Having trouble with my Tikka

[Cmac]

I pulled it apart tonight. The recoil lug looks fine. However there’s a shiny spot on each side of the barrel where the stock is contacting it. The finish is worn from it rubbing under recoil.

Anyone think this could be the issue?

I realize this is a couple year old thread but I’m having a similar grouping issue with a new T3X in 7MM-08. Took the stock off and noticed I had the same wear marks as this. Did you ever address the rings in the stock? Were you able to get your groups tightened up? Thanks!

Some Tikkas have shot better and more consistently with the "speed bump" removed, while others have done better with the bump. If it's not shooting well with the bump, I'd not hesitate to fire up the Dremel.
