    Bedding Tikka in Manners EH1A?

    Have a new 30 Nosler semi-custom build on Tikka T3x in a Manners EH1-A — came without pillars. Will it benefit from pillar and glass bedding?

    I don’t think you are leaving too much on the table with 3.600 in a Tikka and you’ll be glad to have the extra room the MT DBM will give you with the 195s

    Thx. I’m very pleased with how it turned out. No immediate plans for short/med action DBM. Bolt knob is from PTG and put it on a handle I had turned to match the contour.

    Iota Kremlin stocks and Horizon Firearms

    Derrick at Horizon is a good guy, reliable, and professional. He did some barrel and bolt fluting for me a few years back.

    Tikka lite 300 wsm in CTR bottom metal

    Width wise the double stack CTR mags will be fine. Only limitation will be mag length for OAL. If you want to run the heavies and maximize OAL you will need to convert to long action magazines and bolt stop. We gotten this question a lot lately. Here are some additional options... Solution...

    Couldn’t agree more. Fit and feed from the TRG magazines is vastly superior to AI. In fact that is what led us to design our long action DBM that uses the TRG42 magazine — essentially a long action CTR Bottom Metal system.
