New Stock on Tikka T3X - 10/01/18 11:38 PM
I bought a new Tikka T3X lite in April. I have to adpound it I am dinosaur, and as such have never had a composite stock or stainless Gun. I chose the Tikka T3X SS in the 6.5 creedmoor after a lot of reading and yes I fell in love with some of the shots I had seen these guys making. Well it shoots good but lots of plastic (stock and trigger guard).
I broke down and ordered the bottom metal from High Desert Research and ordered a Bell & Carlson stock from B&C. I like the gun in fact I am very fond of it, I got the bottom metal in last week and the stock came in today. It was supposed to be a drop in and for the most part it was. I had to take the dremel tool to it and a file for a burr on the aluminum block but all minor work. The bottom line is: it's assembled and can't wait to shoot it. It feels much "gooder" than the tikka stock and only weighs .25 more so total weight went from 8.25 to 8.5 scope and all.
