Tikka T3 adjustable LOP?

[deerfarmer]

Hey all you tikka t3 owners! Their website claims the stock has spacers you can use to adjust LOP ... true? If so, how do you like it?

Was wondering the same thing, the manual mentions spacers but my T3 varmint didn't come with any. It seems that they are supposed to come with some but mine didn't, although mine was on display at jo-brook so it was an open box and I'm pretty sure I was given the wrong box cause the manual was marked 204 ruger while mine is 300wm

I think they come with a small spacer installed - but I never removed my buttpad to check.

If it does come with spacers, the difference would be pretty minimal. There weren't any 'extra' shims in the box that I recall!

Just bought a Lam/SS. No spacers. IIRC, the spacer kit containing 2 spacers and long screws is an accessory purchase.

Interesting, thanks all. I've handled one before and thought it would be nice to have a little more LOP.

If you add a prefit Limbsaver pad, you will gain approx. 1/2". Big improvement over the factory hockey puck. Enjoy your Tikka!

spacers came with my t3 sporter. but havent tried them yet. I may only need a limbsaver.

This is good to know - I was wondering whether the limbsaver would add any. I found out today at my somewhat local gun store, the one he had on the shelf did not come with spacers. The good news is I put a deposit on my future t3 lite stainless in 6.5x55! Cant wait to get some shooting in with it
