You’ve been asked twice why you want to swap stocks.
Be advised that a different stock is unlikely to affect performance.
If you’re making a change to make a change I get it, just don’t think it will shoot better.
I speak from experience. My brother bought a B&C Medalist for me for Christmas for a T3 7mm-08. It’s actually a little heavier and thicker in the wrist. No change in accuracy.

Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.

Those are so bulky and heavy For some I suppose. For actually shooting and killing scheit, they work well. A 9.5lb rifle (ready to hunt) is not what I would consider "heavy" Better ergos, recoil control, aics mags. Yes please. Honestly the factory stock with the vertical grip module is good. I didn't mind the factory stock either, the vertical grip is great. I picked up a used ctr stock for 50 bucks on ebay, and added the flat forearm. This is it on a t1x. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/pHZOT1A.jpg)

Hopefully Tikka is taking notes.. I also agree with what Pharm said earlier. He knows his Tikka's. However, they are not one size fits all I guess. Luckily I like the ergos of the factory stock. They are lightweight and just work well. Some guys have no need to "upgrade" the factory stock. Speaking of factory stocks, the newer ones like the roughtech with texturing feel pretty good to me. The T3x is an upgrade over the T3 stock as well. To each their own.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Don't mean to hijack the thread but a quick question about these Tikka stocks. Of the stocks mentioned, which ones don't have a palm swell? Specifically the different models of McMillan and the Bell and Carlson. I know some people like them but I have always hated palm swells. To make things worse, I have a Dupuytren's contracture on my right hand (basically a big lump of scar tissue) that makes palm swells even more uncomfortable.
Thanks in advance,
Mark
