[QUOTE="Montana'eer, post: 1847315, member: 113417"] Man I feel your pain. I had a Tikka T3 laminated SS in 7mm that gave me fits like that. I was at the range working loads AGAIN when I simply groaned and moaned after getting a couple touching, then moving. The guy next to me started a conversation and come to find out he works at Capital Sports in Helena (Montana) and they’ve got competent staff and smiths. to make a long story short, and I remember this clearly, that their experience with Tikka stocks is that their laminate stocks almost always need some work to tune, and their plastic stocks almost never. He said the manufacturing process with the plastic stock are very tight producing fairly consistent results and need little futzing, wheras the laminated ones don’t seem to share that aspect. I said “oh nice....”. Several months go by and I go into the store, the guy I met at the range saw me and said “did you get that Tikka sorted out?” I said “YUP!! I worked and worked on it LO and behold it’s all fixed... I turned it into a Browning X-Bolt!” I had little investment into so I just sold it and tried another. Happy Camper. I think his original words may ring true- you may have futzed the inherent upside of the plastic stock.. [/QUOTE]
