Absolutely, Clay will be my first stop if we can't get them direct.

Stockys sells direct to Canada too, so hopefully there’s an option to have them involved in the shipping arena if UM won’t. If it ends up being a broker deal with Prophet River, let’s get as many Canucks involved as possible and make it worth their while. Cheaper for us maybe too?

Form I don't know beans about rifle stock design but I'm wondering how well the reverse comb stock plays with getting your head in the correct spot for good eye relief? It seems like it might be a bit tricky since the further you move back/forward as dictated by eye relief will result in your eye being slightly too low or high. Am I imagining things? Either way I'm excited for the chance to check out an aftermarket stock which I had never considered buying.

How about 1.6’ish inch trigger reach?

Sounds about perfect. It might take a couple years, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it changes the market.

I’ll buy some for me, but I should probably buy a couple extras for people that shoot mine, who don’t want to wait for their own.

You adjust your scope forward/back to set eye relief not your head position. Your head position will be based on your LOP and natural head position.

Pretty slick stock. You know what the stock weighs??

 

[roosiebull]

We went all in on function and shootability.

That’s all I care about, I’d be pre ordering if it only came in muddy girl

I’m excited about it.

Never weighed just the stock sorry.

Ability to field carry by the stock comfortably is an important requirement in my opinion. Most of these new stock designs have WAY too fat (square) forends and make field carrying a crap experience.

I agree, my rifle with a bravo and my wife’s with an xlr are not great for field carry, but I will make that compromise for shot ability if I have to. Anymore I don’t carry my rifle in hand much so I don’t care that much, but I certainly understand what you’re saying

I was carrying my sis in law’s tikka yesterday through some steep stuff and forgot how nice it is to carry vs a chassis

I know I'm way too late to make suggestions....so I have a question because maybe it was already taken into account when making this stock. Will the sides of the stock be low kind of like they are on the manners pro hunter so that you can fit any 700 clone into the rem 700 version of this stock?

No shooting yet. This isn’t a “hey we had a great idea one morning” thing. This is 20 years building and I/we know what we want it to do. Before a single stock will be sold, I/we will shoot and use the hell out of a preproduction sample and I expect some small tweaks to be made.

Did not mean to put you on the defensive, just curious on the process. Its perfectly clear you all know what you want.
I know the frankenstock will eventually result in a mold, and depending on the construction molds can be really difficult to modify, so was just curious on the process, thats all.

Now if only Tikka could have flush fit mags like that!

I asked that, along with several other questions when I toured the facility in Finland. Their answer was basically, “we are already encroaching on the Sako models from what the original intent of the Tikka offering started as.”

They are basically trying to keep the product offerings as “premium Sako” and “cost effective Tikka”.

Those stainless flush mount double stack mags on my Sako 75s and 85s are a thing of beauty.

It’s all good, not defensive at all. We’ve been getting a lot of PM’s, texts, and questions about it, which is a good thing. Quite a few people either don’t understand the use we are making it for, or are worried that it will turn into a big heavy/blocky thing- it won’t. It will be as svelte as it can be to remain fully functional.

The only advantage of the Sako mag is it must be depressed to remove, essentially eliminating the chance of it falling out.
The staggered mags can be temperamental and require bending feed lips to function, single stack is superior imo

Free hand shooting is easier with flush mag. One less thing to catch on pack/clothing etc as well. Double stack allows for more bullets than Tikka while still remaining flush.

I’ve used 10 stainless double stack Sako mags since the late 90s. They all still function like new. What Sako mags have you had to bend feeding lips on?

85 finnlight in 270 wsm, 6.5x55. Classic in 7-08.
They all required some adjustment, the short mag needed a trip back to get serviced, they had issues getting it to run and sent it back with 2 additional magazines. They worked most of the time but not 100%

The tikka magazine doesn’t protrude far enough to catch on anything nor interfere with off hand shooting.

4 round double stack isn’t superior to 3 round single stack in any meaningful way. I’ll take 3 reliable rounds every time over 4 questionable ones but I’m weird like that

I agree with your reliability argument and if you’ve had field failures I’d be skeptical like you.

I do find it easier to off hand shoot with flush mags over protruding. I take a lot of off hand shots and prefer the sakos over my tikkas.

Edit: I also prefer a 6+1 flush mount over a 3+1 protruding mag any day of the week.

 

[amassi]

I also have to shoot offhand a lot, still hunt and stalk in thick stuff where seated/kneeling is out of the question
I might be crazy and have never measured but the Tikkas feel slimmer around the mag well and fit in my hand better.
