^^^True statment^^^

I wish I could properly glass bed mine. They shoot great now. But properly done, glass bedding could only help. The problem for me is I have never done one. I'm afraid I will take a already great shooting rifle and screw it up on my first attempt. My thought, or excuse is, if it aint broke don't fix it. But I agree and wish all of mine were bedded. Maybe some day.

if you lived close to me i would help you fix and bed your rifle. where i live many many rifle guys have me bed their rifles and all were very happy. > and this Tikka i do now understand why Tikka did this metal plate piece was a cheap way to help accuracy that took very little time for a gun manufacture to install. i will probably never shoot more than 40-50 rounds thru this Tikka rifle its just a back-up hunting rifle, i don`t enjoy recoil much anymore . so once its glass bedded , that metal piece is also bedded in and the snow melts from my rifle range i will let every one know how well this rifle does shoot.
