Tikka T3 RCS II

 

The RCS II T3 is a highly functional chassis type stock for the Tikka T3 Bolt Action Rifle. Right and Left handed models are available to suit right and left handed Tikka T3 Rifles, the difference between left and right handed stocks bieng simply the position of the bolt handle block and the access points to the cheek adjustment screws. The stock its self is ambidextrous in use in that it can be shot from the right or left shoulder irrelevant of bieng a left or right handed version.This offers a true ambidextrous capability.  It is also possible to convert the chassis from right to left handed or left to right handed with a minimum of additional parts.  The RCS II T3 is available to suit 2 groups of calibers found in the factory Tikka T3 as well as any caliber in customised T3 rifles

• A: Short calibers:  .223Rem to .308Win/WSM
• B: Long calibers: 6.5x55 to .338 Win Mag

Notes on the Tikka T3 Bolt Action Rifle.  The Tikka T3 rifle ranges in caliber from .222 Rem up to .338 Win Mag. All these calibers and all models or T3 rifle are based around one and the same action length. The only differences bieng the bolt face diameter, the bolt stop and the internal dimentions of the factory magazine. Irrelevant of caliber, all Tikka T3 rifle actions will fit in the RCS II chassis. We offer however 2 different chassis which are designated A: Short Caliber and B: Long Caliber versions. The difference in the 2 chassis is the magazine well, magazine latch and the magazine compatability

Chassis:

• Material: Aircraft grade Aluminium - machined from a solid billet.
• Finish: Hard Anodised
• Bedding: Alloy chassis ensures consistent contact between action and stock.

Magazines:

A: Short caliber:

•  .308 Win and similar calibers use 5 or 10 rd AICS type magazines either with our without the spacer plate at the front of the magazine
• WSM and RSAUM calibers use 5 or 10 rd AICS type magazines with lips modified to suit. Either with our without the spacer plate at the front of the magazine. Mag capacity is 4rds or 8rds.
•  .223 AICS plastic magazines can also be used when slightly modified. ( relieving outside of mag lips slighly to enable insertion to right height in T3 action is a simple task)

B: Long Caliber:

• Voere Magazines: Standard 6.5x55 - 30-06. Magnum .300WM etc. It is also possible to use the type B chassis with a short .308 magazine from Voere or to feed calibers like the 6.5x284 from the standard magazine, this makes the type B chassis very versatile in that it is possible to use the type B chassis with any Tikka T3 from .243 Win up to .338WM simply by employing an additional magazine.
