How are you guys liking the B&C stocks for the Tikkas? I think Tikka builds stuff to a very precise tolerance therefore these are drop in fits. The most they need is a very very light skim bed.

My stock required I open the channel a bit, and grind down the tang area of the aluminum as the whole skeleton was tipped down in the front. Not a big deal, I bedded it afterwards and the gun shoots lights out.
I have a new mcmillan sitting here for it, and I cannot bring myself to swap the stocks since the tikka is shooting so well in the BC.

The Tikka I have in a B&C dropped right in with no fitting whatsoever. I skim bedded it for giggles. ![[Linked Image]](http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r295/BeNBadRacing/TikkaT3270002_zpsba98dcf6.jpg)

I've been holding onto it in hopes of find a 260 to put in it. No luck, but I cannot afford one right now anyway, ha.

Did any of you notice a nice reduction in recoil with the B and C? It made a huge difference over the A-bolt stock it replaced.

I also have a new Rem 700 SPS 260 8 twist I need to run some rounds through... ![[Linked Image]](http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r295/BeNBadRacing/DSCN0534_zpsqyhntckt.jpg)

1DN If I could do that to my Bud's bought Hunter 260 I would keep the Hunter stock for sure...otherwise it'll get a new stick of some sort whenever the CC is cleaned up again. Picked up a Minox ZA5 HD 2-10x50 30mm for it and its about time for the rings to show up...was planning on using Talley's or Warne's, which one is better than the other one to use on a do all truck gun?? Any problems cerakoting either one??
Both of the B&C pics above are the color's that I've been looking at for a "drop in" since wheelbarrows and roundpoint shovels are high tech for me.

I actually used the plastic stock off the stainless gun on the Hunter. Sanded it down and rattle-canned it, only later dipped it to see how that works. And the B&C went on the stainless (obviously).
I have no complaints whatsoever with the Talleys. I only have one set of Warnes, and I like them, but the Talleys are what I have on most of my rifles. No issues Cerekoting.

Tally lows are about the same height as the Warne TMs.
