Might could get them to hog out a little extra wood and shave another 4-8oz off... especially if its only another $75-$100. If they went: 20-22" Stainless Sporter Throated and Mag Lengthed to handle 75-80s Boyd's Prairie Hunter(ish) Stock Mini-Pic rail like the Predator And they did it for under $500, I'd order one today You better pray to the God of Skinny Punks that this wind doesn't pick up......

The Varmint Tikkler I had was better. And doesn't the CTR have a similar taco as the Varmint? A bud took 50-cents worth of plastic, heated, bent, and glued to his T3. Quick and easy cheek taco. Looks really good from the side. Only pic I have is below. Jason I concur, the Tikka comb is a bit low as well... but generally speaking the stock is superior to the 'merican in both ergos and construction. The CTR comes with a Taco... but it's in a fixed position and held down by a single screw through the center. I couldn't leave well enough alone... so had a couple wine coolers and pulled it. I put a 3/4" long Round-Head wood screw into the top of the stock half way between the fastener screw and the front of the taco. This allowed me to use the second screw as a height adjustment stop under the front of the cheek piece. The back was allowed to bottom out where it normally does, as there's a pretty steep slope to the comb from the factory. I set the stop where the cheek weld was good, and screwed it back down with the stock fastener screw. Worked great.... until I needed to take the bolt out. A few more spritzers and some Dremel work, and I had the problem licked. Second pic with the bolt released from the action, and free to be removed.

As far as I'm concerned with Ruger, it's like an episode of "All Things Scottish": If it's not the 77 action, it's CRAP!!!! I'm a firm believer in the theory of " If it bleeds, I can kill it".

I'm guilty of getting this offtrack so my apologies to SAS, but good info on the CTR stock Dog. And I agree about the T3 stock being of higher quality in every way compared to the RAR. I think a cheap taco would help the RAR comb height, but the stock stock still feels cheap. I actually prefer the milkjug ergos to the Prairie Hunter, but the plywood can be whittled to suit.

tex_n_cal Campfire Ranger Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 22,274 Back in Texas, for good!	To the OP's question, yes I'd be interested in a 1 in 8" .22-250. Especially if it has a long enough magazine and throat to let you take advantage of heavier bullets. But since we're asking, how about Ruger chambering the .22-250 AI or one of the .22-243 variants, with that same twist and generous OAL's? And I'd like a Ruger #1V so chambered, too, please. "...the designer of the .270 Ingwe cartridge!..."

I can't see Ruger ever making a run of rifles chambered for a wildcat cartridge since there would be too much potential liability for a cartridge not factory loaded to SAAMI pressure specs.

I have two of the Heritage style laminated stocks on my 204 and 223 RAR-Ps.
