WTS Tikka UPR 308 barreled action

[Schmo]

Looking at a Tikka UPR in 308 at a LGS. I’m only interested in it for the UPR stock. Anyone interested in a UPR barreled action? $1,000 OBO to your FFL.

Did lol.

Damn, friend has the 6.5CM. I’ve shot that stock.

Felt easy to get behind the day I shot it. IIRC 20 shots off a bench.

Yeah, just something I kinda wanted to play with. I’ve not been blown away by my Rokstok, but need to do some more shooting before making a firm judgement.

I gave mine 200 rounds before I sold it, probably still not enough to be fair to it.

J&A had them in stock recently but they're only available on backorder now.

I really like the grip and trigger reach.

Yeah, but they want $600 for a stock with no bottom metal. That’s steep to me for a factory stock

I bought the one that was recently for sale on here. They are great stocks. Was happy to find it.

The question I find relevant about the JA situation is how many stocks of similar weight, feature set and quality can be had for $600. I've not ran too many I like even equally well, and those that I do have been quite a bit heavier. Being LH, I have to do some work filling and sanding the RH cut out along with cutting and shaping the LH side, but even with the extra hassel, I find it well worth it to get ergonomics I really love and sub 30 ounce weight.

I will be buying more of them. Unless, of course someone finally offers carbon fiber stocks and forends for KRG Bravos.
