T3 Hunter Mountain Tactical stock and bolt shroud upgrade
Hi everyone,
Just picked up a Mountain Tactical Comp/Tac stock from the Tikka Performance store to replace the factory walnut stock that came with my T3 Hunter in .270wsm. I also got the MT bolt shroud upgrade which is a real quality part I am really impressed with the fit and finish!
The MT stock weighs a bit more than the factory one which I am thinking will help me out as the 270wsm has some kick with the light factory stock. I am hunting wild sheep, goats and pigs usually above 7000' on the mountains in Hawaii and I think this will work great off the bipod and handle the weather much better.
Haven't shot it yet but feels so much better than the factory stock. I'll update after putting some rounds through it this weekend.

Good looking rifle..i have same in 308. With handloads im sure it shoot .50 groups. Nice looking stock.

Thanks ND, I saw your .308, looks awesome with the Boyds. How do you like the thumbhole? I have never shot one.
I also picked up a DNZ one piece billet scope mount this week so hoping to get under .75moa with some good ammo. I haven't looked at reloading it yet but am thinking about it cause 270wsm is hard to get here in Hawaii.

If your buying factory hunting ammo i suggest nosler trophey accubonds. Fairly consistant loads with a good bullet. At $2.00 a shell for good factory hunting rounds your crazy not to reload. It costs me .84 cents a round to make far more consistant rounds than the best factory hunting loads.

All I have been able to find here are Federal PowerShok 130gr and Fed fusion 150's. So far surprisingly the Shoks seem to shoot better shooting just under 1 moa at 100yds.
My groups have been opening up a bit more as I have put more rounds through the rifle and I have seen noticeable dents in the factory recoil lug. So hopefully the new stock and lug will help, there was no play at all between the action and MT stock and lug when I installed it. Where as the factory stock would move back and forth when the action bolts weren't tightened up. Any advice from anyone on this area would be appreciated as I am fairly new to any sort of mods and tuning.
I would like to get into reloading but have no clue where to start and no experience in reloading. Any advice ?

Be sure to get a torqe wrench and play with your torque settings of the stock bolts and see what foot lbs your rifle likes. Mine likes 35 foot lbs. At 37 my group grew about 3/4 in. So it makes a difference. As far as reloading goes youtube and books. Its not hard to get started and will cost u about 400 give or take.

I am ordering a Wheeler torque wrench to play around with the torque amd will have to play around with it next weekend. Went to the range this morning and shot some decent groups just under to about 1 MOA. I think once I get the torque right and get the right ammo I'll be set. But I am hunting with this rifle not comp shooting so even with my worst group I have a dead animal.
The new MT stock was awesome and def felt much better the the factory stock. I'm really happy with it. Shot a few groups standing and from the bench and def noticed a big difference in recoil and all around it was much nicer and way more stable.

I made a mistake when i said foot lbs… its inch lbs not foot lbs
