This story reminds me of my mate who was going out with a woman for around six months.
He was over in her place one day when she said to him ,
Do you not think it's time you got rid of those guns and settled down.
He stood up and said, I think it's time i was out of here.
He walked out the door and never went back.
If the rifle is shooting well in the sporter stock I dont think a chassis will make it shoot any better.
I have a tikka ctr and I changed the stock for a krg bravo chassis. The rifle shot well in the factory stock and accuracy didn't change when I put it in the bravo.
I love the bravo chassis though and the rifle is a lot more comfortable to use.
The tikka sporter stock is a lovely stock and the shape looks very similar to my sako trg which I like as well.
Some chassis do have slots to add on rails, bipods etc so if you plan on doing this it might be worth it, otherwise I wouldn't bother.
Any chance you could borrow a set of rings of someone to try first.
That would give you an idea of what height you need.
A lot of the rails are different heights so it's hard to recommend something.
I never used the bifrost but I did use the berserk and laminated stocks but didn't like them. What mag system are you going to use ?
My choice would be a krg bravo chassis and one of the mdt 6mm br magazines.
That's good.
My mate is using one of the new Mdt 6mmbr mags in his Remmy action 6mmbr rifle and it feeds well so they should be ok for the 20br as well
The cheekpiece is rock solid. I use mine with a bipod and a simple filled rear bag so I don't know how it would track with a proper front and rear rest.
I have two of them. One on a Remington 700 varmint and another on my tikka t3x ctr. I really like them. Very comfortable stock to shoot with and they use aics mags which feed flawlessly.
I also think 337 is to little.
I use a forster full length die with the neck honed to .335 and then I use a .307 mandrel. It works very well and the mandrel is working very little. A .336 bushing will probably be ok but it might be safer getting a .335 .
I am going to rebarrel one of my rifles soon and I was thinking of using a sassen cut rifled barrel.
Just wondering if anyone is using one or if anyone has any info on them.
I got mine a few days ago. It's better than my Lyman one that cost me £285 a few months ago. My mate bought one a few weeks ago but it wasn't working properly so he emailed them and they sent him out a new one straight away.
It should drop in. I don't think there is any difference in the size of the recoil lugs, it's just that the T3 lug is made of alluminum and the T3x is made of steel.
