Howdy Folks,

I'm new to the hunting scene and I just purchased a Tikka T3x. I'm looking to shorten the LOP. 12.5" works well in a T-shirt, and 11.5" would be ideal when I'm layered up. Has anyone modified their existing stock with some type of contraption for an adjustable shorter LOP? It is a hunting rifle, so I'd like to keep it as light as possible. However, I also understand beggars can't be choosers.

Additional Info:
-I can't find anything aftermarket that will work. KRG and Boyd are the closest at 12 5/8". If you know of something I've missed, please bring it up.
-Tikka makes a compact stock, but it's only 12.5"

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Cut your stock and use wood (or 3d print something if you want) and epoxy to make a new place/insert to screw the recoil pad to. Will likely need a grind to fit pad. Cervallati is a good lightweight pad.

This is from overseas, but a good overall process idea:
