My T3 is exactly like the picture. The cap on my stock looks like it is snapped in place. It moved slightly when pryed with a stiff knife but it seems to be very snug. It is a good bet that Tikka made sure the cap would not come off too easily. You might be able to get a look from the inside of the stock by removing the butt plate and inserting a small mirror. It is hard to imagine prying it off without leaving some unsightly marks on the stock or cap.

It looks like you might be in uncharted territory. My experience with other guns is that it would be glued on but a good picture of the cap for us to see would be a big help in helping you.

I load fresh Lapua brass without sizing first. I will run an expander through the necks if they are out of round.

I am very satisfied with my EGW picatinny rail.

Very very nice. Could we have some of the details?
Did it all yourself? -
Seems like only Tikka would know what they mean to say by what they write in their advertising. In my books free floating means no stock contact with the barrel anywhere (except for a short continuation of the bedding). There has been some discussion on other forums about some models of Tikkas having pressure points and whether these are by design or not. On my Super Varmint, the stock had to be worked a bit to prevent it from contacting the barrel.

Al, Thanks for the reply. My Super Varmint in 222R is the same with respect to getting better with age.

I stand corrected. Thanks Ranger. My erroneous post was flushed. My apologies.
The parts list in the back of my Tikka owners manual shows two lengths for the bolt stop, a short and a long.

Al,
What caliber and twist is your Super Varmint? Have you been shooting it much ? Care to update your review?

Considering the gun you are loading for, I suggest that you use the same seating depth as factory ammo. Your ammo has to fit in the magazine which might rule out seating out to the lands anyway. How well your ammo feeds from the magazine and how well it chambers is the first concern.
In your case I think that choice of bullet, powder and powder charge weight are more important for starters than changes in seating depth.
The question of seating depth usually comes down to what works best for the individual to get that last bit of accuracy from an already very accurate rifle and load. Beware of anyone making a general rule for others based on what works best for them.Added later: Speer recommends seating at least .020'' away from the lands when using maximum loads.

T3 super varmint in a Robertson JTR stock.
Too bad Robertson Composites stocks are temporarily unavailable.
