    Looks cool.

    I've been toying with making something similar in .223 as my main work rifle is shot out and long overdue for replacement. Only thing I don't like about the tikka is that you can't top load bullets inot the mag and the flush fitting mags don't hold enough (bullets)...but maybe some time on the milling machine could fix this issue by installing a rem700 BDL type mag box?

    Q: Whats it weigh as you have it set up? Does the B&C stock add weight, or reduce weight?

    The BC stocks are heavier than original but its actually a good thing as it tightens the whole gun up it certainly made this gun a heap more accurate and reduced felt recoil some as well.

    I honestly was thinking the same thing last night, the only short fall would be no top loading due to the tiny tikka ejection port.
    I was thinking more along the lines of a flush fitting double stack mag,
    due mainly to the fact that you cant load from the top, and that 3 shots isnt as ideal as 5

    the other idea I had was just to use it as it is. I rarely use more than the second shot, so 1 + 3 is perfectly adequate.
    a top feed and double stack with a floor plate would right up my alley tho, for a few hundred more you can have a sako A7 which is basically as light with the top load option, but still the magizine feed
