[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 1963068, member: 109994"] So I went to the store yesterday and looked at a few Tikka 7mm08s. I was thinking of going with the compact just so I wouldn't have to cut the butt stock on a full size model but I checked the bolt lug contact (sharpied the bolt lugs and cycles it a few times) and the contact as less than desirable. I did the same thing with the superlite and it was dang near perfect. I also looked at the regular lite stainless model. The evenness of free-float on each side of the barrel was about the same for the superlite and regular lite so I went with the superlite due to it being $50 cheaper. I figure I'll just cutt the butt stock and add some weight to the internals of the stock to give it a bit more weight for the kids until they gain some weight. Then when they get bigger and need a longer stock, I'll put it into my .30-06 takeoff stock that I haven't modified. For those that are curious about a brand new Tikka bore, here are some pictures. This teslong borescope is awesome. I'm glad to be able to see a new bore and see what it looks like through the life of the barrel. There's a few of the chamber (which is kinda rough), the leade (also a bit rough), the lands, the crown, and portions of the bore. I'm surprised at how glass like the finish on the bore is. The only marks through the bore are the ones on the lands that are shown. I cleaned it, mounted the scope, and am excited to see how it does today! [/QUOTE]
