I don’t particularly love Tikkas but man I like the CTR platform a lot and the X47 is a shooting mother. I think you really have a cool set up. Any pictures of it set up? I don’t have any experience with any x47’s but I sure like the ctr’s too. The stock works great for me. I have a real ctr 260 and a 223 I stuck in a ctr stock. I like both and I’m guessing the 2B will fall between the two. A 22 gt or creedmoor could be a pretty handy addition. My first CTR was in 6.5 CM. It came out of the box a shooting masterpiece. I didn’t matter what I fed it. I thought I’d love this boringly accurate rifle more, if I flipped out the CTR stock with a custom KUIU painted stock from Grayboe. I didn’t gain anything, other than a cool pattern, if you like KUIU. This time around, rechambering my 6.5 CTR to 47 Lap, Shaen, who did the work, said the Tikka stocks on the CTR are solid furniture that I couldn’t wrap one around a tree if I tried. 🦫 I replaced alot of the plain old T3X stocks with McM's. Not because they weren't good, solid stocks, but for some reason they fit me like schidt. The CTR is very comfortable for me to get behind.. I'd easily do as you have done to put a Creed in the safe. My only ‘gripe’ with the CTR stock is fit. For whatever reason, the LOP on them feels a smidge long for me when I quickly throw the rifle up to my shoulder. Not a big deal, but for me it’s noticeable. 🦫 Curiosity Killed the Cat & The Prairie Dog “Molon Labe”

Might be able to get a barrel quick. Last edited by beretzs; 08/24/22. Semper Fi

bsa1917hunter Campfire 'Bwana B Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 48,093 Likes: 6 Battle Born	Originally Posted by Beaver10 Thanks! 🦫 Yep. I'll bet it shoots great too. I've heard Shaen does some good work. You guys are right about the CTR stock. While not a Mcmillan, an absolutely great stock for what it is. Mine needed glass bedding work and a new stainless recoil lug after 300 rounds downrange, but that was a very easy fix. Something that not everyone may need, but if you like consistency in your groups, it sure doesn't hurt.. The rifle I offered to Scotty is a good shooter, but I prefer my first CTR. I think I'm biased toward the first one. The second one doesn't do too bad though: Eventually I'll run across just the right .223 rem CTR and buy it. In that time if Tikka comes out with a 22 creedmoor or fast twist 22-250 in a CTR, I'd be on board with that for sure. What I've seen with the little .22 cal bullets has really surprised me at 400-600 yards. I can see where you guys are probably having a blast with your .223 rem CTR's. If this can be done with an AR: .........I'd expect better from a CTR... Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well.
