Tikka T3 action screw spacing?

[Donkey Basher]

Anyone got a T3 that can do me a favour please & get me the centre to centre spacing between the front & rear action screws as well as the distance between the centre of the rear action screw & centre of the slot the bolt sits in?

TIA.

Hope this helps

Brilliant, thank you - looks like the screw spacing is the same as, or close enough, to the M595 to allow me to 'adjust' by opening up to take pillars. Also looks as if the offset between rear screw centre & centre of bolt slot is about right too. Now to find a suitable donor stock...

I've checked and it's about 178mm

Thanks - the M595 is 178mm centre to centre

What'd be absolutely perfect would be if the offset between centre of rear action screw & centre of slot for the bolt handle was 39mm - things would be very much simpler if that's the case...

I've just got my T3 out and had a measure and it looks pretty much like 39mm between centres. Bolt cutout is 12.8mm wide.

I've just got hold of an M590 do I'm sure I'll be doing some similar fiddling if I try and make a carbon fibre stock for it.

Thanks Takbok - now to get hold of a suitable stock
