The stock doesn't really fit me, but I bought this knowing that I've got a Vision Hybrid Chassis coming to drop the barreled action into.

If you are having issues with fit I would look at getting a lower scope mount setup. When birds can fly through the gap between the scope and the barrel it never makes for a wonderful shooter.

Yeah the mount is a tad high but it's all exaggerated by the Stokes stock which is supposed to be designed for "women and children" or people of smaller stature.

Once it's in the chassis and the NV bridge is installed and if there is room I'll probably look at getting some rings so I can reduce the height. The Maven has quite a chunky section around the turrets, I presume for the increase in elevation, so it wouldn't fit in a medium monomount so had to go high.

FFS the mod is bigger than the scope. It's a 223 :oops:.
 
4.3kg unloaded but including mag and bolt (or 9.5lbs if you prefer)

Tikka Superlight in 6.5CM (24 inch barrel), Nigeloh sling, Stalon mod, neoprene cover, optilock mounts, Steiner ranger 6-24x56 scope, spartan javellin bipod mount

Heavier than I’d realised!

That’s the point of this thread really. They are more often than not heavier than you think.


Photos please…
