[QUOTE="loaders_loft, post: 340889, member: 10540"] here's the thing about the tikka. Aftermarket parts are hard to find. Why? Because there's not much they need. Smooth Adjustable Trigger 2-4 Lbs? Check. Removable magazine system? Check. Sako style large extractor? Check. Buttery smooth action? Check. I've got a T3 .243 that shoots as good as anything I own. What have I done to it? Nothing but put a scope and sling on it. For a calling rifle, in and out of the truck, its about perfect. As far as the stock, its a basic synthetic stock, not unlike all major rifle manufacturers offer. If you want something nicer, get the laminate or walnut stock. If you want a tactical stock, get a manners. As far as the scope rings, there is a set included. If you get a magnum, buy a set of dednutz or other rings. Lets face it folks, this is a $479 rifle that has the most popular options we want, and shoots great. What else is there to say?
