Hi all,
I have recently bought my first rifle, a Tikka T3 lite, which I am very pleased with. I was out checking the zero the other day and there was a lot of smoke from the barrel when I let off the first round. I initially thought this was oil in the barrel or sound mod and that it would eventually burn off, but after the 9th round it was still smoking!! Is it the type of ammo I’m using?? (Prvi Partian 100grain .243) I have read on other threads that oil or wd40 in the mod will make it smoke, can a T8 mod be stripped and cleaned of any excess oil that might be the cause?
Any advice or suggestions would be great
Cheers,
Dave
