Best contour for tikka t3x action

[jtr1997]

I have a tikka roughtech 6 5 prc that im going to redo into a 6.5 saum. Gun is in a stockys stock and id prefer not to have to open the channel. Im either going bartlien brux or Krieger steel barrel finished at 26. Anybody know what contours would best fit for me?

Unless you get a Tikka profile, you are going to have to open up the stock as almost all of the standard contour barrels from the major makers have a shank taper length longer than the factory Tikka contours.

Got it. Those stocks are usually for a Tikka D18 profile barrel. 18mm barrel.

Here are measurements of the Tikka D18 barrel profile for reference, which is fully free floated in the alpine and roughtec stocks, but I’ve always relieved them a bit on my guns…
