Awesome. Thank you! that’s what I was wondering, I had asked a MDT employee awhile back and they recommended not modifying the HNT26. But it sounds like you’ve had good success with it. Does the folding stock fold and lock all the way or is the bolt in the way?
Did you modify that bolt cutout and safety room on the chassis yourself or did you have to go through a gunsmith? I'm looking to do the same for my Tikka T3x LA lefty, but with the Oryx if possible.Yeah, I never asked them, but I guess they have to assume everyone is an idiot and so they say dont do any modifications. But you are only removing very minimal material out of the stock, so not affecting the structure.
I didnt get the folder as they are not legal in all states of Australia. Mine is the fixed stock with the integral ARCA rail. You may have an issue with the bolt on a lefty interfering with the folding stock?
This is a photo of my ARC Mausingfield long action 300 Norma. Same deal as the other photo, just a RH converted to LH.
I had a gunsmith do it. You COULD do it yourself with just a file, but I wanted it to look as good as possible, so had it done by someone who can drive a mill.
That is probably the smart way to go. Looking at it, at least with the Oryx chassis, the only thing that would have to be cut is the bolt cutout. I don't think the safety will have any issues and shouldn't need any cutting with the Oryx.
Do you still have your OEM lefty tikka stock?
I do but I still haven’t upgraded.
If you make the upgrade. Let me know I’ll buy your OEM
how much? i have two.
What kind of condition are they in
Are you still looking for a Tikka OEM stock?
I looked at ordering a left hand rokstock for a Tikka, so it should be an option. I imagine UM removed it so they could get caught up on backorders. Hopefully they don’t kill the left handed option.
i have one ordered from the first day. Just waiting to get it
