Stocky’s Hunter VG Tikka stock

[Balderdash]

When I took the oem pad off -the carbon shell only covered the top and bottom 1/4 of the butt pad and there was a void in the foam so I filled the gap with expanding foam shaped it flush then covered the whole butt with jb quik weld, I filled the oem screw holes until it spurted out. I’ll sand this flat then when I’m done with paint and attach the air tech for good I might glue it on as well as screws.

FWIW, a little 3M 5200 will make sure that the pad will never come loose. Have used it for years rigging boats and in a ton of other applications, and have found it to be a wholy amazing sealant/adhesive. Amazing the smooth surfaces it'll fully bond to.

The option for a CTR barrel and standard T3X bottom-metal inlet would be really nice.

Fixed it for you. @Stockys

My assumption is that bottom metal inlet and barrel channel inlets are independent of each other. But maybe thats not a safe assumption?

Yes 5200 is awesome

I would assume that as well. I'm simply lobbying to ensure that is a possibility.

Ctr bottom typically has ctr barrel even though some people find ctr bottoms and mags on lite barrels

I started painting my VG Hunter today. I taped it off and lightly sanded the grip and fore end and then added three coats of spray on Herculiner bed liner for texture. Next part will be a light sanding of the rest of the stock with 600 grit wet-dry paper, an alcohol wipe down, and then using a natural sponge to add a bit of tan and green camo over the carbon fiber. Then I’ll hit it with a clear coat over the top to seal it. I’ll post more pics as I get more done.

Shorten the trigger reach, negative comb. Most of the other stuff can be done by the buyer or any decent smith.

Is there going to be a thumb shelf cut out like on manners LRH/PRS stocks? I know McMillan has that on some of the game warden/hunter stocks as well.

 

[david2duck]

This is awesome. Thanks everyone involved. Probably buy 2-3 to start off.

 

[JeffRaines]

I'd also be in for at least one if it ends up being what's described.

 

[Carl Ross]

Hopefully this will eliminate my thoughts of making my own, I do NOT need another project, and there's an excellent chance I'll like this one.

Done but needs to cure. I added thee coats of matte clear coat after two-tone sponge painting. The black you see is bare carbon fiber. The Herculiner added some nice texture where it was needed. It gained 1 oz with the paint job. Still 5 oz lighter than what I took off with way better ergonomics. I’m happy.

What stock is this? Love the paint job. Custom or ordered like that?

Ha! I thought he quoted @ElPollo in the post right before his.


Fixed it.

Finally got around to mounting my stock today. Everything fit great and dropped right in I couldn’t be happier with the fit. Unfortunately when torqued to 55 in/lbs my rear action screw pulled through the factory bottom metal. Is the mountain tactical the best replacement bottom metal? Should I try and find another factory and hope it doesn’t happen again? Anybody have any other solutions?

Find another factory. Mine are all at 60
