Stockys tikka stock

[robtattoo]

How did you mount the Picatinny rail? Did you drill in from the top an install T-nut for a machine screw, drill a hole and use threaded screw from the bottom, or other? I have VG stock and an SRS Pic/Arca rail to install and am evaluating which method to use.

I drilled a hole right through for a No.10 machine screw at the back, then counter bored the inlet for a nyloc nut. The front, I had to counter bore the hole in the rail to seat the sling stud a little deeper & then simply used that with its original nut.

mine is certainly on the first run for the left handers and weights 22 oz with limbsaver recoil pad and ti lug bedded in. i kept the carbon natural looks. i used it on a 308 but not keeping. the tikka t3x works good enough for me.

Very much so, yes! I had the vertical grip on the factory stock & much preferred it for all shooting positions. The trigger reach on the Stocky's is a little longer, but I have average sized hands & don't find it to be an issue.

I bought mine in plain, unfinished carbon & did my own paint.

What did you spray it with to get it textured mine is too slick specially on wet days

I purchased a stocky carbon fiber for my Weatherby Vanguard. Fit and finish was great. To make it less sticky I have used bed liner spray and painted over it.

I have the VG as well. Love it for the price especially. I find comb height is sufficient. I do need to add some texture. I ordered in bare carbon and painted myself. Bare carbon is typically a very fast turnaround. Paint is what adds a ton of waiting time.
