Anyone have a Tikka bedded in a Game Scout?

[freshta]

Hey everyone. Looking for suggestions/advice about mounting a Tikka T3 in a McMillan Game Scout stock. I have a recent hand injury that kills me when I stretch out my trigger finger when using a standard rifle grip. When I use a pistol grip, my hand feels way better. Anyone have a standard barrel in a Game Scout? What are your opinions?

Thanks,

Tony

I’ve got a Tikka rebarreled in 280ai that sits in a game Scout. My favorite hunting stock. View attachment 59091View attachment 59091View attachment 59091

The tikka I am having built is going into one but I haven't handled it yet.

I have no doubt the stock is awesome. I've just never seen a lite barreled tikka mounted on one. Thanks for the input!

Probably a wider fore end but as long as the inletting is correct it won't look to weird.

I have a Tikka in a Game Scout, that I had rebarreled. I own three Game Scouts, I think it's a great stock and it fits me well.

That's a badass gun! The game scout has a low cheek weld.. are you guys all using butt packs or something to get your eye inline with scope?

Ha! what are the odds... So the above mentioned Tikka I am putting in a game scout also is getting a carbon barrel and that same exact scope.

I don't have a problem at all getting my eye aligned and a solid cheek weld. I know others that own a Game Scout have, they usually get some type of pack.

I guess the odds are pretty good. Post a pic when you get it back.

What cal? Mine is going to be a long action 300wsm

Correction to see you have the 50mm v6. Mine is actually the 3-15x42 hd5 turret

Nice boomer. Any idea what it weighs without the bipod?

Desk Jockey,
The rifle weighs 8.75lbs without the bipod.
