    Both apply upward pressure to the barrel. This means that shooting off a hard surface or a Bipod is going to affect the harmonics. If the Tikka stock is free floated the fore end needs to be stabilised so that it wont twist at the recoil lug. The other rifles can be free floated without issue
    The Tikka stock multiplies felt recoil contrary to Newtons laws
    Why do they shoot so well then.
    Ask how I know
