[QUOTE="SnipingFinn, post: 1167828, member: 94811"] Hello, I'm building a Tikka T3 based long range hunting rifle and thought I would ask help from this forum to couple of specific questions. Main components of the rifle include: ◦Caliber 300wm ◦Tikka T3 action ◦Manners EHTA or EH5A stock. CDI bottom metal ◦Bartlein Bull Sporter or Light Palma barrel, 24" ◦Muzzle break (and later on possibly suppressor) ◦Nightforce ATACR 5-25x56 The questions I have in mind: ◦Does anyone have experience on if pillars are needed with Tikka T3 action and Manners Elite 100% carbon shell stock? Manners does not provide/install pilars for Tikka T3 models and I'm wondering if I should get them installed when bedding is done. ◦Any views on barrel contour selection (Bull S vs. Light P)? As mentioned , I'm looking at 24" length due to hunting focus. Seems that both of these contours would hit roughly same weight, Light Palma maybe a bit lighter... ◦I'm thinking to order bedding from Bartlein. Does anyone have experience on using them for bedding work? That's about it - any advices would be helpful. Thanks in advance!! Ps. I'm not looking at changing caliber to something else than 300WM:) [/QUOTE]
