Stocky’s Hunter VG Tikka stock

[Njadams13]

I finally got my rifle back from the gunsmith and had time to put the stock on. The bottom metal inlet took quite a bit of work to get both the stock and lumley bottom metal to sit properly. I also noticed that the bottom metal does not sit flush with the stock. Other photos of bottom metal from this thread also appear to not sit flush.

I got the sporter contour barrel channel and it’s a tight fit. I checked and it’s free floated all the way to the receiver. Overall I think it looks pretty good and the final weight, as pictured is, 8.4lbs.

What is everyone torquing their action screws to? I have them at 45 lbs currently.

I have mine at 65 inch pounds.

Has anybody installed flush cups in theirs? Particularly interested if there is enough material in the forend to install one? I had a vg2 and there was no problem but the vg hunter looks like it may be thinner

Post #1369 of this thread shows mine. I used GrovTec cups and epoxied them in.

I have one Lumley bottom metal and its fits tight in all my stocks. factory, Stockys, pure precision. Function is great though.

I’ve done from 55-65in lbs it all shot the same for me.

I ran a few pieces of sand paper down my barrel channel to open it a touch on my t3x lite contour. It was free floated but not much wiggle room. Gave me piece of mind to have a solid gap.
