Am I the only one still waiting on my labor day sale VG? My guess is I get it after they ship Rokstocks...
That’s how mine sits as wellWell I got my Labor Day sale stock in a few weeks ago. Got my 6CM barreled action in today from PBB. Do all the tikka actions sit this low in the Stockys ? You can barely see the top of the engraved t3x or SN #

Looks great! Any chance you got the weight for just the barrel?Finally came in today. Mounted up the NX8 4-32 in UM Medium Rings with Bubble level, Stockys VG stock, High Desert bottom metal. Tikka Stainless with Proof 7PRC 20" barrel blank. 3 rounds of Hornady ELD-M's in the magazine. No suppressor in this weight.

Thanks,

That scope looks dangerously close to the barrel, but it could be angle/shadows. What’s the distance?Finally came in today.

So <1 mm. Isn’t the normal recommendation a minimum of 1/8” (>3 mm) to avoid contact during recoil?0.0325"
Are people really experiencing 1/8” flex in any part of their system during recoil? I’m not saying it is real, I’ve just never heard or seen that and I personally would be shocked if that were the case.So <1 mm.

No clue — it’s just what I’ve always heard. @Formidilosus, you seem to have lots of answers.Are people really experiencing 1/8” flex in any part of their system during recoil? I’m not saying it is real, I’ve just never heard or seen that and I personally would be shocked if that were the case.
Of course not, the rifles and scopes would rip themselves apart if that was the caseAre people really experiencing 1/8” flex in any part of their system during recoil? I’m not saying it is real, I’ve just never heard or seen that and I personally would be shocked if that were the case.
Many years ago I had a Leupold 6x with mil dot reticle and 42mm object mounted so low over the barrel that cash money would just barely clear. Carried that rig afield for years and years and also shot it a lot. Was always worried that some wayward pine needles or aspen twigs would get wedged in there and cause trouble, but never had an issue with it being so close. Only thing was that an objective cap was precluded; thus I used a neoprene cover on that rig.No clue — it’s just what I’ve always heard. @Formidilosus, you seem to have lots of answers.
