I'm looking to replace one of my Tikka factory stocks with a Mcmillan......what stock styles will work?
I'm wanting a Sako Classic,I have on a couple of Rugers and Weatherby Vanguards.
Anyone running a Sako Classic on a Tikka ?

Check Stocky's. They show the Sako classic and hunter as being available for the T3.

Ryan (shoottowin) has confirmed here previously that the Sako Classic is available for the T3, so you are good to go.
It should be a nice upgrade.

I have a classic arriving tomorrow for a T3. I'll give some feedback when I nest the action in and see how it goes together. I believe there are a few configurations that McMillan inlets for the T3...classic and hunter being two of them as aboltfan noted. Some tactical configurations are also available if I'm not mistaken.

They come with a Tikka style lug installed, maybe even glued in. On this rifle, I had a new lug made and TIG welded to the action slot. Then the full action bedded into the stock.

mistem,
Sorry about that, the stock did arrive but I got pulled in another direction and haven't had a chance to take some pics. I'll snap some pics and get them posted this evening.

I know this is subjective, but between the Sako Hunter and the Classic I would go Hunter. I have both styles but they are inletted for Howa's.

Deflave,
I hoping to shoot the classic this weekend but initial handling has me itching to try the sako hunter configuration for the T3. I shot a hunter configured gun awhile back and thought maybe a classic would fit me a little better....now having handled both I'm leaning towards the hunter.

I have no logical explanation as to why the Hunter fits me so well. I typically don't like palm swells, I don't like MC style ass ends, the thing is uglier than I am. But for whatever reason, it feels great in my hands. (The stock you sick bastards)

Sir, that looks excellent. I really like the the slender lines of the Sako Classic pattern.
I like the Hunter pattern as well. It is perfection in the human interface department, but I keep coming back to a sleek, light stock.

I'd be interested in your classic ...if you want to pedal it
