I like the feel of the laminated stock a lot better than the synthetic stock.
Tikka laminated stock vs synthetic.
Our helmick arms ultra light laminate stocks are actually lighter than the synthetic stock it comes.
I ve had both and in the rain the factory wintuff winchester 70 laminated stock swelled so much the recoil pad looked 2 sizes too small and the gap between the forend and barrel disappeared.
If tikka s numbers are correct with the synthetic stock the rifle weighs 5 9 pounds and with the laminate stock it weighs 6 6.
So really i m only looking about a difference of 3 4 s of a pound.
It just feels a lot more balanced to me.
I am looking to buy a new 300 and i am eyeing up the tikka t3.
The tikka t3 hunter is designed for the shooter who wants a rifle with both top performance as well as a classic style and feel.
It is built with traditional principles and modern innovation providing you with a new level of accuracy reliability and enjoyment.
The weight difference is not that significant mere lb in the magnum models.
Give your tikka t3 rifle an upgrade with a variety of stocks from tikka.
With scope weight added i would be looking at 6 93 or 7 63.
Direct replacement for tikka t3 pad.
The t3x version is less rigid and is a little truer darker black.
The stock material has no bearing on whether a rifle shoots well.
Tikka presently offers the t1x in two calibers 22 lr and 17 hmr with the former having a slightly higher twist rate than the latter.
I ve done lots of looking but have failed to find any info on laminated stocks.
They are typically 12 oz more.
These stocks feature standard polymer design or different wood grain patterns and provide you with extras like sling swivels ergonomic grips and recoil pads.
The laminated tikkas are definitely heavier than the synthetic.
All of this happened in one full day of rain.
For wet weather definitely go with a synthetic stock over a laminated.
Weather can change in minutes but the accuracy and performance of this rifle stands for years tikka t3x laminated stainless is a weather resistant sharp looking grey stock for the adventurous hunter.
Raw accuracy depends on barrel quality bedding quality and a host of other variables.
T3x laminated stainless is designed to withstand demanding weather conditions.
It is true however that a synthetic stock rifle is less likely to change its point of impact in extreme weather.
Most manufacturers don t accurately list their laminate rifle weights because of variations in wood density used in making a laminate stock.
The t3 hunter offers an extensive caliber selection for hunting and sport shooting purposes.
