I'm not sure why folks think they need to change the "cheap" Tikka stocks. Hell, they virtually always shoot less than an inch right out of the box; what is a Bell and Carlson going to do for your that the Tikka isn't?
I bought my first Tikka this year and I have been more pleased with the purchase than any other rifle I have purchased in years. It has an outstanding trigger and I really like the stock and the smoothness of the bolt. There is no way I would ever consider paying an extra 450 to buy an A7 that won't shoot any better or function any smoother than the Tikka.
I tell you what, you buy a stainless Tikka In 7mag and if you don't like it I'll buy it from you for 90 percent of what you paid for it.
