Tikka T3x CTR- Bushing

The number 7, at 1.150 is the correct bushing for the Tikka T3x CTR 24" 6.5mm Creedmoor Bolt Action Rifle. I used blue painters tape around the barrel and action and pine rosin in the bushing. You will tighten the barrel vise to extremes you would think that would crush the barrel. Tikka is notorious about what it takes to break their actions loose. I didn’t use heat but at the end of the day I used a 3’ cheater pipe to break the bond. No scars no mars on barrel or action after removal

Would you recommend this? Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Time saver for turning your own bushing

I have turned my own bushings from aluminum round stock; however, this is a great time saver if you are turning your own bushing for a unique barrel size. The outside diameter already fits the barrel wrench, so you can just mount in your lathe and then turn the inside with a boring bar to the needed inside diameter, then split using your mill.

Perfect for installing Carbon barrels

This is the perfect tool for installing Christensen Arms short chambered barrels on your Rem 700 footprint receiver. The smooth hard surface can clamp right on the carbon without marking it..

Must have.

I bought this to install a barrel on a customers rifle. When measured correctly, they fit the barrel perfectly. Use an index card between the barrel and bushing for added grip and not mar the finish on the barrel. It's a must have for installing or removing a barrel.
