[QUOTE="ShtrRdy, post: 2923842, member: 40852"] I know what he is saying about reducing the barrel diameter to fit a Tikka. Last year I had a Tikka Varmint barrel replaced and learned that the front of a Tikka receiver has a little radius machined in. To match up to that radius the barrel diameter at the breach end has to be about 1.150" diameter. Most barrel blanks in the US are 1.200" or 1.250". So, to make it look like the barrel matches the receiver you have to reduce the diameter on a new barrel by up to 0.1". That would be 0.050" on each side. A different approach some people use is to cut off the radius on the front of a Tikka receiver. This would shorten the threaded section holding the barrel on and possibly introduce some misalignment between the barrel and bolt bore. [/QUOTE]
