Wildcat composites tikka stock

Did yall get them to sand and fill the stock or did you do it?

I found the forearm to be the slickest with only a flat black coat on it, which was a problem when hunting coastal blacktail up here in BC. If you hunt areas with wetter climate, definitely make sure the stock is textured

When I finished my wildcat, I used that, make it stone spray? I believe it was called, as my first layer. It made a world if difference to the grip. I did find the paint wears first on those hight spots, but is easy to touch up.

I’m wonder if the folks from the US can use someone like bighorn sales (in Canada) to do the shipping/importing for you from Canada to the states? Might be worth looking into. He does importing from the states into Canada on firearm parts.

does anyone know if it's possible to just bring a wildcat stock across the border into the US if it's bought/paid for? My wife's parents have a place in Ontario and we plan to visit in 2022, so if I could buy one and have it shipped there, I could just bring it back with me. That'd be great

Mine was one of his first, and it has a couple seasons on it now. Probably 6-7 hunts and a fair amount of range work in that time. All good.

I would recommend a pebble type finish or similar. The raw gel coat is pretty slick and needs something to give it grip.

I will say that it's really only inexpensive if you have the know-how to finish it yourself. If you need to pay a gunsmith for bedding and paint, it's going to be as expensive as anything. It might still be the lightest though.

Im in canada and looking to put my tikka 300 WSM in a wildcat stock.. im pretty handy but a little concerned on the painting.. any tips for a lasting finish?
