Two Tikka 308 rifles - M65 Supersporter and ultra rare M65A
Guys,
I continue to have a need to release funds and as my TMR1 foxing rifle isn't moving I'm going to try these two as well. If both go there will then be a sale of reloading dies and components in 308.
The rifles:
I have owned both for about ten years and both have been shot 2/3 times yearly with my total round count in the hundreds rather than the thousands but please note that I have no previous history to go with these lovely old Tikkas. Both shoot well, the M65 Supersporter certainly does well for me at the local 600 yard gallery range. The M65A has seen rather less use other than as a spare stalking rifle.
Tikka M65 Supersporter
I think this may have been someone's TR rifle in the past. The barrel which appears to carry Tikka factory markings is fluted and turned down at the muzzle, presumably for fitting a foresight. Large bolt knob fitted, the stock has been refinished in clear varnish with a Tikka sticker on the adjustable cheekpiece. Comes fitted with 20x Supersniper type scope with rear adjust parallax. Bipod not fitted.
I'm asking £500 for this shooter.
Tikka M65A
You know what this is - rarer than unicorn poo!
Selling this is like letting go of grandfather's watch but times being what they are...
Everything works, nothing is broken, standard factory fit bipod, the stock adjusts every which way. Currently fitted with a Leupold scope (details to follow) and quick adjust sling. Certainly not shot out, I've put maybe 75 rounds through in the last 4 years.
I may be able to find some spares, I think there's a second mag somewhere but for the rifle as per the image in view of its rarity value I'm asking £800.
In both cases any cost of inter RFD transfer to be met by the buyer.

That 65A looks beautiful. Sorry but I just don't have the funds - which is why I am restoring an old PH 1200TX

Believe it or not, I had an M65A as well. I also let it go, about 10 years ago actually....

In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Then I need to sell either the TMR1 or the M65. sign92Sim G wrote:Believe it or not, I had an M65A as well. I also let it go, about 10 years ago actually....

We both agree the M65A looks rather nice, and tempting as well....
Re: Two Tikka 308 rifles - M65 Supersporter and ultra rare
The M65A looks awesome!

The M65A is now living in my house, a minute of so after tikkathreebarrels had left it was in bits, down to the smallest screw/washer. It has now been cleaned, barrel and all and put back together. A wise man once told me that when you clean an item you look as well and that way you get to know what you have. It is just what I wanted, a rifle I can shoot out to 1000m and buy ammo off the shelf, when I take the 22C places I am dependent on my reloads.
Lovely it is :shakeshout:
Thanks tikkathreebarrels!
Who by the way is a pleasure to deal and chat with.
