Nice Rig!
I need to work more with 308.
You are NOT alone, Brother.
America is having big problems too.
Christ Bless You and Yours!
Great video. Nice to see someone with life experience talking about a rifle.
So happy to see your videos , I already bought a Cz Ranger, now I want this .
I'm very happy that our rangers got themselves a really good quality rifle. I was worried that the government was going to just dump them with the cheapest alternative they could find.
CZ was the runner up
@@joellaurin9007ithe Cz ranger looked pretty cool to me, simple looking,
You got me hooked on the Lee Enfield, now I guess it's time to start saving for a Tikka! Wow is my wife mad at you lol.
Sell something that you can do without? Make sure it doesn't belong to your wife!
@@Riflechair That would be like selling one of my kids! Now that mad wife on the other hand...
Great conversation about your rifle. I don't need one but I sure want one. Tikka had to make it all confusing and offer a 6.5 also.
Hi Richard, how are you doing? I’m a very happy Tikka T3x Lite owner, which with a custom bolt handle-made for me by a very talented friend, I’m able to cycle. I have been a Quadriplegic since I was 21 & haven’t used a bolt-action rifle for 28 years...until last week.
Your in trouble, your 303 is not liking this.
Great job RC, I want you on my overwatch team! Great bolt work.
Having a remote cabin is great ... having a remote cabin w/ community,armed mnded people covering your six is even better
Good lookin rifle!👍🏾😀❤️🇺🇸
Thank you sir i have a tikka t3 varmitter we never miss also 308
1/11twist spits anything out super Centre
nice video thanks
I’m a little perplexed at the start but I kind of get the hybrid mentality of the CTR/Artic crossover .. Me, myself and I would just want a straight Tikka Artic with no scope on it and just cycle a few different types of .308 ammo to see what produces the tightest groups at a reasonable distance . Love well made Iron sighted rifles ie Mauser and Lee Enfield
Nice bat. Hope you can keep it. MLU.
Thanks for a nice video on the gun. You mentioned that you have the sights for the gun aswell. How did come by those? I'm trying to source some because I'm lefthanded. Cheers
I'm looking for or at a ruger predator I believe In ss, 308. But this tikka looks nice.
I would love it if this had a full length scout rail on it like the mossberg mvp scout.... maybe thats just me - still an epic rifle
Hello. Great Video. Thank you for doing it. I too have a CTR. I love the rifle but I dont like the synthetic stock it comes with. Where did you get your laminate stock? I would love to get one for my rifle. Also what about the iron sights? You mentioned you had the sights for the C19. Where can I get my hands on those? Thank you kindly.
Mine was for sale on CGN and it wasn't cheap.
Thats a nice rifle! but The sling is Swedish m/96 sling for the Swedish Mauser.
Can you please do another video on this rifle?
Nice rifle can’t beat a Tikka
Great video! The Tikka Arctic is a great rifle. The magazine's are exactly like the Sako TRG magazines. Really good magazines.
No they are not anymore. They added the plastic base so they can ship them more easily as the original TRG mags needed a special military arms export permit. These new one don’t work in a TRG either.
Hello from the US. That Tikka is an nice looking rifle but just not for me due to costs and I'm left handed. Because of that situation I prefer my left hand Ruger GSR rifle and my various leverguns. Another option thats not too bad for a lefty to operate by reaching overhand is the straight bolt style Mauser 98 variants. I have a few of them and they are more lefty friendly than turned down bolts and I like having an rifle with a history behind it.
It not the T3X Arctic it’s a regular CTR in a laminate stock.
For hunting I'd prefer the lighter T3X Laminate Stainless with optional iron sights, a Leupold 4x28mm Rimfire scope in Warne QD rings (with the parallax free distance changed from 60 yards to 150 yards), an Atlasworxs aluminium trigger guard, and a Mountain Tactical aluminium magazine (three rounds).
Question: looking at Tikka T3x Lite vs the T3x CTR, looking for a good all round hunting rifle and I want Tikka for sure. Which one is better? The "Lite" is lighter of course but I am digging the CTR as it seems to be a more rugged all round option.
@Matt Robinson: it’s been at least a year since you posted this. I sure wish I’d seen it when it was "new". Which model did you decide to get? I bought an "entry level" Tikka, the T3x Lite in .223, which I then had put in a Boyd’s At-One laminate stock. I only shoot at the Range, & always with a friend. This is because of a spinal cord injury I had many years ago, and I need help to hang gongs/targets, to load & change the magazines et cetera. I’m able to operate the bolt action and I’m able to ring the 8" gong 3 times out of 4 @ 200 metres. I guess I’m a "bench shooter"-I don’t hunt-I’m shooting at either a steel or a paper circle & because I like to ask for the least amount of help possible, I like as high capacity a magazine as I’m able to get here in British Columbia, Canada. That’s the biggest difference between the Lite & the CTR. My T3x Lite came with a 4 round magazine, but the T3x CTR-which I SHOULD have ordered-holds 10. You’re looking for a hunting rifle, & 4 rounds are likely more than you need for your purposes. The flush-fitting, 4-round mag is a LOT easier to carry around and is perfectly balanced to carry around all day. It weighs half of the CTR’s ~10 pounds, (depending upon how heavy your scope is). Finding a Tikka with iron sights isn’t part of the past-if you can afford to get the Tikka T3x Arctic. That’s what the Canadian Rangers use & their requirements are extreme. From -35°C🥶to +35°C🥵, the Colt C-19/Tikka T3X Arctic are in an eye-catching orange, black & grey laminate stock that I could look at all day long. Strange but true. For the fan of "tactical" looking/Military & Police-"black"-rifle, there’s the TAC A1 & its swing-shut butt.
