Not that this is what you're talking about but just in case anyone has interest - I can *highly* recommend the T3X UPR. I got a T3X UPR .308 after Christmas and it's been *superb*. Amazing. People had a lot of concerns with the stock - as far as I am concerned, I got a nearly $1,200 stock for basically free. Tikka blatantly copied a super premium Irish design (I spoke to the Irish stock company, amazing folks!) and told their carbon fiber Sako stock factory that they wanted to have their own high-end carbon fiber-reinforced fiberglass tactical/competitional style stock and I have to say I love it.
I had a Manners T5A DBM on an R700 - finest stock I've ever used - but that was when I had disposable money to waste. The the UPR, I got an awesome rifle, and what I personally believe to be an amazing stock, included for very little upcharge. I myself am not into chassis-style stocks- while I recognize that they're the most popular these days and extremely popular here. I am just saying, other people have other likes and wants etc. and for me, the $1,400 for a Tikka T3X UPR gives you an out-of-the-box amazing rifle that for people like me who just can't drop $3500 on customizing a $700 rifle and then have to add $1,000 for a scope etc. Perfect out of box solution.
I have my fair share of rimfires but if I had the money sitting around and the T1X UPR came out, I'd snap one up con mucho gusto.
