Peak 44 Bastion Tikka Review

[ColPenguin]

I bedded a beat up 6.5 CM t3x lite and dropped in a new .223 t3x lite with no fitment or accuracy issues.

You may run into problems I think with excess epoxy in front of recoil lug and different barrel profiles (I.e lite, CTR). But ita probably more important to bed behind lug and can remove excess epoxy from barrel area with Dremel or sandpaper, should that occur.

Bed the action, not the barrel.

Just adding to this thread since I lurked on it a bunch: just got my tikka Bastion and it only weighs 21(!) oz with the lug already pre-installed by Peak44 (sounds like that’s a new thing). Icing on the cake with the fantastic ergos. Got here exactly 1 week after 90 days.

Cheek riser also was a good height, I had a victor titan with one spacer under it, came out roughly the same. Dropped right into the stock with solid accuracy. Couldn’t be happier really… and it actually looks good, novel concept.
