Hi guys,
Well, originally i got my Tikka T3 Stainless .270 Win in "innocent" form. But with some help and ideas from fellow forum members i have decided slightly personalized my rifle so it can display some character...;-)
I have on it now McGowen muzzle brake (installed by good old McGowen himself - i'm lucky enough to know Mr. Harry McGowen - he is still working in his house - as some of you may know McGowen family sold business to new owners in 2007 and they are producing barrels and actions out of Montana now). I have also installed EGW Picatinny Rail and Karsten cheek rest. I'm posting pictures below:

Thanks guys - for last few days this baby is going through "painting" surgeries in my garage. I think i'm done with stock painting and want to see final result after taking "bandages" off...;-)...i'm still not sure what to do with barrel - to paint or not paint? - that is the question...

@shooting - i hope to spend some quality time at the range this weekend.
