[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 2647443, member: 11132"] The Tikka action will go 3.6- 3.7" with the correct BDM. You change the bolt stop to its LA one as well. Run an acis compatible mag. I can lay out parts list for you to procure from basic to extreme. Then take it to your smith or if its basic and a prefit you could do it yourself if your handy. You can stay very basic with the factory stock, ctr bdm, acis compatible mag, prefit barrel chambered in whatever you want, trigger spring, and scope rail. You could otherwise choose a custom stock (manners, mcmillian, mesa altitude), barrel blank, redsnake trg dbm, trg-42 winmag magazine, krg midas fully adj 2 stage trigger, ti rail. One of the site sponsors [USER=73428]@North Idaho Hunter[/USER] (J/A Outdoors) usually has most tikka t3x upgrade parts in stock. As you are handloader I would not look at any of the actual long action cartridges like Nosler Mag, PRC, WinMag etc. Look at the RSAUM and WSM based cases. Gives the most flexibility on a magnum bolt face. If you do not mind wildcat with ready to load or neck size only adg cases look at the Sherman Max and Mega lines. 6.5 Max running a 156 EOL will be a lower recoil Lazer. A 7mm Mega can throw a 195 EOL 26" barrel in a node 2900 fps h1000. The 30 and 338 Megas work fantastically in short barrels. I have a 338 Mega 21.5" 6.5lb bare 9.5lb RTH that runs a 250 eol @ 2900-2950 node. Also 250 CEB Lazer Max and SBDII about 75-120 fps less depending on powder. BTW that CEB is suppose to be single feed only length but even with it being 1.867" long loaded ideally in the case neck its still under 3.6" fits easily in the tikka. If you would rather stick to std cases just run the wsm rsaum equivelents in their stock chamber throated to run longer COAL. 7RSAUM or 6.5 24" barrel plenty for your yardage goals and the some. Of a 30 or 338 wsm/Mega from 20-22" barrels easily crush anything in that range and you can hang a suppressor off it and not have a crazy long pole on your hands. Load light or heavy for max flexibility. If you want to stay with your current bolt face and 280-284.
