[QUOTE="Joaquin B, post: 335467, member: 20152"] I would like to get started on a long range hunting rifle project for 2010. This project involves taking my Tikka 595, in .260 Rem. with a 24 " barrel which I currenly use for HP Hunter Silhouette shooting, and fitting a 26" barrel in .260 Rem. Ackley Improved. The barrel would retain the origninal barrel's countour (0.650") at the muzzle if I keep the original stock, which is not too bad. Here are my questions, if anyone wants to weigh-in: 1.- If I keep the original stock and barrel countour, can the action/stock fit be improved by pillar bedding the action screws? 2.- If I decide to go with a 0.700" muzzle countour, are there any available fiberglass stocks that will take a Tikka 595 action? Will on of Holland's stocks fit? 3.- Does anyone make metal replacement trigger guard/magazine holders for Tikka rifles? Any and all info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, [/QUOTE]
