Tikka t3x stock recommendation

[Timplant]

Are you ordering from Pure Precision or seeing them somewhere else? Would they beet too light for a 20' CTR?

Directly from them. My opinion is no. I built a 20” 6.5 carbon gun and it’s perfect on there!

I almost pulled the trigger on one, but they want $100 to ship to Alaska. That pretty much negates the sale price. Looks like I’ll just need to stick with modifying the factory stock the best I can.

dang sorry to hear.

I have grown to prefer the Peak 44 Blacktooth for a hunting rifle. Not super keen on the vert grip styles out there after using them. Yes they are great off the bipod or tripod and have an application for sure, but hunting mostly in thick timber I carry my rifle in my hands and prefer the not-quite conventional sporter style angle grip of the Blacktooth.

So it just depends on how/where you hunt and really is subjective.

I will be posting Manners EH1T with mini-chassis for sale soon.

I ordered another Pure Precision. I ordered a tikka last week and wasn’t going to buy a stock but seeing the are on sale for damn near half price I had too…. I have them on three other guns and LOVE them with the victor cheek riser.

I just snagged a stock from them as well for a my first build. Curious did you do any bedding to the stock?? Any suggestions I'll be putting prefit Proof barrel in along with other parts got a bit carried away ... lol

I haven’t bedded one yet, they have good pillars and a good recoil lug. So I hav t dog d it necessary! Just clean the action screws and torque to spec.

I thought the recoil lug issue was fixed with the T3x or am I read that the stocks come with pillars and recoil lug bedded is the lug no good?

Very happy with stockys vg on 3 of my tikkas. I put a Mathews fabrication check riser on it.

Would it happen to be left handed?

Did you end up posting that stock?

They upgraded the recoil lug to stainless steel rather than aluminum in the t3x rifles.

No. Been traveling. It’s sitting here in my bedroom

You still planning on getting rid of it?

So no need to upgrade lug then?

 

[Kauaihunter]

The factory T3x really needs nothing if you want a reliable, consistent rifle for hunting purposes. It’s “accurate” but it’s not a bench rifle and I doubt it was ever intended to be. All the modifications are wants.

This comes from my Tikka’s going through multiple configurations and experiencing this first hand.

Correct.
