Action and Barrel: Tikka T3X CTR .308

The heart of this build is the Tikka T3X CTR (Compact Tactical Rifle) chambered in .308 Winchester. Tikka rifles are renowned for their out-of-the-box accuracy and reliability.

• Cold Hammer Forged Barrel: Ensures consistent accuracy and durability.
• Smooth Bolt Operation: The T3X CTR features a refined bolt operation that enhances cycling smoothness and reliability.
• Steel Recoil Lug: Provides a rock-solid mating surface for the action and chassis, ensuring consistent accuracy.

Muzzle Brake: Strike Industries

A key component for recoil management, the Strike Industries muzzle brake is designed to reduce recoil and muzzle rise, allowing for faster follow-up shots and improved accuracy.

• Multi-Port Design: Redirects gases to minimize recoil and muzzle rise.
• High-Quality Construction: Made from durable steel to withstand the rigors of repeated firing.

Optics: Vortex Viper PST 2.5-10x Scope

Precision shooting demands precise optics, and the Vortex Viper PST 2.5-10x scope is a perfect match for this build.

• First Focal Plane Reticle: Ensures that the reticle scale remains in proportion to the zoom, aiding in range estimation and holdover corrections.
• XR Fully Multi-Coated Lenses: Provide superior light transmission and clarity.
• Robust Construction: Designed to withstand heavy recoil and rough handling, ensuring reliability in the field.

Tripod: Two Vets Recon V2

Stability is crucial for long-range shooting, and the Two Vets Recon V2 tripod offers unmatched support.

• Lightweight Carbon Fiber Construction: Combines strength and portability.
• Adjustable Leg Angles: Allow for stable shooting positions on uneven terrain.
• Quick Deployment: Enables rapid setup and adjustment in the field.

Mounting System: Area 419 ARCALOCK QD Clamp

The Area 419 ARCALOCK QD clamp is an essential component for attaching the rifle securely to the tripod.

• Quick-Detach Mechanism: Facilitates rapid mounting and dismounting.
• ARCA Rail Compatibility: Ensures a secure and stable connection to the tripod.
• Locking Mechanism: Prevents unwanted movement during shooting.

Assembly and Integration

The integration of these components begins with mounting the Tikka T3X CTR action and barrel into the WOOX Furiosa chassis. The precise machining of both the action and chassis ensures a seamless fit, optimizing the rifle’s overall accuracy potential. The adjustable features of the Furiosa chassis are fine-tuned to fit the shooter’s preferences, providing a custom-like feel.

Next, the Strike Industries muzzle brake is installed onto the barrel, significantly reducing recoil and allowing for more precise follow-up shots. The Vortex Viper PST scope is mounted onto the rifle using high-quality scope rings, ensuring that the optic is securely attached and perfectly aligned.

The Two Vets Recon V2 tripod, paired with the Area 419 ARCALOCK QD clamp, provides a stable shooting platform. The ARCALOCK QD clamp’s quick-detach feature allows for easy transitioning between shooting positions, while the tripod’s adjustable legs ensure stability on varied terrain.

Performance and Field Testing

Once assembled, the rifle undergoes rigorous field testing to ensure all components work harmoniously. The Tikka T3X CTR’s inherent accuracy is enhanced by the stability provided by the WOOX Furiosa chassis and the recoil reduction from the Strike Industries muzzle brake. The Vortex Viper PST scope offers clear and precise targeting, essential for long-range accuracy.

Conclusion

This custom build, featuring the WOOX Furiosa chassis, Tikka T3X CTR .308, Strike Industries muzzle brake, Vortex Viper PST scope, Two Vets Recon V2 tripod, and Area 419 ARCALOCK QD clamp, represents a pinnacle of precision shooting performance.
