Rokstock Tikka Action

[edevans]

When looking at stocks for tikka T3x, I am seeing options for long action and short action.

But when looking at the rokstock, there is just an option for a tikka T3x action (no specification for long or short action), does that mean both tikka long action and short action will work with the rokstock?

Also what barrel channel options for the rokstock allow for the most customization down the road?

Thanks for the help!

Some chassis type stocks are setup for AICS LA or SA magazines. Rokstock can be ordered to accept factory T3X bottom metal that will work with SA and LA Tikka mags. Largest barrel channel available will be the most versatile.

Yes, all tikka actions are long actions. The bolt cycle distance is limited by the bolt stop in each particular tikka action.

Best barrel channel for future proofing is the proof sendero, as it is the largest.

Long action vs short action Tikka stocks only matters if they are a chassis or not using factory tikka style bottom metal. If they use standard tikka bottom metal inlet, long action and short action are the same.

Is there a way to have a rokstock tikka T3x be updated to using aics mags?

There's a few bottom metal options that accept AICS mags but I'm not familiar with any of them. I'm sure there's a few guys here with experience.

Yes, there are some options that use tikka CTR inlet for AICS bottom metal. MDT makes a bottom metal to fit this. Also, a standard bottom metal inlet can be opened up a bit to fit red snake AICS bottom metal but that is a DIY or gunsmith affair rather than spec to order off. I've looked primarily at short action, not sure on exact long action options/needs.
