Rifle stock replacement - Tikka T3x

[40Arpent]

Looking to replace the wood stock on my T3x with a composite stock. Either my google-fu is lacking, or Bell & Carlson seems to be my only "off-the-shelf" option. My only experience with B&C stocks is the fact that I have a Winchester M70 300WM that came from the factory with a B&C stock, but that rifle still sits in the box it came in (LOL). So, the questions: Any reason not to go with B&C for my Tikka? Any other suggestions for a synthetic stock?

ETA: I hate those Hogue overmolded stocks, so please don't recommend them.

I'd go with a McMillan...check with Rick on the 24 hr campfire forum. He's having a big sale on McMillans for Tikkas. No wait. Rick sells A LOT of McMillans. I think the sale thread is either on the "hunting rifles" or "custom rifles" thread, right at the top. There's also a thread on the custom rifles sub-forum called "Tricked Out Tikkas" that has LOTS of photos with aftermarket stocks.

I have a T3 (it's factory synthetic); it shoots too well to change stocks or play with the bedding. I'm just going to have it re-painted.

There are about a dozen companies that make aftermarket stocks for the Tikka.

But the smart thing would've been to order the T3X CTR not the T3X Hunter.

Thanks Bob, much appreciated!

I didn't get the Hunter, and I don't like the feel of the CTR. Try harder the next time you attempt to prove your superior intelligence, Munchkin.

Should I call you?

Lol says the guy that can't find an aftermarket stock for a Tikka.

Feel free.

...says the guy who assumes I have something I don't, and suggests what I should have done.

How about that MC Operator? You were right about one thing: your Google-fu sucks.

You're creeping me out, dude... I don't even remember what the issue was with the MCO, other than the fact that I wound up with two more 1911's that I really like.

I don't hear my phone ringing...
