No, but I would assume the same as the right hand version

That's awesome news. They claim 21 ounces, and the pricing is reasonable. Should be a great alternative to the Wildcats.
I've seen more well-shot game lost with TSXs than any other premium bullet.

My same thought as well. I believe my wildcat came in at 19.5 ounces once I finished it but that was with a flip flop recoil pad. And it’s impossible to get the wildcat stick imported right now. Another nice thing is the Stockys can be ordered with proof barrel inlet as well as the standard barrel channel.

Thanks for the heads up.
Would you happen to know if they also plan to offer the VG model in LH?

Those look nice! I might splurge for one of those when they come out.

My understanding was both the VG tikka and the standard stock would be available in left hand this week.
I have no special connection, I had just emailed them looking for a blemished right hand stock since I was gonna have to convert to left hand. They told me to hold off a couple days for the lefty versions to come out of the molds.

Compared to the black Tupperware stock stocks, how much weight savings are we talking about? And for how much money?
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Reputable outfit to deal with?

Just received an email stating that the option to purchase left hand Carbon models for Tikka is now live on Stocky's web site.

https://www.stockysstocks.com/tikka-vg.htmlPut a LH Carbon stock in my cart $488 plus $71.38 to ship Via UPS to Alaska USPS would be around $25 think I have called before and they insist on using UPS.

The factory stock was just under 30 ozs. I haven't weighed the Wildcat replacement, but it's got to be light, since the whole rig now weighs 5 pd 5 oz. Stockys has their CF stock on for $488. I'd order one eventually, but... UPS.

Kurt, USPS started adding on a $15 surcharge if the package is longer than 30 inches. Their rates have gone sky high. Randy

I was going to add a McMillan to my .270 Tikka. Will put that plan on hold until I read some feedback from you guys.

I like the 3 B&C LH Tikka stocks I bought.
