Threading a Tikka t3x Superlight

[ADSshooter]

Want to preface by saying I'm new to hunting and owning a gun in general, hence joining the forum to learn. I've bought a Tikka t3x Superlight .300 win mag and want to get a muzzle break threaded on. Do any of you have any recommendations or know if threading a light barrel would even be safe? I've got the terminator t1 or t1+ in mind. I've seen a few people say a 1/2x28 is a good thread for the gun but I'm unsure if they are speaking of the superlight specifically. I'll take any insight and muzzle/thread recommendations you all got. Hell pictures of your tikka setup if you've got one would be Awsome too. As I said I'm new so I'm soaking it all in like a sponge right now, thank you!

PVA did the 1/2 x 28 threading, on my Tikka T-3, SS Lite ( the NON- Fluted Version ) and I installed their "Back Country", 3 Port Brake on it,.. I'm VERY Pleased with, the Brake and the "Work" they did ! The Rifle group's from, the 3's to 1/2 MOA with, 130 gr. ELD-M's, Handloaded and about, 1/2 to 5/8th's MOA with, the 143 gr. ELD-X's . Call them and Ask if, the "Super Lite" can be, Done,.. Safely.
I've owned 3 Tikka's and ALL have been, SS Lites ( Non- Fluted ) so I can't Say for, sure.
They've threaded my old, .270 WSM Tikka T-3 Lite for my grandson and my New 6.5 Creed. both, W/ 1/2 x 28 threads.
My grandson can shoot, a Box or More of Ammo thru, the .270 WSM ( 140's at, 3,175 FPS ) with their Jet Blast Brake, on it !

Before you go mailing your gun off you might talk to local gunshops. A lot of times they know of a local gunsmith that can thread a barrel and put a brake on as that is typically considered an easy job.
My local gunsmith charges $80 to thread a barrel

Welcome to LRH, and enjoy! Yes, it can be threaded for a muzzle brake. Do you have a gunsmith near you, or will you ship it? One of my .300 WM (not a Tikka) has a thin barrel, .525" at the muzzle, with a 1/2-28" thread for a muzzle brake. Depending on the reputable gunsmith, he can build an adapter/shoulder and thread it for 5/8-24" like in the video.
