Let's See Your Semi-Custom Tikka Builds

This rifle is a factory 6.5 PRC Tikka T3x Lite cut to 20" and threaded 9/16-24, set in a Stocky's Rokstok. I'm shooting a Silencerco Omega 36M suppressor fitted with an LS Wild cover, mounted on an Area419 Hellfire adapter. The stock is fitted with a Lumley Arms (Arctic) bottom metal and an Unknown Munitions bolt knob/handle. An SWFA 3-15x42mm gen 2 scope sits atop, mounted in UM medium rings and bubble level. I am currently using a Wilderness Systems Langlois Rhodesian Sling, but would prefer something with a non-slip shoulder pad.

I was having difficulty getting behind this rifle, until I added a Limbsaver Slip-on recoil pad to add some LOP to the stock. Looks like this stock needs to go back to UM for a spacer kit. This rifle comes fresh from the field with a "custom" ding in the objective bell and a touch of surface rust finish, after harvesting a spike bull 😁.
What kind of speed are you getting out of that 20" barrel?
 
Factory 6.5 PRC, Manner stock bedded by unknown, load development also by unknown. 124 Hammer Hunters 3200+ fps. Dead air Nomad Ti. Last three shot in the red.

For those of you using a stockys Hunter VG.. thoughts? How’s the fit/finish, ergonomics, etc. Asking because their current 30% sale is tempting at the moment..

Tough to beat for the price
Re Fit and finish
Fit- might require some fitting, might drop in. Lug needs to be bedded
Finish- their paint jobs are good and cover imperfections in the carbon
Ergos- better than most trigger reach just a touch long for some, non issue for me. Comfortable to shoot in all field positions

They’re not a McMillan or Manners, but they are strong. As mentioned, trigger reach is a little long. But, absolutely the best deal you’ll get on a CF stock, that does what it should do. Get you one!

I've got a VG2 and a McMillan, strongly prefer the Stocky's. The fit/finish is not on the same level as the McMillan, but the ergos are better, especially if you send it to @Tanner first for his epoxy texture and palm swell job. Every time a buddy handles that stock they want to know where they can get one...can't be beat, let alone for the price. I hear guys complain about the trigger reach but I've got XL hands so can't comment.

Alright alright you’ve all sold me.

@Tanner … let’s talk texturing
 
Just dropped mine off to lose 4" of barrel and get threads. I believe my rifle with scope is 7lbs 11oz as it is now. I'd like to get it a bit under 7 lbs. without a can. I think with losing 4" and replacing the stock with a blacktooth I can get there.

Wife just bought an Omega 300 and I just ordered a tikka 243 in lefty for my daughter so the stock may have to be a next year project.

Are those UM micro height tikka rings?
