A 'Heads Up' for the good of the forum and Tikka owners. I might be wrong here, but from what I and my stock guy have just experienced, I would like to share.
After having my Manners T4 bedded for my Tikka T3x, we wanted to install one of the greatest innovations that I think has come down the pike, the ARCA Swiss dovetail rail from Area 419. While fitting it up, we noticed that the action screws, after the bedding job, were not long enough. Manners and Area 419 are equipped for the Remington clones, but not for the Metric threaded Tikka's.
Not a big deal I suppose, but it was another delay that could be easily avoided by mutual communications between the Stock manufacturer, and the accessories manufacturers when dealing with the Tikka owners. It would be nice if when ordering stocks and accessories, that the Tikka threaded option would be available and included. I have the utmost respect and admiration for both companies and for their constant innovations for our sports. ( Im just a coyote blaster for now ). Cheers!
