Aftermarket Stock or Chassis

[970thinair]

I have been tempted to buy a new rifle. However, my current hunting rifles (Tikka T3 in 300 WM and Weatherby Vangard in 257) are both shooters. Rather than buying a new rifle, I've thought about upgrading the factory stocks with aftermarket stocks or chassis. Would it be worth the money? I'm sure they may look better but I'm more concernerd with functionality and performance. Any input would be appreciated.

What are you wanting to improve over your current rifles?

Shooting comfort and maybe accuracy. The current stocks work okay but the ergonomics are not awesome.

Look into the rokstok for your tikka.

I felt the Stocky's NextGen VG2 was both an ergonomic and performance upgrade on my 6.5-300Wby Vanguard over the factory stock. I felt it was worth the money. YMMV.

It's going to be up to you to decide if spending the money on a stock or chassis is worth it. If the rifles already shoot well as is, I don't think tossing it into a different stock or chassis will make a huge difference other than potentially better ergos.

That being said, I'm not a huge fan of the factory Tikka stock, so I tossed my CTR in a KRG Bravo and it's been great. For Tikka, you could always look at a Stockys VG or Rokstok (if they ever become available again).
