replacing the factory butt pad with a limbsaver. But I can't tell what type of screws the tikka uses phillips, torx, allen, etc. Too deep can't see it with a flashlight. Anyone know? Thanks for the help.

Make sure and double check this, but I believe I used a 11/2 x 10 stainless steel screw. The limbsaver screw has to be just a little longer than the screw that comes with the stock butt pad.

or you could go with a flip-flop pad, forget the screws and save 4 ounces, keeping your lite light ...

I took off the old butt pad and pushed the old screw up and out of the butt pad to look at. It came out sort of hard, but I just pushed the pointy end down on a piece of wood then pulled/screwed it out.

I put a Libsaver on a T3 a few months ago. Seems I stuck a Philips down the hole and it was the right choice. Pretty sure of it.
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

my Sako 75 is a #2 Phillips. Don't see why they would go away from that on the Tikka and the same size limbsaver that fits it fits the Tikka. so... #2 Phillips is my recommendation.

Why use Phillips when a Robertson works so much better?  O, wait! You can only get Robertsons in Canada.

asked handwerk on this forum because I couldn't figure it out with a flash light either Anyway I also put some dish soap on the driver just to slide it in easy, (also a suggestion) and worked the driver until I felt it lock in as a phillips will do before I started torking. Steve

OHHHHHHHH!!! When I read over the instructions, it said to wet down the screwdriver. Put a big WTH look on my face. Now I understand  . But the jobs already been done.
