bullterrier"Improving" a Tikka T3
Great rifles! But some of us don't like the synthetic stock. And maybe the replacement magazines are bit pricey.
I'd really like a wood stock to replace the synthetic one - anyone make them?
And I have heard about replacement Bottom Metal allowing new metal magazines to be used on Remngton 700s, but what about the T3?
Anyone got any suggestions?
cheers!

Rub LineAs far as improving a T3. I would replace the plastic bolt shroud with a steel one, do an internet search, there seems to be plenty of them out there. Mine came with a wood stock, perhaps you could watch ebay and the forum for a takeoff stock. Also, I don't like the zippy sound that the bolt makes so I buffed mine to a high polish and I may eventually jewel the bolt. There is a guy on ebay that will jewel the bolt for around 60 bucks (though I will do mine myself).
The plastic bottom metal dosen't bother me too much, I don't think it's any worse than the aluminum stuff that's on most factory guns these days. And the mag works, so I personally don't think I'd mess with somehting that dosen't need fixin.