*So…what did you choose AND are you entirely happy with that? Or, do you think you’ll save your money for another rifle? I hear great things about the Sig Sauer 3000 (sniper) rifle…
@@frufru0071 Hey, thanks for the reply! I was really looking for a hunting rifle so I went with the Tikka T3x lite.. its really nice and as you stated no real need to have 10 rounds in a hunting rifle. The CTR is nice and tougher I think but the weight and extra capacity doesn't really fit the purpose so I'm happy with my choice.. love Tikka regardless of what they have tho!
Can you post a link for the optics and sling?
What a nice set up! I bought the Swedish sling but have troubles finding wide enough sling swivels. Could you please tell me what brand that is?
I reckon it might be a Ron Brown 1907 target sling as he uses extra wide d- ring swivels.
I watched further into the video and he does advise about the sling. I was wrong as it is a simpler hunting sling. However the 1907 pattern sling would certainly do the Tikka justice. Ron Brown is in Georgia USA and has a web site.
Thanx John, the sling he uses for his Tikka is an old Swedish surplus sling. I bought one too as they are quite common here in Sweden where I live. However the extra wide sling swivels needed are near to impossible to find so I just went with a more modern sling.
Hello, best choice between cz Range and Tikka ?
Thanks,. ... Excuse my poor English..
The Cz ranger looked pretty cool also,,,
Better than the CZ range?
Tikka ctr is amazing, nice video!!.. what Boyd stock is that??
A take-off Tikka stock from Tikka Arctic.
@@vpenkov4908 where can I buy a stock like that?.. I can’t afford $2200 for the Arctic rifle, I’m hoping to make a clone!
Sir, what is the nearest rifle to C19 but chambered in .260 Remington? Thank You for your response in advance.
TIKKA CTR
On the C19 sights are my favorite part on the Arctic but... They seem to good to be true? If properly zeroed are they on target through all six aperture settings? Do you know what velocity the 180 partition is designed to match up with these sights? I know you don't have one personally but you probably know from the trials? I've been seriously thinking about the Tikka Arctic. Expensive but really cool if sights are actually on. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for sharing
I like the rifle for what it is too Brian, thought several times to buy an "Arctic". It's allot of money for a rifle that's only 60% identical to the Canuk rifle. The sight is pretty awesome, but I think they would have been better served to install a singer type rear sight like the old No4 had.
@@cs-rj8ru You say only 60% same? Other than the color they appear to be the same to me. What is the difference? And I know you don't get the case and the tools that the rangers get that would also be nice for the price.
@@brianlee6849 other than the stock colour and the markings the rifles are identical so I don’t know what the guys talking about with 60%. I forgot to add the sling swivels on the C-19 are push button not the standard stun type found on the Arctic.
@@seamac7966 Yes that is what I thought also. I think it's a awesome rifle and will hold up to extreme use and weather the rangers have a winner in my opinion. But for me personally it's a little bit expensive. I wish I could buy the sights. Thanks
Not the best choice for defense against bears IMO. Heavy, slow to reload, and has a fragile scope that adds more weight and is less than ideal for close range use. Prefer a lighter lever action with iron sights like the Henry All-Weather Lever Action Side Gate in .45-70 (7 lbs). I like that the Henry does not have a tang safety like the [blued steel] Winchester 1886 or a button safety like the Marlin 1895 Trapper.
You should try that old 215 grain .303 see how it holds up
RebelSandGaming I need to find good load for that 215gr Woodleigh bullet. There isn’t much data out there.
@@Riflechair so I've heard though if j remember they used to make em commercial for shop sales
@@RebelSandGaming Yes DOMINION used to make 215gr hunting ammo but I'm pretty sure this stopped in the late 70's or early 80's?
Nice stock on ur gun
Where can I buy one of the rifles
Hey @Riflechair , what scope is that you're using?
Leatherwood HiLux CMR 1-4X24 - Great Scope
My very similar choice would be the RUGER Scout with laminated stock.
->While the TIKKA T3x has a better trigger it should hav, at its exalted price of around US $2,800. (v.s. the RUGER Scout's $900.+) And I could easily afford and excellent Timney trigger for $130. and still be way ahead oof the game..
