If the Sakos had after market stocks, I would get one. I just don’t like any of their stocks that I have held. I really wanted their carbon hunter, but their carbon stock had forearm flex. Until that day, I will just go with the Tikka even though after I do the mods I want it ends up close in cost.
I never measured to the lans on my tikka 6.5cm, so what you say makes sense, since I load to max mag length of the m+ and everything is smooth. I used Staball 6.5 and get 2750 out of a suppressed 16” barrel with the 130tmk.

That’s good to hear. I just got my blacktooth and am not sure it’s an improvement over the Stockys… I think you just convinced me to spend more money and get the echelon

Get an alignment rod and check your can alignment.

The lion in my avatar was 10ish yards. Was calling for javelina. Looked up and this dude was staring into my soul from the bushes in front of me.
Shot him in the neck with a snap shot, he busted a 180 hauling ass, blood spurting out, made it to another hill about 120ish yards away and cut...
