[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 1895781, member: 109994"] I have one and had another until recently. I would say keep the factory stock for now and see how it shoots. Torque the screws to between 35-45 in/lbs (factory specs is 45 in/lbs). Unless, you just want to go throwing a bunch of money at it. First few cheap things to replace that may make it shoot better would be the spring (I got mine from coretac solutions and it's at 1.5lb now), maybe a Sims recoil pad, and a new recoil lug if the previous owner chewed it up with pliers removing it from the stock. I would only buy a new stock if you hand-load. Free-floating the light Tikka barrels means your barrel will be far pickier on what ammo it will shoot well. If you want to buy a cheaper stock, I suggest Boyd's laminate stock. I bought a prairie Hunter for mine and I like it alot. But, it's not a drop in. Their inletting isn't 100%. So, you may have to do a little bit of work on it and it would definitely be best to bed the action into those stocks.... Which needs to be done a pretty specific way with tikkas to have it done correctly. [/QUOTE]