->The Ruger action, rather than being forged is INVESTMENT CAST for a more uniform grain structure. At least as strong as the TiKKA action.
->Both rifles' barrels are cold hammer forged and both are equally accurate. I speak from experience with two RUGER 6.5 CM rifles.that gave 1/2 MOA accuracy with Hornady 140 gr. ELD-M (Match) cartridges.
->The RUGER has a Mauser type controlled feed extractor, theTIKKA does not. For dangerous game many prefer controlled feed.
->Both are capable of an action mounted Pic.rail. I'd put one on the RUGER as I'm not a fan of the"Scout" forward rail.
Hey, this Tikka in the video is actually a base model CTR, and not the arctic/C19 version, i believe he has just put a laminated stock. Hope that cleared some things up :)
The Ruger’s mag negates the controlled round feed as the feed lips hold the cartridge until near the end of the loading stroke then as it pops out of the mag it can then be grabbed by the extractor not before. Ruger’s internal box mags don’t stop the controlled round feed from working as it should.
yep a storm is coming brother
What rifles were used in the trials before they deciding on the c19?
I wish I knew with certainty.
I'm guessing that Tikka buys those stocks from Boyds? They look like a Boyds plywood special. Looks good on that "Canadian Assault Rifle."
c s Definitely not a Boyd’s stock.
I doubt sako who makes their own walnut, carbon fiber and polymer stocks is importing laminate stocks from Boyd’s in the US to Finland to then turn around and export around the world
@@dangerranger4323 Ok, so it's not likely a boyds...But why do you find it unreasonable? CZ fits boyds stocks on rifles that it sells globally..I'd imagine CZ is a considerably larger company..... The concept in regards to import/export is quite common.
@@cs-rj8ru a solid point, but I don’t think cz has the stock making infrastructure that sako does, they make all their own stocks from plastic tikkas to carbon fiber sako carbonlights to hand rubbed walnuts in the sako customs. I’m also not sure cz is a bigger company.
I’m assuming you’re talking about the tacticool 455? It’s a solid point I hadn’t considered for sure
Don't refer to this, as an assault rifle, or blackface will want it
If you thought Canada was in trouble three years ago, I wonder what you think now.
I knew we were in trouble in 2015.
what were you brushing onto the sling? Is it a sealant?
Neatsfoot oil is a yellow oil rendered and purified from the shin bones and feet (but not the hooves) of cattle. "Neat" in the oil's name comes from an Old English word for cattle. Neatsfoot oil is used as a conditioning, softening and preservative agent for leather. In the 18th century, it was also used medicinally as a topical application for dry scaly skin conditions.
"Prime neatsfoot oil" or "neatsfoot oil compound" are terms used for a blend of pure neatsfoot oil and non-animal oils, generally mineral or other petroleum-based oils.
@@Riflechair Perfect. thank you. I have a few slings that I would like to treat to make better and this sounds like it'll do the trick!
@@jkhan337 works great on leather guitar slings too and go odour or greasy feel to it
@@Riflechair just ordered some for my mauser and M1 sling
Im in Texas and I want a c19
I know money is especially tight nowadays for regular people like us but I would want a good piece of glass on a nice rifle not that Hilux isn’t bad but now I’ve started buying the glass before the rifle I bought the Steiner 1-4 and I don’t have a gun for it?🧠🤯🔫
If the intended target, is bears, I would feel better with my old husqvarna, in 9.3x62, with 2 rounds of Norma Oryx ammo. Just me
Agreed. I use M590 12ga with 3" mag slugs or M1895 Marlin 45/70 with 400gr hard cast. This is more about a general purpose rifle that can do everything but maybe not so well.
I like the 3006 over the 308 2800 fps with 180 grain
Agreed
@@Riflechair recoil is about the same bolt length is the only diffrence some say 308 is more accurat i say they are about the same 3006 has less drop out to 300 yards
@@Riflechair i have shot moose at 400 yards with 06 with lots of remaining energy to knock them down

You think people are waking up now I think the surf&turf was the last straw for most people who think he is a libral
Seem faster than the Enfield
Tikka needs to fix their safety.
There's nothing safe about a 2 position safety that requires you to disable it in order to unload. Good luck teaching kids the sport with that lol.
Need a Winchester model 70 / Kimber 8400 type safety on the Tikka T3X, then it would be ultimate.
Gross gulping
this gun is expensive LOL
The T3X Arctic is expensive this is a Tikka CTR half the price of the Arctic.
@@seamac7966 what does artic have over ctr?
@@InstinctiveFirearmReviews stainless steel rifle with excellent diopter sights for use out to 600m, the barrel is a heavier weight than the CTR I’m told and the laminate stock is better for the cold climates they say.
@@seamac7966 Ya, I'm aiming for either tikka t3x super varmint 308 or tac , tac a1
@@InstinctiveFirearmReviews the tac a1 is a CTR barrelled action in that nice chassis system.
