    Has anyone found that switching to one of these from a standard Tikka plastic stock impacts the groupings they get from handloads? I am keen on getting a more rigid stock that is a bit more streamlined, but cannot be bothered doing even more testing at the range. My current handload for 7mm mag is very quick and accurate so don't want to mess it up.

    That's a risk you take I guess, I'd be suprised if grouping changed enough to be significant if you zero with enough rounds to be statistically significant. More than likely poi will change.
    Cost of tweaking your load if needed probably small inconvenience compared to the stock. Having a nice e comfortable stock is a big pro in my books

    I've changed stocks on a few rifles, if it shot well before, highly likely it won't shoot worse in a new good quality stock....that's my experience anyway
