Lotsa reduced recoil 270 ammo around. All my reduced recoil .270 rounds say" .260 Rem " on the headstamp.... and fling 123s...

Nice! Manners? If so, which model?

Just a question on the Tikka thread. My 18 yr old son has a Tikka T3 light in .279 Win. I like the gun but kicks like a mule. Anyway, I hear of it not doing so good with heavy loads. Something deforms inside the gun. Any truth to this? Some people question the strength of the factory suppied aluminum recoil lug that is mounted in the stock. But it has not been an issue thus far in my .300 win. mag and I am sure it kicks more then a .270. P.s. a couple of firms offer steel replacements if it bothers you.

He might have a little headspace issue and need reconstructive surgery, but I'm with ya. Almost seems you can step down just about anything anymore. 270 is more a light 7mag if done right. But I'm almost out 108's and its onto 123 Scenarville again. I'm probably the only mug that wants a .277 150gr Scenar though...

Is there an issue with McMillan stocks and the bottom metal on the Tikkas?

I have a couple. One if I tighten front screw down real tight the mag sticks. I took that same stock and put on another tikka rifle and no problem. I suppose if you didn't want to bed the stock a washer between stock and bottom (plastic) you'd have no issues

Thanks for the responses. I've been considering a Tikka. If I buy, it will stay factory for a while, but a McMillan will probably be in it's future at some point if I like it....
One more question - What are the magazine constraints for long action standard cartridges?

I've owned several T3's over the years and played stock swap many a time (factory, B&C, McM) and I've seen this issue multiple times where the mag sticks after tightening one BA into a particular stock but same stock on another Tikka T3 rifle (same torque)fits the stock better with no problems.

I just had that same problem with the SL 7MM-08 I put in the Hunters Edge. When I tightened up the front screw the mag would get stuck. Had it bedded so now its fine.

Just ordered a T3 lite 30-06 and Manners EH-T stock to play with while my custom 30-06 is being built. Its possible the Tikka will be going with me to Newfoundland for Moose in October depending on when the custom is complete

Sounds like the McMillan inlet is still a little questionable. At least from a drop in stand point.

I also suspect that there is enough T3 action dimensional variance that not all stocks inletted for a T3 drop in fit will do so with every T3 barreld action. I've seen it too many times, where a stock fits one T3 BA perfectly but a different T3 BA has issues with the same stock.

It'd be interesting to see where the difference was/is since they all drop into the OEM stock.

True, but I've seen this issue with OEM stocks as well, particularly switching from polymer to wood stocks or even changing wood stocks. I've never taken measurements but don't really have any precision instruments to look at that sort of thing.
