Thread: Tikka T3

Hi all.
I've got a Tikka T3 s/s
One thing i've noticed is that the butt of the stock is quite noisy when tapped against something i.e. a branch, it gives a loud hollow sound
Then i had the idea of filling up the cavity in the butt with builders foam, i might dampen the sounds without adding too much to the weight
Anyone done this?

Rr

haven't done it - but if you do, allow plenty of time to cure properly - that stuff is as stinky as if you're planning a fix before your next hunt!

temp solution might be to deaden with a rifle butt ammo holder?

Or tape from the Vet,sticks to itself

The plastic Rem 700 stock has a bit of foam type packing folded up and shoved in, works surprisingly well.

use closed-cell foam that won't hold moisture, not the 'sponge' stuff which is porous . . . . . .

bring yer problems to us - we'll tell yer what to do . . . . . .

Yip or a tree to swing it against. Cheers

Im allways on the look out for a good excuse to buy one of those B&C stocks.

yeah mate I got all keen after reading that tread about them. Sounds like the go.
If I did get a new stock what is the go with my zero?
Will this be affected at all or is it simply a case of putting a couple through and a minor tweak?
I have had the Tikka stock off a couple of time to clean etc and that had no affect.

Your Poi will change, but It wont be too far off, just do a check at the range before you go out hunting next

I personally have no issue with my stock, it fits me perfectly.

Yeah mate im the same, think im just trying to spend money half the time!
Hasnt failed me yet bar a bit of noise when tapped but this will be sorted tonight!
