Skip the BC and get a Mcmillan or AG That Mcmillan is twice the price of the B&C. I'm not convinced that it will take me from a 1/2" group to a 1/4" group, or if I need it. Once I find something that works, it's hard to go away from it. I have decided to stay away from the heavy barrel Super Varmint, may get one of the T3'such as the Roughtek, they come threaded with a brake. Taking a T3 and putting it in a B&C stock and going to bottom metal won't get me threaded with a brake, and I'm thinking the 7mm Rem. Mag would need it. This rifle is going to maybe have 6-7 rounds per year through it, once I get it set up. The B&C is a very solid upgrade from the factory stock. I spent weeks looking at every stock available for my lefty T3. There's absolutely nothing better for the price and immediate shipping. I love McMillan but they were $400 more with a delivery date of ain't-no-telling-when. My little cheap-o rifle has already killed a bunch of chit in the meantime. In fact, it dropped a nice sambar in Port O'Connor yesterday. Did you draw a hunt on the Powderhorn WMA? My buddy's son won the draw. I let him use my rifle and he dropped the hammer on a nice one. I'd love to hunt down there sometime.
Haha yea I polished that thing for hours.

So I shopped today, people saying Scheels is expensive ain't always right. Rifle cant be found anywhere, close to $1100.00 on line, and long wait. I bought this identical scope I think five years ago. Scheel's had both on the shelf. Walked up and couldn't believe it was in the caliber I wanted. The scope was $899.00, they have more. I don't see it for less than $1099.00 anywhere, and their on back order. They didn't have the rail I want, may be a while before I get to shoot it.

Tikka put that hole for a recoil lug there for a reason.

Because sometimes you can't find a pic rail with that stud in it, in stock. I'm just telling you that it's fine if it doesn't have it.
I imagine you have the ability to wait if needed. Often, I do not.

It was easy to find, Scheels just didn't have it in stock. I'd cancel the EGW, or put it on a Gen 1 and order the Gen 2 rail from Midway.

I like Warne, and have used them for a really long time issues.

I'd go straight to the rail with a Sportsmatch ring, and it has the recoil lug. They are bulletproof.

Pretty, very pretty, but can it shoot? Soon find out. All this and I'll prolly end up killing one at 100 yards that I could have killed with just about anything I already had.
