SOLD/EXPIRED Tikka 7SS Rock Creek Carbon

[AZ82New]

Hello,

Tikka t3x
Metal bolt shroud
Game Warden w/edge fill
22inch Rock Creek Carbon
7SS
Dies and 150 rounds of new brass included
30 ish rounds of once fired included

Built by Pederson precision.

Gun shoots lights out.

I have a bunch of guns, especially in 7mm. I shoot this the least. I'm open to trades!

It has maybe 100 rounds through it.

Vortex LHT not included.

Trigger is factory, it breaks at 1.6 pounds. Very nice trigger, never felt like it needed an upgrade. The gun is very light. I can weigh it if you need me too. Those groups were 168 bergers with a light charge of H1000 to form the brass. Very accurate, didn't do any load work up and that's how it shot.

$2,200 or a trade for another cool rifle.

You might want to add the barrel twist. Gorgeous rifle. Matt makes the most accurate rifles I own. If he wasn't building me one right now I would be all over this. GLWS. Great value here!!!

Could you please advise if there is a brake for the rifle? Also how many grains of the h1000 were you using? Thank you

No break, there is a thread protector though. I forgot to mention it's cerakoted black. As is the exposed metal in the barrel.

Additionally it has a pic rail for the scope.

I believe it's an 8.5 twist. I'll check when I get home.

I believe I was using 55 grains of H1000 over a 168 Berger. It was a light fire forming load. RL19 will get you over 3,000fps with that bullet.

Matt (Pedersen Precision) listed it at $2,200 when I bought it from him. Then I had him cerakote all the metal and change the bolt shroud to a metal one as well as tune up the trigger (which is very nice). In the end I paid him $2,600. Brass and dies were an addition $600.

Total $3,200.

Weight with the vortex LHT, rings and a sling is 8 pounds.

So it is probably about a 6-6.5 pound gun.

I texted Matthew about the twist, it's not showing on the barrel, I do believe it was an 8.5 twist.

Is your brass the ADG 7ss brass? I didn't think that needed fire formed?

 

[AZ82New]

It's an 8 twist, just got word from the builder.

7ss needs a light fire forming load on the first firing unless it was built with the class b reamer. Those are just now heading out to smiths.

So yes, you do need to fire form the ADG brass the first time around. That's true of all the Sherman cartridges. Unless of course you have one built with the newest reamer.

Thank you for the reply. The barrel is threaded, does it happen to be 5/8-24? Thank you

 

[AZ82New]

Yes, 5/8-24

The brass is ADG with 7SS head stamp.
