[QUOTE="Topshot, post: 1103031, member: 13285"] Not all Tikka's shoot. The recoil lug system is prone to fail as you can see with yours. When you tighten the action screws it forces the lug downwards and it then has less contact with the action as the stock flexes under recoil. Magnum T3's are prone to this more due to the heavier recoil. Not much you can do with the factory stock once the lug has started to wander in its slot. With a laminate or timber stock, you can raise the lug a bit to get full contact with its recess. Glue the lug into this position. This then gives room under the action for bedding compound. Bed the action right up to and beyond the recoil lug, but keep the barrel free floating. This should help. [/QUOTE]
