Had one of these come in for a paint job, never handled one before. The line down the middle that bisects the stock is different than anything I’ve seen before. Is this typical of Tikka / Sako composite stocks? Is it strong, stable enough?

Other than the curious construction it’s pretty stiff and light for an adjustable stock. 29oz as it sits….
The cheek piece is all plastic construction and I don’t believe it would fare well if subjected to much of an impact.

not bad looking, unlike some I have seen.
Which models come with this stock?


I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects

I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

That line down the middle is what caught my attention. Looks kind of weird. I'd be glass bedding the action at a minimum, but that's just me. I don't really like the looks of it, but to each their own.

The stock comes on Tikkas Ultimate Precision Rifle. Not wild about the style but it is comfortable to sit behind.

I too would bed it if it were mine but I have seen this rifle shoot and it was easily sub 1/2 MOA at 100yds with Hornady match ammo. Kinda hard to argue that bedding would improve anything.
