Here is my T3 in a B&C. Rifle is Cerekoted. 260 Rem. Puts 125 NPTs in .5" on bad days. I've shot more than one 3-shot single hole groups. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/medium/57836.jpg) What scope is on the rifle? VX2 with an M1 turret.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I think this may be what your are looking for...This is my wife's rifle. Tikka T3x Superlite in 270 win, bedded in a Olive Marble Sako Classic that I snagged off of Stocky's Stocks. Talley Lows, and a 3-9x40 VX-2. Puts 140 accubonds into 1/2" groups with a heavy dose of H-4831. The only "negative" I will say is that as much as I love the sako classic (I also have one on my Weatherby 375) the forearm grip is a bit thick. I always thought it was fine.... until I started shooting a Hi Tech Specialty Stock which as a much nicer forearm contour. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/ueYGb6m.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/FgmnKIr.jpg)

I want to put a McMillian on my T3, but the darn things shoots so good as is plus there really isn’t the weight savings that you would normally get swapping a factory stock as the T3 stock is pretty darn light as issued. I can’t force myself to spend the money. The price of a new Edge stock would buy me another gun.

Did you use the factory recoil lug or does Mcmillan supply a steel lug? Thanks in advance

The one in the picture that I got from stockys was cut very well with no major gaps or anything like that - very good fit. I take all my rifles to my local smith for bedding. He bedded the lug area and the tang.

DId your gunsmith bed over the lug so it is sandwiched between lug and bottom of reciever or did he remove the lug attach it to the receiver with clear epoxy and then bed the lug into the stock?

He beds over the lug and leaves it in the stock....Seems to work pretty darn good, this rifle will shoot better than I am capable.

Anyone know the actual weight difference between a factory synthetic stock and the edge?

I’ve been lurking around here for a while. This seemed as good a time as any for my first post. T3 in 6.5x55 in a Manners EHT, clear with OD webbing. https://ibb.co/dayD7mWell, that didn’t work. Trying to figure out how to attach a picture, not just a link. Growley, That is a fine looking rifle! Welcome to the forum!
