Yes my thinking as well. The T3X stocks don't have that hollow sound and weigh around 29 ounces. McMillan Edge is around 22 ounces. I might get creative with some rattle can options in the near future.

Ok, if I got this thread right the T3 stock was as light as an Edge. The T3x is seven ounces heavier, albeit sounds better.

An Edge costs as much as a whole dam Tikka.


If one had a T3X, he could lose a half pound by finding an older T3 stock, for under a $100.



So, after a decade of people bitcching about these plastic stocks, people will start seeking them out.
What a country.


Next thing you know, people will start collecting those fugly Ruger skeleton stocked rifles.

Nope, ya missed something somewhere. T3/T3x factory stocks have never been as light as the edge fill McMillans. But the weight DIFFERENCE isn't huge ... 4-6 oz or so.

Was thinking of this, but it was about a Manners. Oops!

People drop those POS R700s in McMillians all the time, a Tikka action instead would be a nice step up.

The problem with the Gamescout is that it is exactly opposite of what it should be from the grip back. LR stocks should have a negative drop- i.e. The butt should angle down to the action to help with straight line recoil.

I for one appreciate all the eye candy Mcmillian Stocks. Some very nice sticks on this thread. I’m going to keep shooting mine as is thru deer season and probably get one ordered in time for next year. I bloodied my new T3x today so all is good.

Nice rifles fellas. I kinda like the Tikka stocks as a shooting stock but they aren’t very appealing. They do grow on you after shooting them a little though.

Well, if the stock fits and the rifle shoots, there isn't much argument left to make. Still found at < $600, the T3x is a great value right out of the box. Consider it a tool, nothing more nothing less.

That looks awesome Marty - that camo looks much better in your pictures versus the one on the website.

With Hunters Edge it is 6 lb 3 oz.
