 This was one of the guns Chad put together a couple years ago in a "group buy. Shot amazing as it was but...... I had mess with it. Hopefully she still shoots. Added the Lss chassis, titanium bolt shroud, and a titanium handle with the carbon fiber bolt knob. I'm going to make a run to the lease and test it out this weekend.  w

Looks good, LSS chassis is nice and lite. I have had one on a 7mm08 for about three years and really like it.

Nice gun!
Forgive me for the stupid question, but what is the functional purpose of an aftermarket bolt shroud?

That would have been smart. I don't even play a smart guy on tv. I never got to shoot it this weekend. Maybe next week.

I don't have one of those, nor have I changed the bolt shroud on any of the Tikkas.

I'm not against it at all. Everyone is free to do as they like. All in saying is I haven't done it. Don't look into it deeper, because there's nothing more to it.
