Is anyone using one of Ken Henderson’s Carbon Tikka stocks ?
Im just trying to do some homework on them and information and reviews are a little hard to come by online .
On paper it seems to tick all the boxes , but just wondering what others think .
I have one of his early ones and I rate it above the McMillan Hunters Edge I also have and it was cheaper too
I have had a few of them on various rifles and still own two, one on my 27 nosler and the other on my Sako 85. They are light and finished very well, the one on my Sako 85 weighs bang on 500grms. There was a batch that a few guys got their knickers in a twist over as they had small pock marks in the finish but that seems to be sorted again now.
Both rifles are extremely accurate.

Inletting and bedding done by Ken on my 85 stock, very nicely done. The other one I have has an aluminium bedding block.

The V Block bedding and the higher comb height are what has caught my attention .
If they genuinely dont have to be professionally bedded , then that takes a cost and hassle out of the equation , and having to add comb raisers etc to get a correct cheek position has aleays bugged me on alot of my rifles even when using low rings .
Yip I had one very well finished the only thing I didn't like but he has now changed was the barrel channel is not tapered.
but now I think he gives you the option to to contour of the barrel.

This is my 27 Nosler at 100yds... big magnum cartridge. Its on a aluminium bedding block, which obviously works well, shoots ok..Quote:

I'm super happy with my stock. And his new ones are even better finished.
Mine on my 28 Nosler (on a custom rem 700 type action) has the alloy bedding block and it sure seems to be a good stable platform that shoots very well too.
I was looking at a t3 one today. I wouldnt hesitate buying one.
Got one of his originals on my Tikka, great stock.

I think I’ll give them a call tomorrow and see what happens
Fucking epic looking rifle man(even if it is the wrong 7mm). The cerakote sets it off. What colour is it?Quote:

Similar price to a McMillan , but in 8 days instead of 8 months and so much better finished.

What’s the damage for one of these ? The finish looks superb
I would love to have one like Friwi on his 20 BR - also on a 20
For a Tikka T3 Standard Hunter stock its $1150 + postageQuote:

This is appreciated but as a matter of policy I don't do bookface. Does anyone have a cell phone no for him that they can PM me?Quote:

whats the weight on your mine was very light considering it never needed bedding.
Can’t remember exactly. Somewhere around 700g for the tactical version with a 14.25 LOP.
That's pretty damn light for a vertical fore grip A3/A5 style tactical stock, the McMillan would weigh more and require bedding on top. One of my Hi Tec stocks was bang on 500gm, and the other two with the alloy bedding blocks were about 560 which is pretty bloody light as far as carbon stocks go, and you also have a fully enclosed barrel channel unlike Mcmillan, Southfort etc which are all just an open shell and still weigh moreQuote:

I had mine bedded from the off as it’s a full custom build and I wanted it to be as accurate as possible from the start. I normally bed my own rifles, but Kiwi Greg did this one for me and did a very nice job.
Shoots .5 MOA 5 shot groups and recoil is contained very well with the stock geometry and a T2 brake.
A mate has a Southfort and that’s very nice too. It’s a sporter so is lighter than mine and the unfinished barrel channel really wouldn’t be an issue for me. It would be easy to seal it with epoxy or similar if it really bothered anyone.

I think you need to review your twist rate - bullet has clearly tumbled ……….. :thumbsup:Quote:
