Question for you guys who have done it. I am looking at getting a Tikka and putting it in a McMillan Sako Classic stock. Are you guys bedding them or just bolting them in and torquing them in the pillars? Ideally I know bedding would be best but with the pillars don't know if it's necessary.

Also, I'm probably going to get an other 300 Win Mag. I know most guys are trying to make them as light as possible and I understand that. I don't want it heavy because I do a lot of hiking when hunting but I don't want a 6 lb 300 mag either. I haven't decided on the T3 or T3 light because of this yet. How much do the factory synthetic stocks and wood stocks weigh? When I replace it with the McMillan I want to have a rough idea of what my final weight would be. I will likely get another in 7mm-08 eventually and make that one as light as possible.

Thanks in advance,
