I recently bought a Tikka T3X in .30-06 and didn’t like the feel of the factory stock. I bought a Bell and Carlson stock and attempted to swap out the factory stock for it. It fit fine but I found that when I attempted to re-attach the bottom metal the Tikka factory screws were too short and wouldn’t catch the threads. Obviously no issues on screw length with the factory stock. I called B&C and after some discussion they simply said that this sometimes happens on rare occasions and that I should call Tikka, presumably to see if they can give me longer screws. Has anybody run into this issue? I tried the search function and didn’t see anything on point. Apologies if this has already been discussed.
