what did you use to make the pocket?I have a Neal Waltz sizing die too. From my testing it didn't help accuracy on CCI SV. Neal recommends using the die on Wolf ammo. A few of the CCIs I tested:

No time for it right now, as I have too many other rimfire projects, but I want to test the efficiency of hollow-points made from a Aguila 22 Interceptor which are 40 grain and rated at 1,470 FPS. It deformed the copper wash, but that shoun't have any negative effect.

Ordered Boyd’s at one stock for my wife’s t1x in 22lr. Got it on Saturday. Here is the story.
1 the mistake! I narrowed my friend’s t3 lite in 308 to make sure the mounting holes and channel dimensions are the same. All match and ordered the stock for t3 lite in short action. Well, there are 2 side blocks in the stock for the 223 model. The mag block will not fit. Lesson learned. Order the t3 regular model!!!
2 took me 2 hours to file and shave the 2 blocks enough to fit the action in. Then I try to screw the bottom metal/plastic in. Screwed in the rear screw. Guess what, the front will not catch. Now I am in near panic mode. Took off the trigger guard and remove the barrel and action. Turned out the recoil lug fit so well, it has to fit in from front side so the lug will fit into the action. Screw down the front screw then the back. It fit!
3 then I tried to put the mag into the rifle before I properly torqued it down. Crap, the mag will not lock. Then I torquet it to 30 in lb. finally, it works. All functional and checked.
4 the good- looks good. Feels heavy and solid. Now barrel is all free floating. I picked the t3 lite barrel because I guessed the channel will fit the t1x barrel better with less space. I am glad I guessed right.
5 I am happy to have all the cheek and length of pull adjustments. The original t1x lop is a little to long for my wife. Now it can be adjust down for her.
6 the ugly - no where I can mount pic rail under the front section. I would like to have under rail for my atlas bipod. Now I have to settle with my old Harris bipod.
7 the plastic grip is does not fit too well. I use hare dryer to heat up the grips and bend it to fit better.
Conclusion-I like the look. Is it worth the $226 I paid for the whole thing? Yes. IMHO, it is a $200 stock for a $450 rifle. Don’t ask too much with the price you pay. Order the regular t3 version!
I will post some pictures and targets once I test it again to see if the group gets better or stay the same in about 2 weeks when I have time.
Yes and I agree. Just thought and hope pic rail option would be nice...I have a few adapters that I picked up off a popular auction site that adapt a sling lug to a pic rail. You can also just use wood screws or drill and tap to attach a standard pic rail to the stock. I have used both methods and have never had a problem.
Has anyone upgraded their trigger spring. I’ve seen yodave makes one for the T1X but also seen Elay has one for the t3. Is the trigger spring the same for the T3 as it is for the T1X? I emailed Elay and they weren’t sure if it would work.
Has anyone tried putting one in a tac a1 chassis? Friend might be selling the chassis and if he does I might pick it up.

Look on page 10 or 11. Or search this thread for @skinnj1 , he is who posted a photo and what went into making it fit. It’s not a drop in assembly, I believe he had to machine the top rail to make it sit flush and modify the stock some too.Has anyone tried putting one in a tac a1 chassis?

Thank you

Have to call. Free shipping over $100Link? The price I see is $468.
Looks good, can you please take a pic of the inside backbone and trigger guard? Id love to see how its all attached with room for the mag well.
Watch the bolt stop as you pull the bolt back and forward... that might be the dragging youre experiencing? Otherwise a good clean and oil might improve it. It's not common for tikka/sako to leave any rough machining but it's possible. Theres a few cross pins in the bolt too which need to be sitting flush.My T1x showed up earlier this week.
Everything seems great except the bolt.
The bolt is smooth and fits well with no binding or play. However, there is noticeable bolt drag and it feels like more resistance than my t3x. The resistance feels like it is dragging on the bottom (across the trigger?) Although I see no signs of wear. I have wiped down the bolt and action and removed the thick oil it ships with. I haven't given it a proper cleaning (that will be this weekend) and I expect that will help a bit. I expect it is more than that.
Any feedback? suggestions?
Maybe this has been addressed, I didn't find it in search.
Thanks
