Tikka Shroud...MT vs Beretta

[Idaboy]

Looking to replace my plastic shroud....anyone have any real world comparison of the Mountain Tactical vs the Tikka/Beretta?...the Beretta is like $40 but I didn't know if it is loose/rattles....looks like the new ones come with a spring...this is for Tikka T3
The Mountain Tactical looks nice but is quite a bit more.
Thanks!

Don’t know about comparing the two but my MT shroud is nice. Perfect fitting and easy to install.

I put a new factory one on my t3. Fit is very good and snug with the spring. I don’t know how important looks are for you, but it is not a thing of beauty. I don’t know what the finish actually is on the factory one, but it is matte/rough not shiny machined. I’m very happy with it.

Thanks for input...."thing of beauty", that's funny

My friend has a MT one that has a picture of a sheep on it. its sort of cool I guess. Not really though.

I ordered a Mountain Tactical Shroud for a T3 that had the plastic shroud, it made the bolt lift incredibly heavy on opening and rough on close. I returned it and ordered the metallic one from Beretta - no issues.

One of mine has the MT; nice machining, good fit. The other has the factory plastic, which has never been an issue. I don't see replacing the plastic one as a "must do," more of a want.

I have the lumley ones. Work well enough for me. No rattling and didnt do anything to the bolt as far as operation.

Tikka T3 and T3x

The only aftermarket shroud I have is a sterk. It dosnt even require a spring, super tight tolerance.

Totally not needed but it is nice.

I purchased a MT Gen 4 to replace the factory metal one. If you want my factory one you can have it. Function didn’t change at all. The factory spring appears to be more robust than the provided MT spring. The “upgrade” is purely aesthetic IMO and unless you consider shaving 1/2” oz worth the money.
