[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1178018, member: 5219"] I still marvel at the texture and consistency of the Tikka T3 308 barrel my friend owns. Never saw an interior like it. It is a hammer forged barrel with absolutely no reamer marks like you'd see in a Remington. The patina looks similar to a fine bead blasted finish. AND it cleans up so quickly! I was talking to the gunsmith at Tikka Performance. [url]https://www.tikkaperformance.com/[/url] He said the hammer forging machine that Tikka (Baretta) uses is massive. According to him they start with is very short and large diameter blank. The process irons out all the machining marks. Would have never noticed this interesting interior without a bore scope.
