McMillan Mountain Tracker LR - Tikka T3 Dev Project

I appreciate the prompt response. I think I'm leaning towards picking up an LR. It sounds like the better stock overall.

Is there any issue in getting a barrel channel inletted for a larger profile, like a sendero, and then putting a D18 in? Trying not to pigeon hole myself if I decide to throw a proof on my roughtech.

No, you can sand open the barrel channel relatively easily by hand, or have a smith use a mill for a lil cleaner appearance. I usually tape off the barrel channel and spray paint it black inside anyways.

Just did this with an A5 for my tikka. Go slow and measure til you get the look you want. Easy money.

There is no downside and considerable upside to extra room in the barrel channel.
