AG Composites Tikka Stock Review

[Avezorak]

It doesn't fit perfectly flush.

Thanks for the reply. That seems to be a common thing.

I just received my AG composite stock from https://omrifles.com/ . I have a tikka t3 30-06 with Tikka Performance mag and bottom metal and I'm itching to get it fitted for opening season! How are you liking the mount adapter by spartan? They look very appealing. This thread is what got me to make the purchase.

Thanks

Justin, What powder do you use in your loads? Would think that such a short barrel would not be able to burn the powder from a 6.5-06AI. Cool looking rifle, though. Some day, I'd like to get one of those stocks for my TIkka.

Is it noticeably annoying?

Here are a couple pics of mine. It sits flush at the front and back, but the shape of the stock makes the middle of the bottom metal sit below the stock.

Thank you for the pics! Still looks good

The only potential issue is the plastic bottom metal failing. I haven’t used mine hard, but the balance point of the gun is near the bottom metal, and the plastic does flex a bit because it is exposed in the middle, I haven’t had any issues, but if personally didn’t love the situation. Go
with an aftermarket metallic bottom “metal” and this is resolved

That’s good feedback thanks…yeah I have Mountain Tactical’s Metal bottom metal.

Should have looked at wildcat composites out of Alberta. I’ve used 2 on tikkas. Build weight is around 18oz. That was my .300wsm

How much did one of those stocks cost you?

What

I have been working on a lightweight 6.5-06 AI and the last piece for this puzzle was a solid, lightweight stock. I am a big fan of Tikka actions and like to have rifles built on them when the length works. Since there aren't all that many aftermarket stocks available (campared to a Rem 700 action) I was excited when I heard that AG Composites was going to be building a couple different options.

Rifle Specs:
Tikka T3 action with factory bottom plastic and magazine
Bolt fluted (can't remember the company that did it)
18.5" Fluted McGowen barrel chambered in 6.5-06 Ackley Improved
Gen 1 Micro Bastard muzzle brake
AG Composites Privateer stock
Talley lightweight, one piece rings with top bubble level
Nikon M5 riflescope

The rifle was built by Whaley Precision and the Ceracoating was done by Sowastrong Industries.

color is the cerakote?
