[QUOTE="GonzoK34, post: 1841922, member: 8915"] Experience: 74 years old, 5 years USMC, 3 Tours Combat Vietnam, 2 Years 3rd Marine Division Rifle Shooting Team. 100% Disabled Combat Veteran. Competitive DCM Match Shooter 35 years. Rifle builds well over 400. None of this makes me an expert, However back in 1966 Marines in Vietnam were rebuilding the Korean War sniper rifles because they were worn out. I was lucky to be one of those Marines. Wooden stocks would warp from the moisture, etc. Those rifles had heavy barrels, bases and bottom rings were welded to the actions. They worked. My observations with plastic stocks suggest that the majority are junk. But you can marinetex them and improve their accuracy. Tikkas are a unique firearm in that the V-Block design is a well thought out system that works exceptional well. I believe in my opinion that a shooter is better served as I suggested in my post that shoot what you have. Pillar ands stock bedding a stock is great and should be performed with wood or laminated stocks where significant improvements are beneficial. Thanks for your concern and no offense taken. As I stated it's my two cents worth. Sgt of Marines Retired SEMPER FIDELIS [/QUOTE]
