I tried the screw on vertical grip and fore end. Hunting with gloves didn’t make the grade. Fore end has holes where mud and snow accumulates. Took that stuff off. Glad others like em though because I will sell them. I think the factory stocks are good stocks, in fact I bought an ember stock just for my last build. The accuracy on that rifle was incredible. I have a 30mm tube on that scope with low rings and could achieve good cheek weld without a riser. However on another Tikka action, I have a pic rail and a scope with a 34mm tube. With the factory stock I needed some sort of cheek riser which I don’t care to add to a hunting stock. I have replaced all of the factory stocks with a high comb stock on all of my rifles now.
