Do you feel a cheek riser necessary for your Tikka?

I preferred a cheek riser on my Tikka with the factory stock.

I love mine. T3x Superlite in 308 with Pic Rail, Talley 30mm Rings with my 40mm Objective. There's something, for me, not having to worry about adjustment. I'm pressing my cheek in and i'm on.

I'm not buying used CTR stocks, stealing the cheek risers, and then selling them off for no reason...

The super thin stainless barrel makes me nervous it can’t really handle an all day range sesh.

Not really an issue with Sako/Tikka barrels

Thread 'Cold bore zero versus (very) Hot bore zero “test”'

Sep 9, 2023

Discussions around “cold bore shifts” and “cold bore zeroes” versus “warm or hot barrel zeroes” are constant. So is the belief that barrels “walk” when they heat up or that groups open when they heat up.

After having multiple discussions, @Ryan Avery and Jake @Unknown Munitions and I set up a day to shoot and measure what happens. Quite a bit of discussion happened with getting everyone on the same page, and explaining the limitations and resolution that would be able to be measured. Basically- the more data, the mare accurate the results will be. However, there is a...
