Tikka Featherweight Gen3

The Bolly Stocks Gen3 Tikka Featherweight Rifle Stock is a modified sporter stock with a focus on keeping the stock slim and trim yet still comfortable under heavy recoil. Featuring the hallmark of our gen3 series, a drop in fit inlet and carbon fibre bedding. Inlet and barrel channel are moulded in for the ultimate in rigidity, further strengthened by having the recoil lug made from carbon fibre and integral to the stock.

We have designed and built the stock based on our experiences packrafting, backpack hunting through rivervalleys and stalking through thick bush as well as in New Zealand in Red Deer country. For the ultimate in performance we suggest pairing this stock with a short (18”-22”) Proof carbon sendero light barrel, however we have achieved exceptional performance from factory tikka barrels and if you have the fluted light barrelled action from a superlight, installing in our stock will make it a true featherweight.

All Bolly stocks are produced on the same production line and to the same standard as Bolly Aviation Carbon fibre propellers.

The Gen3 Tikka Featherweight comes standard as a drop in fit for Tikka T3, T1 and T3x actions. The barrel channel is sized to have up to a Proof Research carbon fibre wrapped Sendero Light installed and still fit in this stock (so that includes CTR profiles for example). A recoil lug is not required as a carbon one is integral to the carbon bedding surface. Carbon pillars are standard and accept standard Tikka and Lumley Arms action screws. The Trigger guard inlet fits the factory plastic DBM as well as the Lumley Arms plastic magazine DBM, The atlasworxs alloy OTM also fits but care may be required to ensure reliable feeding from cartridges such as 6.5 creedmoor – we are happy to prefit an Atlasworxs and test feeding prior to shipping.

Recoil pad is a Airtech limbsaver as standard as in our experience this is the highest performing lightweight recoil pad on the market. However, it is less durable than the classic Limbsaver so care must be taken to store your firearm with the recoil pad uncompressed.

Both Left hand and Right hand Inlets are available.

2x Grovtec Flush cups are installed as standard on the opposing side to the bolt notch, one in the forend and one in the buttstock, once you use flush cups, we predict you’ll want to change all your rifles to this setup.

For bipod installation we install a B&T Industries BT34 2.05″ picatinny rail on the forend as standard, this allows for keeping the rifle as slim as possible for moving it in and out of packrafts or your pack. If you require sling studs for a harris style bipod, please let us know and we can include some standard studs in the order for you – this allows you to upgrade to a rail system down the track.

We have tested these stocks extensively and believe the carbon bedding system is unparalleled when it comes to durability and performance, it is expected accuracy will be the equivalent or better than a properly devcon bedded stock, without requiring the extra weight from the bedding compound. If you are comparing our stocks to others, please remember to compare finished, bedded weight.

  • Low-Density Honeycomb in the Forend and Buttstock absorb recoil
  • Carbon Skin mitigates torque
• Carbon Fibre dramatically reduces weight while increasing stock rigidity, critical for precision
• Composite materials are inert, waterproof and weatherproof
• Full Ruff-Tuff Coat is grippy yet comfortably to the cheek and hard wearing
