I’ll get it rolling tomorrow for you. Shoot me an email and we’ll go from there. We hadn’t set anything up with the importer yet. darrik  whittakerguns.com Email sent. Please let me know any additional info you may need. Thanks a lot!! Hope you keep us posted on how it worked to bring the gun across the border. They have some nice LH options and special runs at Whittakers. Will do, Sir. Absolutely. Darrik, Eric and the young lady (I'm horrible and don't remember her name) I spoke to today when I phoned in my info and deposit have been an absolute pleasure to deal with. I wish Whittaker's was my local shop. We are 'enjoying' a major snow storm here, so I'll probably have extra time on my hands tomorrow and and will set up an account with IRunGuns.
I've seen more well-shot game lost with TSXs than any other premium bullet.

Hard to pass on this.
Any of you guys replace a stock on a T3x? I have 2 (300 win mag and 22-250) and have been curious about this. Light stock, yes, but looking for more customization.
I will be ordering, regardless.

Anyone who has handled one of the T3X stocks know if the LOP is adjustable? Or if left handed youth stock is available from Tikka? I'm lefty ignorant. Thanks....

Not adjustable unless adding a spacer (maybe). I see lots of after market stock options for the T3 but not the T3x, still trying to work that one out. Shoots great with current stock, just not customizable.

Shoots great with current stock, just not customizable. T3 stocks work on a T3X. T3x stocks work on a T3. The action, inletting, bottom plastic were not changed for the "x". These are tempting but I won't be adding 6.5 Creedmor to my stable. I already have a couple of .260's and see no reason to duplicate what they already do while needing to gear up for reloading another cartridge. I could likely make use of another two sixty though. As for rings, I'm currently using DNZ's and am happy with that choice.

I will be ordering, regardless. Yes, I put a Boyd's on my T3x 300 win mag. I appreciate the weight that it added. I intend to checker or stipple it but haven't gotten around to it yet. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/uFM1SwH.jpg) Pic also shows the DNZ.

Wow, very nice!!
Thanks for sharing. Is that the T3 lite stock? I heard there were issues with fit, but maybe not!

It's the Boyds T3 stock part #7GA114S451ZZ. I did have a problem originally but that is because Boyd's messed up the inletting. The front action screw holes were offset top to bottom. It was not a T3 vs T3x issue. It was just an issue. They made it right and sent me a new stock which fit perfectly. The bottom metal is aftermarket but the factory stuff fits the same.
My .260 Hunter (T3 not T3x) is currently in a T3X stock. Fit is perfect.

Anybody have weight on these? Looking for a lightweight 6.5. Internet search brought up 6 lbs 4 oz, but I'm looking for some real world weights.
Shortactionsmoker-Can you weigh one of the right handed ones you have?

Is the link dead now? Are they all sold? All I get is a white page. Pretty pumped for these rifles! Bunch of Alpha brass and 147ELDs on the shelf. Scope is sitting in its rings waiting. Just need to order a rail.  Appreciate you making this happen, Darrik!
