[QUOTE="Of001, post: 2410461, member: 116075"] I bought one last year for my tikka t3x 308. Pillars were off by about 2cm. They told me to cut it in half and they sent me another. The bolt notch was about 3/4 of they way too forward. Cut in half and sent a new one. Bolt release is too far back, mag well was off angle and the button for the cheek raiser fell out of both sides and no QD bits. I called and gave them **** so yet another. No better. The pillars, bolt handle and release were right. Everything else was kind of close. I spent an ungodly amount of time with a file and Dremel to make it fit. Had to het shims as the pillars and mag well were set too lot. Fits and works I guess but living in Canada it was 11 months of f&ckery, 100 in shims and shipping plus customs hit me for another $200. Aside from crap fitment, I find it very square. Not comfortable to hold for hunting. Fin for the range. I ended up taking TONS of material off all the edges, probably a 2cm/45 degree cut then rounded it. The sharpness of the edges were as if it were a blank. All in I spent over 600 usd, probably 20h fitting and more than a year to make it usable. in a fit of (drunken) rage after I cut my hand (3 in field stitches, I did fitment with one set of grips and didn't test the ones I took) on the pistol grip insert that never fit right (nor the fore ends, and they said it was fine and wouldn't send me another and I couldn't recess it any further) tossed it in the fire in the 2nd day of an elk hunt. Boyd's... Never again. I almost started to hate my tikka over the experience. [/QUOTE]
