I know Youkonal does but his are works of art. I'm just talking about a regular hunting rifle. Got one coming next week in a 338Federal. I also ordered the B&C Medalist for it and is the reason I'm asking. Thanks guys, powdr

No - there's no need, it's not a Remington - It shoots great just as it comes from the factory

No. Shoots lights out from the factory - why potentially run a good thing?
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

I would shoot it in the factory stock first, then slap it in the Medalist and see where you are.

I did when I first got it but it pissed my wife off, so now my T3 Lite Stainless .308 spends the night in the safe.

T3 Lite bedded recoil lug area, before I shot it. I do not know why. Was a pain to get bedding to stick/lock in place. Shoots good but probably would have anyway.

Who would have thought it!!! A factory rifle, priced competitively that shoots great right out of the box with no mods required.
Remington, Ruger, Winchester etc please take note.

I have factory rifles that shoot great right out of the box that don't start with T.
There are many reasons to bed a rifle that don't revolve around accuracy, though many are too stupid to know.

I love my Tikka. It shoots great out of the box and smooth action also. They guarantee their accuracy. A reasonably priced rifle with great accuracy and it is lite and carries well. What more could you want? I tell my friends that it is one of the better deals in rifles today but they don't seem to speak Tikka here in redneck country Georgia. LOL. I just bought a new stainless Tikka T3 for 580.00 just because nobody buys them around here in Middle Georgia.

Just as a follow up to one of the comments above. I have fully bedded all of my 700s and 70s, including my Pre-64 06 I had. I even skim bedded my HS Presion stocks on a HS SPR and 700 LTR.
The Tikka factory stock/recoil lug setup does look a little odd and flimsy at first glance, but the WAY sub MOA groups from the 3 I have had made me a believer in it. All of mine have not been finicky about the bullet weights or types.
Being somewhat of a gun plumber I always figure I can improve my guns, so I got a B&C Medalist Tikka stock and skim bedded it to my gun. The results were no better than the factory stock setup, but I added weight and cost to my gun. Also the B&C stock had a thicker feel to it.
Are T3s perfect? No as I am not a detachable magazine fan, but I live with it as they shoot lights out as is and have as good a trigger one could ask for right out of the box.
My 2 cents. Merry X-mas all and be safe.
