    F T/R Competition Barreled Action is here need a stock maker!!

    Just received my barreled action back from Mack Tilton @ MT Guns. It is a 12 twist Bartlein Med Palma 30 in with a 95 Palma chamber. The action is a Tikka 595 which limits me stock wise. Anyone have any recommendations for a custom inleted FTR stock?

    F T/R Competition Ready to order some bullets any suggestions ?

    I had Mac Tilton rebarrel my M595 action with a 12 twist Bartlien in .308. I had him cut the chamber with the Palma 95 reamer. I am going to order a few different boxes of 155's and would like some opinions on the various offerings from Berger, Sierra and Lapua. Thanks in advance Corey
