Good looking stock! What's the weight of that build?

Weighs 6 lbs 4 oz!

That's amazing! What are the componants?

Yeah got it this week.

How was the fit of the action into the stock and the rest of the inletting? Seem good?

Still no Tikka offering

Took some dremeling for the bolt release and a few spots inside but bedded up nicely!

Good looking rifle! Are you not going to fix the ejection port on the stock for the defiance? I’ve done several Peak 44’s and it’s a pretty simple process and looks so much better. I will say they are a great stock but I am very unimpressed with their customer service. I’ve ordered several of their stocks and most have been great but I did receive one that the bottom metal inletting was off .080”. You couldn’t even bolt an action in the stock. Relatively easy fix but sent pictures to Peak and their response was that stinks, sorry about that. No attempt to make it right or offer to take the stock back.

That's super lame! I was trying to get a few better pics of the wrist of the stock from them like a year ago and they were not helpful. They told me that I could just buy one and then pay to return it if I didn't like it.

Planning on doing that this weekend along with pic rail for bipod and mount the scope!

The smith I go to builds his own brakes and 7 prc.

Any new update on these stocks? I'm doing a 7PRC build on a Kelbly's Atlas Lite and they told me that it should fit. Just ordered one. Hoping and praying...

It’ll fit but there may be some small inletting issues to address such as ejection port or bolt release. No big deal. I’ve done a lot of them on defiance actions and it’s pretty easy

Very nice. That mostly just a dremel job?

Dremel and files for me. And some touch up paint to make it look purdy!

 

[MTMeatHunter]

I followed back up with Peak 44 today and they said they’re looking to have the Tikka inlet done “in the next couple of months but don’t have an exact date yet”. Man, want one pretty bad.

 

[Gonewest]

They told me in the beginning of July that they would be releasing a tikka stock in mid August.

 

[Biggern'yurs]

Reviving this one as I just received my stock. It turns out that the "Sendero" barrel channel does not fit a Carbon 6 Sendero.. just FYI. I'll have to some carving.

Also, it came with a 13" LOP which I feels really short. The website doesn't list LOP for the Bastion and it's not on the order form. JD at Peak said that I could send it back to get a new one made but it would take another 90 days. I'm trying to decide if It's worth it to me to send it back to just deal with the LOP and carve out the barrel channel. I have 5k into this gun and I hate to settle.

 

[Biggern'yurs]

Could anyone with a Bastion measure their LOP for me? I'm having issues with Peak correcting the issue.

 

[SDHNTR]

Reviving this here. Any new thoughts on the Bastion now that hopefully a few more are seeing some action?

Could anyone measure the trigger reach?
