My Tikka sports this, though it's discontinued. It's heavy af, so not sure how much interest a carbon guy would have in it.

Thanks, easy. What about removing the barrel ?

If you are doing it one time I would buy the barrel and hire a gunsmith to put it on, otherwise you will need tools. Barrel Vise, Action Wrench, good torque wrench, "shh some cheater bar". Spent my adolescence setting up tool bars so I have a good feel for how to put heavy force without damaging equipment. I you also have this good, if not go to youtube and see how to make a relief cut. I have never done this. You will also need go-no-go for the specific cartridge. Like I said it is probably less expensive to hire gunsmith.

Gotcha. So its just like doing a high end action aka defiance, prefit barrel and prefit stock. I can do that. Thanks for taking the time to explain.

Hardest part will be getting the factory barrel off.

Just dropped mine into a grayboe Phoenix, very nice stock.

Built in level on grip, flush cups, m-lock rails on forend, and adjustable comb. It's not carbon but compares weight wise to other brands such as McMillan.

Next step is to replace current rings with NF ultralights, add arca plate and eventually a barrel.

I gotta get me a stock with an adjustable cheek riser. I love my Tikka but I had to tape a piece of a foam noodle on the top to get line of sight right.

McMillan here in my Tikka.

Nice looking Tikkas! My T3 with factory stock looks like the poor cousin- but still a good shooter.

I drive past Montana Tactical/ Tikka Precision’s machine shop at 4 Corners in BozeAngeles every 2 weeks doing our shopping at Costco, Home Depot, Walmart. Let me know if I can help. The owner Jason is a really good man.

Montana Tactical was selling cheek risers on Black Friday sale.

I’d rather just get an entire stock, but thanks anyway.
