Group buy? Would love to commit to it for you fellas, but cannot just yet. This thing needs finalized. Really shouldn't be much longer at all. Couple days to one week at best.
Have several PM's on this stock. I've read them, but cannot get them all answered just yet. I have taken notes though.
As a heads up, we may have a Varmint version in store next. My fingers are crossed as I know it would be popular as well. Fellas, I really cannot tell you or show how nice this stock is. It just fits, functions, and delivers. Check it out even if you have reservations. It will serve you well.
Gotta get, will be poking and prodding to get this out ASAP! Thanks for the interest. We have tried very hard to bring them all to you and it just cannot be done. However, this one had to be available and we made it happen.
I don't have the ability to post here as much as I would like and or even try to keep up, but when I do, I try and accommodate the best I can. We built this stock of customer request (as well as the big man BOSS's request), and feed back, general knowledge of current offereings, but seriously input from websites such as 24hrCF.com. Keep it up. There are several models we would like to dedicate the time to, but it is not a wam bang get it done in two days deal. We observe although don't have time to post on all threads. We listen and do our best. Once again, please keep the comments coming in. It does fuel projects!

In my opinion, Tikka is the most accurate, and affordable lightweight rifle on the market right now. Coupled with a nice stock, the competition is toast.

Haha, love the subtle change of "how about a group buy?" to "looking to join the group buy"...
Looks great, I would be in line for two. Now that you have the chassis figured out any chance of a varmint or light tactical model?

I just batch tested the weight on 15 stocks and they came in at 2.1 to 2.2 lbs. Most favored 2.1 lbs.
Due to the current lay up it appears that we will hold at this range for now.

Does'nt the factory stock go around 1lb 12oz? I hate the looks of the factory stock but would hate carrying an additional 5-6 oz's more. Does B/C have any plans to come up with something lighther than the oem stock? The whole point of the Tikka is to weigh less....JMO

Nice part about B&C, they put a real recoil pad on their stocks too.

My factory Tikka went 29oz adding a limbsaver recoil pad pushed it to 35oz so I dont think 34-36 is really going to be much of a change. The sling, scope and mounts will have more affect than a couple ounces of stock.

So, how does the Wild Dog Custom compare with this B&C..?
AND..
Does anybody know if the WSM magazine will capture and cycle the 284 Winchester/6.5x284..?
OR...
Will the standard 308/30-06 based magazines capture and cycle the 284 Winchester/6.5x284.?
EDITED; To ask... How robust is the trigger group say in salt spray regions..?
Has anybody here had their Tikka fail in the field, and if so, how.?

I've got a Weatherby Super Predator Master with a B&C stock. It's tan with black spider web on it. If this is the same thing I think I will be ordering one.

You can purchase direct through B&C and or go through the following distributors:
Shooters Discount Stockys Stocks Red Hawk Rifles
These distributors have established orders for this model this week. We are running 6 to 8 weeks so keep that in mind with ordering from them. We built up the inventory a bit to allow to give 24hr CF a first little trial run of them. Once again you can order direct now while we have them on the shelf.
