Tikka t3 and sako a7 actions

[Nude nut]

Gday,
Well I have one of each tikka 270 and sako a7 22.250 they dont get used anymore so playing with the thoughts of using the actions for target shooting mainly club level and odd prize shoots.
Any body used these actions for this purpose as Im not sure what others think but I reckon these actions are pretty slick nice and smooth.
I have a stiller viper for my main target rifle and my son has a dizzyed up rem for his both switch barrel rifles his is 223,6.5x47,308 he has two bolts mine is 308 and 6.5x47 both shoot very well.
So do you guys think these actions are worth the effort as custom actions are very expensive if I sold the two I still could not pay for one custom and these actions are just collecting dust so to speak.

Cheers Trev.

Can't speak for the A7 but the Tikka actions are sweet and makes for a very nice custom rifle. build away.

Hey Trev: I think the Tikkas are up to it. Nice, smooth actions. I just put a new Brux 7 twist on a 595. It's looking good, so far. Shots at 100 with 80 Bergers Target and Varget, on the lands.

My thoughts also my tikka is smoother than my viper action by a longway.

Thats shooting well both these rifles I have both shoot tight groups thought I would start withe the 270 tikka just trying to decide on what chambering I do want to replace the recoil lug with a pinned lug and set it up as a switch barrel.
My concerns was with how much pressure these actions can cope with probably not to much of an issue for there intended use.

Cheers Trev.
