Very nice Kurt. Is the optic a fixed 6X or 10X?

What do you like about the B&C stock over the factory stock? I've thought the factory stock to be pretty decent and don't have much experience with the B&C stocks.

Lighter , better built, better recoil pad and I am just a Looney! Plus it fits me and looks better.
Impressive that it fits different Tikkas which means Tikkas are built to the same tolerance, try that with a Ruger 77 they vary wildly.
Just got the B&C catalog they have a new Ruger Hawkeye/ MK2 stock where they mention the recoil lug may have to be spot bedded due to Rugers broad range of tolerances.
Full-length aluminum bedding block from front swivel to the grip which adds width in forearm and grip are which may be too big for some. But far better than the old
B&C stocks.
Plus I have 5 Tikka LH rifles now I can tell them apart, hate it when I go bear hunting and grab the 223 and the wrong ammo!

Kurt,
Does the stock require any bedding tweaks or is it a good drop in fit?
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Randy the B&C stocks fit perfect once you figure out how to install them, have to tilt barrel to get them to install. Try to set them in straight and they wont fit. And remove
small plastic index protrusion from floor plate. On 2 they have fit 100% with no mods. Kurt out!

They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Very Nice collection.
For the tikka T1x rifle, you can get a Limbsaver recoil pad part # 10011 and it is easy to change out, direct replacement. It will add some LOP and also get rid of the plastic original pad. There's other benefits , if you are one to lean the rifle against say a wall and with a cement floor, that plastic original pad can be slippery and cause rifle to fall/kick out, where the limbsaver is rubbery and wont kick out so easly when rifle is on a vertical angle.
I recently picked up one of those t1x LH too, but before I scope it I'm thinking about squirting the metal in possibly cerakote.
already had one in RH and its really a well made/engineered rimfire.
