my others rifles with Kelbly and Defiance actions.
im genuinely annoyerd seeing how some people mag release and stuff works with their krg, i have has feed issues since forever even with a vision forend, i need it so tight that mags just dont drop it drives me ballistic
Do you feel you lose anything or are held back in any way with the tikka action vs a full custom action?
The only thing I would say you are losing is aftermarket support for a rem700 style action. There is also a slightly heavier bolt lift but truthfully, the Tikka CTR is an absolutely comparable option and you can even get shouldered prefits because its tolerances are built so well.
As long at looks cool!!😎😳🤪😜👍
840 with no winds and a laser beam rifle 🥱
Phillip - what trigger ? And any reason why you're dialing instead of holding?
KRG Midas two stage. Dialing because I have time and it’s going to give me a more precise aimhold.
Why no tuner?
What is that watch he's using as a range card?
Garmin?
What kinda camera are you running on your optic?
triggercam-2.1
What caliber?
Can you link the magazines you talked about?
accurate-mag.com/shop/magazines/308-winchester-7-62x51mm-dssf-magazine/
Choose non binder plate.
@@velayo_0317 What was that watch you were wearing and looking at for range holds?
@@JCTaylor21 Thats the Garmin Tactix Delta watch with Applied Ballistics
@@andre1022c4 Thank you.
No left hand :\
Harris bipod size??
6-9”
In a world full of bergaras…
You looked at your watch to get your dope, can you talk a bit more on that
Will do!
First time here and after a couple of minutes zzzzzzzz
Thanks for at least watching the first couple of minutes!
@@velayo_0317 only positive vibes. Your vids are great, not quite as impressive as when I took your class at gunwerks in 2019. Shooting beside you at the ranch near cody in that wind for lru 3 - well that was impressive. Appreciate you putting this series together.
sry,but thats not a tikka anymore!
