[QUOTE="Ckleeves, post: 2291278, member: 83259"] It’s always puzzled me when guys say they can’t afford a custom action, then proceed to dump more into a rem 700 then a custom cost? Just because they do it 100 bucks at a time I guess it doesn’t hurt as bad? The great thing also is once all that money has been spent on the 700 you still just have a 700 when it comes to resale value. Tikka’s are tough to beat as long as the cartridge you chose fits in them. Some just flat out don’t work. Perfect action for any of the short mags. The recoil lug is a non-issue, the T3x comes with a steel lug and if your putting it in a aftermarket stock you just bed the lug into it and it functions no different then any other lug. Even in the factory Tikka stock they still outshoot most 700’s so it’s not something to even worry about. The shoulder of the barrel is in direct contact with the face of the action much like a custom action with a integrated lug so the design may actually be better then a tombstone style lug. [/QUOTE]
