Make your Tikka awesome for $85 - Full Frame Outdoors Tikka Stock Kit

[Rugger7622]

I got one of the early design models last summer and have run around 300 rounds through a 22 creed with it. I didn't get the riser, I already had one. I like the length of pull addition and I drilled into the bag rider and added a sling mount with no issues. The grip is thicker than the vg tikka, I'm still getting used to it.

I wish the grip had a small thumb shelf in it.

I also like the concept of cutting the stock and having a version that would raise the heel up more in inline with the bore.

Got mine in the mail today. Some initial impressions in no particular order:

• The fit on the pieces is tight, like OEM tight. I was really impressed with how they "snapped" into place
• I ordered the medium cheek riser version, and it give me basically the perfect cheek weld
• The finish is a bit more textured than I would like. I could see it collecting a lot of dirt but time will tell
• I didn't realize it from the photos, but probably should have, you have to remove the rear sling stud to use the bag rider. Not an issue for me because I use a Kifaru Gun Bearer rather than a sling, but worth keeping in mind if you use a sling
• The grip is noticeably thicker than the Tikka vertical grip. I think I'm a fan, but need to see how it actually feels when shooting.
• The extra LOP and change in recoil pad angle you get from the bag rider is really nice. I'm 6'4 and have long arms, so probably needed a bit extra LOP on my rifle anyway. I could see it being an issue for smaller shooters.

I probably won't be able get to the range for a few weeks, but I'm excited to see if I notice major differences over stock when shooting. Just based on my initial impressions, I think the kit was well worth the ~$90

Does this kit change how your gun fits in the gunbearer?

The bag rider adds a bit of width to the stock, so the fit in the cradle is slightly more snug. That said, it works just fine still
