Has anyone found or modified a bolt stop for a tikka 223 that's shorter than the stock one? I'm thinking it'd be sweet to make the throw much shorter and only go a bit past the back of the round. I'm ok with a little gap before it engages the round, but the tikka's have like 3/4"

Are you sure you don’t have a long action stop in there? I can’t tell from your pic bc it’s blurry. The bolt stops right at the edge of the ejection port on all of the short actions we have. It goes a little further on the LA.
I'll have to double check. Just barely got the gun from scheels new. It seems longer than yours. I'll try to get a better picture. I may have an old bolt stop from a t3 i had a long time ago that i may try
 
Mine definitely goes quite a ways past the ejection port. Need to take the stop out and look at it but i am starting to think tikka either changed something up or i somehow wound up with a long action stop. Pictures above
 
Thanks for the advice everyone, I thought something was off! I'm going to call tikka today and see what they have to say. Can't imagine that's the norm now?? Maybe they'll send me a short.
