This is very important on a T3, and can affect the accuracy on many of the T3 rifles as the barreled action recoils against this lug sandwiched in the stock. 2. On a Tikka t3, do I pillar bed or glass bed? Short answer is you do both.
What are Tikka stocks made from?
Utilizing layers of carbon fiber with a lightweight super strong fill is what sets the Altitude series above its fiberglass injection molded counterparts. The Tikka Altitude includes bedded pillars, a steel recoil lug and a new set of action screws. Tikka stocks will ship 4-6 weeks after ordered.
What does pillar bedding do?
Follow these simple steps to improve your rifle’s accuracy. The process is called pillar bedding because the rifle’s action is supported on non-compressible “pillars” that are rigidly bedded in the stock to help eliminate accuracy problems stemming from faulty, action-stressing, metal-to-wood fitting.

Recoil Lug – A stout flange, invariably incorporated into the underside of the front receiver ring of a bolt action, and also frequently incorporated into the underside of the barrel of a heavily-recoiling rifle which, when properly bedded, transfers recoil to the stock.
Is the 6.5 PRC good for elk?
When using bullets like a 127 grain Barnes LRX, a 140 grain Swift A-Frame, or a 143 grain Hornady ELD-X, the 6.5 PRC can be darn effective on even the biggest bull elk. If you have a hankering to use a 6.5mm cartridge on elk, then the 6.5 PRC is probably the best one for the job.
How far can a 6.5 PRC shoot?
Yes, the 6.5 PRC is a great choice as well. And, yes, the 6.5 PRC would offer a longer effective range of the same 6.5 bullets, but my 6.5 Creedmoor hunting load (more on that later) is terminally effective at 500-600 yards under most conditions. That’s plenty for me.
Are McMillan stocks drop in?
The new Z-1 adjustable stock from McMillan is “drop-in-ready” for Remington 700 actions. Depending on the production capabilities of the manufacturer, a custom rifle stock can take six to eight months or longer from the time you place your order until it arrives at your house or your gunsmith.
