Does anyone ever do a custom build on a Tikka? It seems like a guy could get a lot for $2000 build.
I've built quite a few, including my 3 F-TR competition rifles.
I believe I can be credited with the customizing of the action, whereas the front of the receiver if faced off square, and my custom designed recoil lug is installed between the receiver and barrel.
Here's one of them. I've been at it for awhile.

I've left the recoil lugs alone, save using a steel one instead of the supplied aluminum.
What is the advantage of the '700' style recoil lug?
My way of thinking is that the '700' style has to have 4 perfectly flat surfaces to mate with, the stock Tikka the action and barrel need to be square.
Not to difficult to get sub 1/2 moa performance out of a stock Tikka action and a good bedding job.
