Thinking of doing a tikka build. Questions

It makes no sense IMO. You could buy a Alamo Precision custom Maverick package on a Defiance action with a real match grade custom barrel, and put all your own touches on it for less money and time than you will spend trying to make a quality rifle out of a budget based factory Tikka.

I like the looks and weight of the AG stocks, but they don't show Tikka inletting? Is that something they'll do custom if you contact them?

You have to go through a rifle builder. I ordered through Oregon Mountain Rifles.

It all depends on what your looking to build and how good of a deal you can get on components. Gunsmith cost is a consideration as well. I actually like the Tikka action, bottom “metal” and magazine. The weight is darn close to a custom ultralight action. It’s all about how it shoots when it’s done. My budget built custom Tikka rifles shoot just as good as any custom action rifle and I can put one together with a proof barrel for $2k. YMMV

To each their own but for $2500, you get a Defiance action, custom barrel, custom trigger, carbon stock, with my choice in colors, fluting, cartridge, barrel length. For $500 more perhaps, it’s a no brainer.

Where are you getting that rifle built for 2,500? Can you get me a phone number by chance?

$2500 is a little low, but it’s close https://aprifles.com/products/apr-maverick

They must’ve just recently raised the price a cpl hundred. It was $2500 not long ago. Still, a fantastic deal!

Heck yeah that's a very good deal. Not bad at all
