[QUOTE="K9TXS, post: 2827320, member: 85208"] I purchased a Tikka T3X in .223 about 2 months ago. Before purchasing, I was already looking at replacement stocks and other small replacement items. I didn't like the black plastic stock at all. It reminded me of the old AR-15 black stocks in the late 60's. However, after getting my Tikka 223, the only thing I changed was the trigger spring. The black plastic stock is so much better than I anticipated it would be. A lot of shooters will add resin to the forearm, partially filling the hollow area. I was surprised how ridge the stock is. Others will add pillars and bed the stock. I thought I would shoot it first before I considered either one of these options. I don't care for the black at all so the paint is currently drying as I type this up. After loading up some rounds and a range trip, I'm sold on the Tikka. My second range trip, all my rounds were loaded long and I used my arbor press to set my COAL. I'm shooting groups between .5 to .625. This is good enough for me. So, I only changed the trigger spring & painted the stock. Good to go. I'm looking at a .243 Tikka now. I would recommend you purchase one. [/QUOTE]
