    Looks like a great set up, and will be great to hunt with.

    @Larskramer that’s a nice looking rifle. The long rail is an interesting addition, I’ll have to look it up on the MTN web page. What sort of tripod do you plan to use?
    I’m eyeing up a Leofoto tripod, that appears to be identical to a Leupold, but half the price.

    I had two absolutely insane weeks at work and no weekend in between but then:
    The DHL delivery guy made my day this Friday!
    My new stock, scope and mount for the second T3x arrived.
    And a real weekend ahead of me...
    Perfect timing!

    So I put it all together that very evening and went shooting Saturday.
    Rounds touching @100m with 178grs ELD-X and 150grs FOX bullets right away.
    And man do I dig the ergos, quality and appearance of the stock!

    That looks pretty slick! Can you elaborate on the stock make and model as well as details of the scope?

    Sure... Happy to!

    The stock is the so called "Outlaw" version from "German Gun Stocks".
    A small company in Saxony that makes very nice laminated stocks.
    Quite light for that kind of material and with an integral aluminum bedding block.
    Fit and finish is very nice.

    The scope is the Schmidt and Bender "META" 3-18x42.
    Fairly new and my first try with S&B for quite some time.
    Super slick scope.
    All metal.
    Built like a tank!
    Used the Spuhr hunting rings to mount it.

    To me I have a perfect pair of Tikkas now...

    1. The "Green Tikka" as my primary hunting rig.

    Tikka T3x Lite - .308 WIN - 20"
    A-Tec H2
    Zeiss Victory HT 2.5-10x50 with ERA rings
    Bell & Carlson "Medalist" with custom bedding.

    2. The "Grey Tikka" as backup and primary shooting range device.

    Tikka T3x Lite - .308 WIN - 20"
    A-Tec H2
    S&B META 3-18x42 with Spuhr rings
    GGS Outlaw stock

    Both with standard trigger set to the minimum weight.
    Both with the same custom bolt handle.
    Both with standard floorplate.
    Both with a bipod option.
    Both deliver 0.5 MOA groups. By now this is the average for 21 different 3-shot-groups. Worst was 0.9 MOA. Best was 0.2 MOA. Just shows again: Statistics rule. Not the one good group...

    I think I have what I really wanted and needed by now...
    Just love those Tikkas.

    Cheers
    Ben

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I reckon it looks awkward ,but it feels very balanced and movable,… the weight is not that noticeable
