How light can you get a tikka?

[Macintosh]

Thats light. What does LOP end up at in those P44 stocks? For some reason I had it in my head they were shorter than normal.

My Bastion is 13”. Pretty short for sure but it feels good.

My sample of one is 13.25”.

Personally, I prefer shorter LOP. It makes it easier to square up behind the rifle properly. Especially with layers or a pack on.

I think I looked into one at some point, that sounds like what I remembered. Totally fair on the length preference, Im just really tall and been grooved-in with longer for 30+ years, so it stuck with me. My plan on my current stock was to replace the current pad with a thicker microcell, should be same or maybe an ounce or two lighter than it is currently.

I am struggling to get below 8lbs all in. This includes a CAN. Maybe if I switch to airlock and Talley or Hawkins rings I can get there

Have you had a chance to put this together? Where did it end up?
Just got mine back from cut/thread as well. Mine landed at 6lb 12 oz for the gun + 3-9 trijicon in sportsmatch rings, so 7lb 5oz with my suppressor.

That is badass. Is a 19oz McMillan a typo?

No. Reach out to 10 second precision (High Desert) - they have a couple left but can order more.

I'll post up a dedicate thread once I get my 88 TMK's loaded.

I am at 9.2 lbs with ammo in a 6.5CM cut to 16” TBAC u7 rail, Warne rings maven 1.2. RS stock In could lose 10ozs going back to the bastion stock.

That being said I am waiting on a new barrel for a Tikka in 6.5 Grendel with the plan of using the Bastion stock and a SWFA 6x. This is my sub 300 yard set up. Goal will be 7.8 lbs.

Yeah, I’m intrigued…

That’s extremely light for a McM.

What is included in that 19oz?

As you see it. Comes with a recoil lug, choose your own bottom metal. I’m taking out the swivel studs and installing a 4” SRS Arca plate.

Only about twenty rounds down range but so far I love it. Minor gripes:

No buttpad above bore, but I’ll fix that with a 3D printed solution to dial in LOP anyway.

No QD cups but I have some I’ll install.
