I know that there are a few people on this forum that own a Tikka T3, well i own one in 300 WSM, and i am thinking of getting one of these new stock put on it, my question is, does anyone have any experience with putting one of the Bell & Carlson stocks on a Tikka T3, and if so how did it shoot after you swapped the stock out. Any input on if this is a good idea or not would be appreciated. Thanks: Mick

I have a B&C stock on my Nosler Trophy Grade
I think it is essentially a medalist
from Nosler's site:
custom aluminum-bedded Bell and Carlson™ composite stock
 
it's a good stock, fits good, and the gun shoots 2.5" groups at 500 yards...
 
I have owned several Tikkas and would not hesitate to try the B&C
 
Manners Precision also makes one for Tikkas
I have an MSC-T on my Rem 700 308
a "better" stock for sure, I can't find any faults with the B&C frankly

I just put a bell and carlson on my Rem 700 in 300WM.  One thing to check out on B&C's website before you pull the trigger is if the 325WSM has a different barrel contour (like the Rem's do in magnum caliber), you'll have to do some inletting at the barrel channel to get the right fit.  Not a big deal with a dremel and the right bit, but something to note.  I had to do a little, but I'm pleased with it overall.  I plan to shoot it this weekend for the first time.  Also, you might check around for the best price.  I just got a box from midway (reloading stuff, etc), and I order from them often, but I got my stock from Stocky's Stocks.  Great shipping and the best price I found.  Good luck to you, sir.

That is a nice rifle you have there.

Also, I believe there are some youtube videos that might help you with your installation and some with reviews...might be worth checking out.
