Ok members, been sniffing around for info on these items and many threads are close but way off....I have mucho .223 components and was leaning towards the Tikka (Lite JRTXE312) and the Bravo stock. This is not a PRS rifle, (I looked at build parts and that is not in the financial folder ) but a fun bolt gun that I can shoot on the cheap, keep kids off my beautiful crabgrass lawn, and even let others try it as a starting point. As a certified service rifle slut, many nuances of the bolt gun realm escape me so I'll try to lay it out. Will there be any conflict running AICS mags with that particular stock? I plan to use mag length 77's and the 80's would be single load as needed. Looks like a simple task to drop the action into the stock but wanted to ask if there are any other pitfalls to consider?
The other varmint Tikkas are threaded but not the model I am considering. I'm sure John at Area 419 could thread it but wasn't sure if that would be out of
the question for this model. Wanted to run a can...Well shit....maybe I'll just call over there.... total budget including glass (Tasco scope from 1983 anyone..? ) $1400 - $1500 tops.
As always, thanks for any help and direction. Good luck and good shooting!
Doug
