Description

Performance improvement

This Tikka T3(X) /T1X bedding kit is quite simply the cheapest improvement you can make to your Tikka T3, T3x and T1X to improve the accuracy potential of these great rifles. Our kit is machined made from high-grade materials to exacting dimensions and to a design that delivers real results.

The Tikka T3, T3x and T1x are well made rifles, sporting a super-slick action, quality hammer-forged barrels made by SAKO and a decent adjustable trigger. However despite the marketing they are let down by non-existent bedding in any of the wood / laminate / synthetic factory stocks.

Most of them shoot fantastically out of the box, but in our experience they can shoot a bit better by eliminating stock compression by installing steel pillars and correcting the poorly fitting lug which can dent and deform under heavy recoil, especially with the larger calibers.

Supported rifle models

The Tikka T3(X) /T1X bedding kit suits the Tikka T3, T3X, T1X models and replaces the original parts.

Benefits of Tikka T3(X) /T1X bedding kit

  • Improved shooting performance.
  • Titanium recoil lug instead of low cost steel lug.
  • Super flat and outstanding corrosion resistance.
  • Minimum investment for improoved shooting performance.

Lumley made the Tikka T3(X) / T1X bedding kit from high-grade and expensive materials to exacting dimensions.

Although the Tikka T3(X) and T1X are well made rifles they are let down by several factors. For example the factory synthetic stocks as well as the non existance of bedding in any of the factory stocks. Despite this most of the Tikka’s shoot fantastically out of the box. However they can shoot a bit better by correcting the poorly fitting lug.

With a minimum of investment the accuracy potential of your Tikka rifle can be greatly improved.

Included

The bedding kit includes a titanium recoil lug, two stainless steel pillars and two stainless stell socket head (cap) screws.

Tikka made the factory lug for the T3 from aluminium extrusion. The newer T3X and Sako A7 have a low cost steel lug. Both the aluminium and steel lugs causes mostly a sloppy fit what effects the performance of the rifle. These recoil lugs can dent and deform under heavy recoil, especially with the larger calibers.

Therefore the high grade titanium lug replaces this factory lug.

Components

Recoil lug

The recoil lug has a flatness of +/- 0.01mm and also has an outstanding corrosion resistance. Because of the titanium used it also has a high strength to weight ratio combined with excellent surface hardness. A deliberately slightly thicker machined recoil lug guarantees a no-slop fit to the action slot.

We also sell the recoil lug only. You can find it here.

Action screws

Lumley made the socket head (cap) screws of the bedding kit from 304 stainless steel (silver colour). These action screws fit both the Lumbly DBM and the Tikka factory plastic bottom metal. The hex socket size is 4mm which interchanges with 5/32″ hex keys.

Bedding pillars

Lumley made the pillars of the bedding kit from 304 stainless steel. The pillars ensure perfect spacing front and rear which is important for proper magazine function. To fasten the action screws tight without compressiong the stock, please use the pillars provided.

Installation

For a detailed installation guide written by one of our customers, please click here.

Because of the tight machining tolerances, the titanium recoil lug has a tight fit to the slot in your action. Therefore, to fit the titanium lug, tap it into the recoil slot with a nylon or rubber tipped hammer/dowel.

The bedding pillars are 10mm in diameter. To have them fit enlarge the action holes in the stock (8mm). A ‘press-in’ fit is possible with a 25/64″ drill.

However, for best accuracy results we advise to use a epoxy such as devcon steel putty or marine tex. Combining our bedding kit with a decent epoxy job has seen accuracy improvements in all factory rifles we have tested. Especially so with rifles in factory synthetic stocks due to flex and deviations from the injection molding process.
