I recently acquired a Tikka T3 Tactical, and considered a lot of different stock and chassis options before deciding on the GRS Berserk synthetic stock.
For those unfamiliar with GRS, they are a Norwegian company best known for their high quality and beautiful laminate stocks.
I haven't noticed any other threads about the GRS Berserk stock here on CGN, so i thought i would share my initial impressions - and add a more detailed hands-on review later on once I've had some good field/range time with it.
First impressions were very positive. Much more ergonomic for me than the OEM Tikka stock, as well as much more solid-feeling, durable and grippy. I forgot to weigh them separately, but my guess is that the GRS stock is a bit heavier as it is a more robust design.
One small quibble i have about the GRS Berserk stock is that both the cheek piece and the adjustable butt will pull right out if extended too far. Now this isn't a practical problem for many who will set the adjustment and leave it as is...but i take guests to the range often and share my firearms, and I can see this being an irritant. The pieces go back in with a bit of fiddling, but I would prefer if there were a simple way to lock the adjustable pieces in place once they are at maximum extension.
GRS Berserk stock installed:
Tikka T3 Tactical .308
GRS Berserk synthetic stock
Sako TRG22 muzzle brake
Harris HBRMS bipod
Seekins Precision high scope rings 30mm
Zeiss Diavari ZA 2.5-10x52mm T* scope
Overall I'm very pleased with the stock and overall setup so far. The rifle feels really solid, grippy and comfortable in my hands, and the adjustability means I can get it just as i like it. The stock looks and feels like it would stand up well to long term hard use.
Looking forward to putting it to the test at the range at some point in the next couple of weeks.
