Might be easier to just order one. The last McMillan Tikka stock I ordered direct from McMillan only took 3 months. It was for one of my wife's rifles and she loves it. Shorter LOP and in the colors she picked.

SW, Appreciate the input. Glad to hear the wait was not so long. I was dreading sending an order off into the ether and then (impatiently) waiting...
Dropped a nickel this morning. 2-3 months lead time. While I am waiting, what are folks doing for a recoil lug? Using factory? After market? Which one? Epoxy in place?
The stock for my wife's rifle was a true drop in fit. The only issue was there was a small "post" on the floor plate, think it was behind the trigger opening. I just used a Dremel to grind it off. I guess I could of drilled a small hole in the stock to allow the post to enter but grinding it off was easier.
I’ve just stayed with the factory lug….your McMillan will come with one epoxied into the stock so theoretically it should be a drop-in fit.
I own 3 Tikkas with McMillans. Two of the stocks were perfect drop-ins with full/proper contact of the factory recoil lug. The 3rd stock came with the recoil lug bedded too deep and the lug had to be dremeled out and re-bedded a little more shallow to achieve full contact.🥴
It’s a crap shoot with McMillan these days. It might be perfect/it might need a little work….best of luck to you.

Thanks for the info on the recoil lug. I'll save my pennies until it gets here...
The last two McMillans I ordered for Tikka T3 both bolted right up and were shooting half inch to 3/4 inch groups. These were both in last 18 months. I like your odds for quick success.
