Just posted this in the classifieds as well, but I’m in the market for a left hand carbon fiber stock for a T3x with a barrel channel that will work for a Carbonsix Sendero. Would like to get my first build put together before hunting season, which is unlikely to happen if I buy new and wait. Shoot me a message if you have anything. I’m open to anything but Stocky’s. Went 0/2 on the last two I bought from them. Thanks!

Tikka T3x Stainless Action
PBB 16.25” 6creed in Hybrid Lite contour
Stocky’s VG CF stock in Strata
UM rings
UM level
S&B Klassic 3-12x42

Just waiting on my suppressor!

I had a dream about this setup in this caliber last night. Such a smart build IMHO!!

A few questions:
Did the Stocky’s require bedding or inletting top or bottom?

What’s the max killing range with your chosen load at that barrel length?

Did you consider glassing in some ARCA or Pic or a Spartan gunsmith adapter?

1) No bedding, but I haven’t shot it seriously yet. Was waiting on the new scope and rings. I’m going out of town for a couple weeks so plan to shoot when I get back. No inletting either.

2) Running numbers from someone else’s setup, I think the 108 ELD-M hit 1800 at around 600 yards. I’m not a good enough shot for live game at that distance — hopefully with some more practice though! I’ll chrono soon hopefully and then know more.

3) I did consider an arca rail, and even posted a DIY thread about it here. But most arcas are flat, and the Stocky’s is slightly rounded forearm. Also, I taped one in place and just spent some time fondling the rifle, only to find I didn’t like having an arca permanently attached. It’s not comfortable to carry in the hand, and it made shooting offhand harder. I’m hopeful there’s a better solution than permanent arca attachments coming soon — something like a removable arca similar to how the Spartan bipods attach.

Maybe this plus a gunsmith adapter is your huckleberry?

Tikka Action from J A Outdoors with a Bartlein 3b barrel cut to 18” and threaded for the harvester evo. Leupold vx3 3.5x10 and a compact tikka stock that I had to dremel out to fit the barrel profile finished it off for now. Probably will end up in a chasis at some point.

Sort of, except if the Spartan adapter was recessed into the stock. I don’t want anything clunky attached where my hand goes or where I may rest the forearm on a rock/limb/etc.

My latest build is quite the shooter. Used it for the cold bore challenge after getting a load put together for it.

These sit completely flush like a QD cup.
