T3X Stock Upgrade

[T3X]

Swapped out the synthetic stock today for a Boyds walnut, I'm pleased with the results. I haven't shot it yet to see if grouping changed at all.

The stock just showed up today. So I'll shoot it to see how it groups, to see if bedding is needed.

If I owned a blued Tikka, I would probably have to buy one of those.

Looks great.

Yeah, I originally thought they only did laminate stocks and tried to find a Forest take-off stock for decent price. I'm glad I looked into them again. Pick your options and delivered in less than two weeks.

Resurrecting this thread. Would love to hear how the rifle has performed with this stock. Did you get the opportunity to hunt with it some this fall? Also did you end up bedding it? I’m interested in putting one of these on a blued Tikka.

It definitely was a simple plug n play swap, with no clearance issues. Put some rounds through it, with no shift in point of impact. Ended the rifle season taking a decent 10pt with broken tines with this set-up. To me the overall feel of the gun is more natural now. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Boyds, quality fit/finish with a quick turnaround.

No, I did not bed it. Be sure to use the correct torque(listed in the owners manual) for the action screws depending on plastic or metal bottom. I retained the stock plastic.

Looks great, I was contemplating the same stock. Thank you for sharing.

Is that the standard basic wood stock or the "X" or "XX" ?

I ordered my laminate with the aluminum pillars. It was plug and play. It shoots.
