Tikka t3?

[Montanahunterjon]

Is talley lightweight a stock? I got the rifle, put leupold bases and rings on it, and a viper hs 4x16/44 scope on it. Got it sighted in with 6 shots. Still breaking in the barrel so I'm cleaning the rifle between each shot. Still don't know how it's gonna shoot yet since I only had an hour to shoot today. Looking at Boyd stocks, anyone ever buy one?

They are rings, but it sounds like you already have rings taken care of.

I've got a T3 Lite .300 and while I've heard mostly all good things about them, I couldn't get mine to shoot worth a crap. To be fair, I haven't had the time to spend a lot of time with it but have shot many different types of bullets out of it but have had no luck. I used the factory rings though and that could very well be the reason it shoots poorly. Once I get some new rings and possibly a different base, I'm hoping it'll shoot better.

For the guys that have one and it shoots well, did you use the factory rings?

I used the factory rings and have had no trouble.

I tried them and it didn't shoot well. I think I put Leupold rings and bases on it. It's a tack driver now.

I have two Wheatherby Vanguards in 30-06 and 300 win mag. Bought wood stocks for both of them from Boyd's. Fit perfect and both shoot moa. I bought the thumb hole stock for the 300 win mag. It gives great control for the mag kick. I had to install a slip on limbsaver pad because they only come with ½" stock pads. Beautiful stocks.

I've had 3 7mm-08's and the Tikka is the best of the lot.

I'm in the 1st stages of putting together a 338 Federal. Looked over the Boyd's, but then I found Richards Microfit. Great selection, from basic to bazzar.

On the larger calibers, you need aftermarket rings. Almost everyone that has bought one reports a problem with factory rings slipping on big bores.

It is a Bell & Carlson stock and the bolt has been fluted.

Have you noticed improved accuracy with the bell and Carlson stock?

As Tupperware stocks go the tikka is a good stock and can't really claim any accuracy gains for one the rifle shoots great with both. I just like the Kevlar stocks. I really like the B&C stock though.
