Stockys Tikka Hunter

[Tanner]

Looking for some actual weights from folks that own this stock with the sporter barrel channel in the “Hunter” style (non VG) stock. I’ve heard weights ranging from 21oz-27oz and would like to know a bit more… if you’ve got one how do you like the ergos and grip, etc…

Thanks all

Anybody?

Got one it is light, and very solid. Grabbed one for like 230$ I haven’t weighed it but just over 20oz sounds about right?

21.5oz for me. I’ll see if I took a picture. It was one from 2-3 years ago not sure if anything changed.

Wanna’ sell it? appreciate the feedback. Wonder why they list it being so much heavier on the site.

Haha nope, I have it on a 16” .223, I’m happy with it gave it some texture and rattle canned it it’s a great little stock

Good to hear. What do you think of the grip area and comb height ?

It’s similar to most other hunter style stocks, I am going to add a vector cheek riser mine was pretty slick being CF so I went with textured spray paint on the grip areas

If you want a hunter style stock I would look at the Peak 44. It has a negative comb and listed weight of 20oz.

I think the new ones may have a heavier fill because that is what happened with the model 70 stocks

I'd replied to a post a while back about one I've been using. It's the only one I've used. Info from my previous post below. I used it a few times this past year when still hunting in the rain and took a thick but young (to young) buck with it. It's a nice stock for offhand shooting. The grip is open like the EH8, but it is a "thicker" grip than the EH8, not as slim/trim. I like it for a light classic style specifically for a Tikka...for the same use with a Rem action I'd prefer the EH8.

"I've been shooting one of the "classic" grip models for Tikka with Lite barrel inlet for a while. It's a good stock for offhand shooting and hunting where someone won't be shooting from prone. Free float is even and fairly close. Stock is stiff enough that I can't make the barrel touch. I think mine weighs 21.5 oz with recoil lug so it's pretty light. With a .308 stainless Lite ba, UM Low rings, UM level, and a S&B 1.5-6x42 Klassic it's just a few oz's over 7 lbs.

I think it's the best stock for the $ if someone is focused on light weight and wants a "classic" styled stock."

I’d love to snag a Peak44 as well but it’s a few more shekels than I want to throw at this particular rifle.
