    Looks like I'd need all types of export/ import licences as its a ' tactical' firearm so I'll just have to pay

    Road trip to Finland might be cheaper

    Which businesses, and how much does the FTSE effect your day to day life (unless you work in the Stock Exchange)?

    ARM was bought yesterday for £26 billion but it won't affect you you're leaving. The main thing is we have sovereignty back.

    The other view is the FTSE100 is higher than it was before. Firms from all over the world are buying into business and big new contracts have been signed since the vote. Its the best thing the UK could do is leave the EU.
    I want to be able to vote for who's in charge not be told.

    I don't think it is in the link on the first post its on the Sako stand at a show. Read on face book that its going to be a Tikka stock option.

    Looks nice and hopefully its priced to compete with the Ruger

    139gr Matchking ? Do they make one
    If you mean 140 SMK then N560 is a slower powder and better than N140 in the 6.5×55. start load is 45.2 and max 48.3 in the Vhit load book. check what bullet you have first though. start low and pressure test.

    July 7, 2015 at 2:26 pm in reply to: GRS stocks nice, but a bit too pricey
    Tikka Shooters Forum favicon icon 1 Bullseye

    I really like the GRS stocks and have four. The first one I bought about 5 years ago and is on a 204 foxing rifle it is the adjustable hunting stock. The next is a .223 in a GRS sporter stock, then there's a .260 in a long range and lastly a 308 in a Hybrid. Three of these rifle are Tikkas and one Howa the Tikkas fitted straight away onto the steel lug that comes in the stock. I did a bedding job on one but it shoots no better than the others. The lug is very tuff and none of them have a single make on them after hundreds of rounds. The Howa also fitted well, out the box.
    The Hybrid has been developed from the long range but they have removed the mono pod on the rear and made it flatter to run a rear bag. The mono pod on the long range is nice however it can drop if pressure is put on it.
    All the stocks have the same grip that is off set and lines your trigger finger up perfectly also they are thumb up, that feels very comfortable. The stocks comes fitted with a flush cup and sling stud on the newer ones, the older ones only had studs. I like the side mounted rear cup or stud it make the rifle lay flat on your back when carrying it.
    The butt pad and cheek rest are adjusted by just pushing a large button in and pulling or pushing to where you want them. The butt pad can also be moved up and down the same way.
    Being 6'6″ I find a lot of stocks to small but these fit me fine they also fit my vertical challenged friend.
    Three of them have been fitted with aics type bottom metals without a problem.
    The only bad thing I can think about them is they are a tad heavy, otherwise  they would be perfect.
