Just picked up another T-3 lite on here. .300 win mag. Looking into putting an after market stock on it. Doing research and have a few possibilities. Looking for some more input from the guys on here.

There's a few options but nothing inexpesive: Helmick Arms (laminate stocks), Wild Dog Custom (carbon fiber stocks- ultralite hunter and tactical), Manners (carbon fiber tactical stocks). I have 2 very accurate T3s that I upgraded with Wild Dog Stocks...true drop in fit

Here's a pic of the Helmick Arms laminate (not mine)

How much did the T3's end up weighing with Wild Dog stocks?


JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H

My T3 Lite factory with Burris 3x9 Fullfield and 5 rounds of 06 weighs 7lb 2oz. That is a nice looking laminate though. What was the ballpark cost

The laminate isn't mine, stock photo. I was thinking of going that route at one time. I think they run $300, www.helmickarms.com

I was told by a Bell and Carlson rep at SHOT show last January they would be working a stock for the T3 next due to the request they received. It they do a drop in fit with their Medalist type aluminum bedding block I think it will be a big hit. Timing might be about right to start e-mailing them with with order request for that. I hope they come through.

The McMillian Sako pattern stocks are available now and the Classic feels pretty right for a light Tikka.

Does McMillan have those inletted for the T3 to be purchased as a drop in stock or do you have to send them your barreled action?

Mcmillan and Manners both inlet for the T3.

What is everyone doing regarding the recoil lug? Are the aftermarket stocks cut with a slot to fit the lug into? That is big question on how BC would bring out a bedding block style of stock.

Wild dog stocks are a hand laid carbon fiber stock with a carbon fiber composite based bedding block and aluminum installed pillars. They are produced with a metal recoil lug which is also bedded in the stock.
Helmick Arms also produces their stock with a bedded recoil lug.
I've handled the factory T3 wood stock by sealing the barrel channel and inletting for the action and trigger guard with Permalyn sealer and bedding the recoil lug with Devcon steel Epoxy.
Manners does inlet their hunting stock for the T3 but you have to use the CDI detach mag system instead of the factory guard/mag.

Bell and Carlson is within days of taking orders for the Tikka T3 Sporter Stock.

Features a full length bedding block that rocks!
Drop in unit, free floating

This stock is very very similar to the Sako Tecomate.

B&C Part Number 1042

No seeing it on the site, what style stock will it be like? (I could not find a reference for the mentioned tecomate)

I like B&C stocks, but they are not light. They are 40oz or so, unless you get a Ti model that is only for Remingtons.

So it must be some sort of carbelite configuration? No way you are going to get a Medalist that light.
