Hello hide.
I need 1 lucky Tikka T3 right hand owner who's willing to test the A1-3 stock - i want to test if the shipment is possible out the Russia.
terms are simple - i'll send the stock (if post will allow it). you'll test it. if you'll like it - you'll pay for it. if you don't - you send it back.
Your name (hide name) will appear in this topic.
And you'll write a range report here with all good and bad - i need to know how to improve it.
pm me if you're interested.
Sincerely,
Valentin
Why would you put a "bull" barrel....whatever that is, I'm assuming you mean a big contour/heavy barrel...on a rifle in a lightweight CF stock? That sounds really stupid and goes against the whole purpose of the stock.

I would be willing to test the Rem 700....just have a full package build coming back from Chad Dixon and Long Rifles Inc. it is 308 with a Bartlein 5R and will have a TBAC 30-BA suppressor fitted. Can do some side by side comparisons with my XLR Chasis. l also have 700 set up with a 16" fluted barrel also set up for the TBAC 30-BA. That, and the carbon fiber stock, would be a great combo for a very lightweight suppressed hunting/pack combo.
Sooo...email the details and lets see if we can work out a bit of a test.

when can we expect a price?, understanding that your waiting approval to become a vendor on this site.
will be see any stocks shipped to Australia? and how is the adjustable-tactical stock coming along? those CAD drawings looked the part.
cheers mate
Disagree.
First area of carbon application will be to make lightweight hunting rifle.
In case of bull barrel:
Modern optics manufacturers has forgotten long ago how to make lighweight but sturdy optics: it's common to find glass which weights 1-1.2kg nowadays. And scope with 800 grams of weight considered to be "light"...
Idea is not to make "featherweight" bull barrel rifle but rather to give you the possibility to make as bulletproof rifle+glass combo as possible still within reasonable weight limit.
Save weight on stock - spend on optics/accesories/barrel length or diameter.
But even in this case - it's just an option. You're in control to use it or not.
idea is to cook it together with steel liners inside the carbon foreend to have a base to connect night vision rail to stock direclty - i.e. use only upper part of Badger EFR
Honestly we could cook it together with triggerguard and magazine hole - but it won't be stock anymore but rather the strange variation of chassis.
Hi All,
Just got the Rem 700 stock from VTB--she is a beauty and workmanship is first class. The CF is very well laid out, finish nice and just a very few, very small pinhead pock marks if you look very close. The bedded area looks like DEVCON and well fit to a Rem 700. There is ample clerance in the recoil lug area for either a stock or thicker lug and a quick bedding of that area to your specific lug. One item to note is with my action in the stock, there is clearance in front of AND behind the lug, so bedding the lug area is on the list.
A slight interference with the pin for the safety (Rem trigger) ...going to do a little relief to get it to fit. I have not pulled one of my actions with a Timney to test fit, but VTB says the wide trigger may need a little clearance work in the trigger slot. More to come...will try to get to the range this weekend or the next.
Oh...the DBM seems like a nice set up and well fitted to the stock; my AI and Alpha mags fit and released fine.

Our stock has met it's rifle (blaser r93):
I've got my Tikka ready to drop in the stock......watching for the shipment daily!
Hello SH.
Firstly I must thank you for your support. I must say that without your feedback we'd never ever thought someone in US & Australia will be interested in our carbon fiber stocks.
Secondly i should describe the concept behind our stocks and why we do them in the way we do them.
1. Stock should have weight as low as possible
2. Stock should be as strong as usial composite stock
3. Stock should be as much plug-and-play solution as possible meaning
3a. Triggerguard for AICS magazine is always included (in case of Rem700 SA/LA, Tikka T3)
3b. Pillars and 3 sling studs are always included
3c. It should fit any barrel contour up to action diameter
4. Stock should be comfortable to shoot
5. Stock should look cool.
Actions we run right now are Remington 700 SA, Remington 700 LA, Tikka T3 (we make factory inlet and our DBM for AICS SA mags fits fine there)
We do inletting for Blaser R93 and R8 but it will require you to swap internals from your resin Professional Blaser stock to carbon yourself Or we can buy new Blaser stock (imagine the price) and do the swap ourselves
Regarding pricing.
1. Stocks with A1-3 foreend you see at the pictures is $1100 with AICS triggerguard included - already in production
2. Tactical stocks (including adjustable cheekpiece) you see as 3D models screenshots will be $1250 with AICS triggerguard included - ETA is August
3. If you want blank (action and barrel channel formed, stock filled with fill, pillars installed, recoil pad installed, no inlet for DBM, no DBM) - deduct $300 from the price above.
Shipping vary but around $90 courier airmail to US & Australia (package weights 3 lbs). We take Paypal.
I understand that for these amount of money you have a ton of alternatives in US.
But regardless this fact of life we are sure ours stock do what we've designed them for: Allow you to hit a target without fatique from unnecessary weight.
Sincerely,
Valentin
