Question, is that lug part of the aluminum block, or can it be removed?

The lug cannot be removed. The aluminum block has the lug machined in place.
Fast is Fine but Accuracy is Final.

I just received my Bell & Carlson 1042 Tikka stock and they really hit a homer with this stock. The bolt up is perfect, this stock fits like a glove with perfect margins in the barrel channel. I am very pleased.
I have a 338 win mag and the overall weight with no extras and factory magazine in place with the new stock is 6 lbs 7 ounces. What did that cost...if you don't mind? Any photos...please.

I purchased mine through Shooters Discount Inc. for $223.00 plus like $12 shipping I think.
I will take some photos and post this evening.
Gunner75, great job!

I just picked up my second B&C stock that's going on my Tikka 6.5x55. This one is tan w/black web. I bought mine from a shop listed on Gunbroker for $230.00 shipped. My first one is olive w/black web that was put on my stainless 30-06. I really like how well they fit the actions and me. If I buy another Tikka I'll also buy another B&C stock.

How are you guys bedding around the lug? Masking off the front, or are you not bedding them? Thanks.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Can I ask what your Tikka weighs with the new B&C stock? Thanks

tedtf, 6lbs-8oz. with the new stock. I think B&C did a great job on these stocks.

Thanks very much. I assume that is without a scope. Correct?

Yes, that would be without scope. Mine (pic pg #9) weighs 7.5lbs with scope. It shoots tiny little groups consistently, same POI time after time. I just screwed the barreled action into the stock.....no bedding, perfect fit.

Wish they'd (Gunner) would come out with a T3 Varmint stock soon! I'd snatch one up fast.

I should have just bought a [bleep] T3...
