Build looks great! I really like the Mesa stocks. Was that a pre fit barrel?

 

[Redside]

Just received the barrel yesterday and put it together last night. This is my first semi-custom or custom anything, have always done factory. Pretty excited to get load development going. Hope it shoots as good as I think it looks!

Tikka T3X 300WM, stock bolt, trigger, bottom metal, and mag
22" CarbonSix Featherlite 1:9 twist (planning on 175g LRX)
Mesa Precision Arms Altitude Stock
Leupold VX5-HD 3-15x44 Windplex with ZL (tally single piece X-Low mounts)
WIll have a Ross Muzzle Break (self-time) when in Cali, and use my dad's Banish 30 can when out of state
Sits at 8.3lbs as pictured (unloaded)

Sitting at just around $3300 with the Muzzle Break (not the Can). I think you can get something similar from some custom makers out there, and save some time. Might be a bit more $, but likely not much. I did ike the experience of making this happen though. Now I'll drop another $200 easy on load development

Are those Talley rings? If so, how do you like the bubble level on the top?

Yes they are X-Low. I like it. The way I shoot, I can see it pretty well, and I like it better than the side mounts. I think it might be a bit mroe durable too.

Stockys Carbon Fiber with diy paint job
Talley lows
Trijicon Credo 3-9x40

Future - microbastard brake and getting bolt fluted and bolt knob skeletonized.

I’ll try to get some pictures of tang area as requested and the bedding area when I pull it off.

That's a dang nice looking trigger guard and mag

And funny, because the stock along with color is exactly what I was wanting to do with my Tikka. I'll be doing that again with the TG and mag, but will get a high desert rifle works one because I like the round shape more

I like the solid green color that you chose. Nice looking rifle.

Appreciate it. Hard to see in those pictures but there is a brown and black speckled texture on top of the green as well, and then 4-5 coats of clear matte enamel. (Had to clean up inside where bottom Metal goes just a bit).

Any idea if it's possible to widen the barrel channel a tad without damaging the stock? I was considering calling them to ask
