Tikka fit vs Browning
I am looking at buying a Tikka T3X however when shouldering the stores guns they seem to be 1/2-1 inch short of sitting on my shoulder properly. I also tried a Browning X bolt which shouldered up much better and compared the two rifles side by side and it appeared that the X-bolt's butt end of the stock was longer by about 1/2 inch.
As I was hoping to purchase a T3X I am wondering if there is a fit fix for the stocks lack of length? Shim? Replacement stock ?....Thanks... |

I went with a limb saver pad as the tikkas are bad for kicking. |
I did the same. Ended up walking out with the x-bolt.
No regrets. |
It may be a model thing for fit. I have a T3x CTR that has a perfect lop for me. I'm 6'4" and like a longish stock.
As for recoil, it's a .308 with a heavy barrel. However it recoils about the same as my Ruger gsr. I do plan on picking up a hunter model at some point this winter in 7mm rem mag, so we'll see about that. That CTR, btw, shoots a 3/4 moa fouling group. Colin |
thanks

I love guys that walk into the gun shop with visions of sugar plumbs in there head in September with there t shirts on, shoulder rifles ooogle and giggle and buy something new and shiny then comes November and they put on 4 layers of clothing and they can’t get the sight picture correct in there scope because there LOP is to long and there scope is to forward set up for them
In the store while they wore they’re coolest mossy oak T shirt!! |
I like both rifles but the x bolt fit me better,t3x are a lighter rifle and carry nicer but like others have said a limbsaver is a must on them.
|
Browning's for me all the way.

T3. Some shops sell just the barrelled action complete. You can put whatever stock or chassis you want.
