Are there chassis available for the Tika T3?

[shovelstrokeed]

I'm fairly new here and a returning shooter. Got me a REPR that I'm working on building skills with but I know I'm going to need/want a bolt gun eventually.
When comparing prices and costs to build, the Tika seems a good starting point, with a decent balance between cost and quality. I know I can start here and upgrade eventually but wonder about building a chassis gun. Any info would be appreciated.

Whiskey 3, XLR are the most commonly used.

Links to potential options:

Welcome to KRG

Hunting | Got X Ring

XLR Industries | Inlets

Roedale Precision - Finishes

And a more traditional option that is designed to be a true drop-in for the T3:

Tikka T3 / Sako Q22 | Manners Composite Stocks

Also, MDT says that they will be inletting their chassis for Tikka soon. If you are interested, please contact them to help drum up some support. The more the merrier!

Gary Eliseo of Competition Shooting Stuff makes his chassis for the Tikka, I believe. Think the web site is Got X Ring

Just keep in mind that if you have a long action caliber, I think the only option is the Roedale chassis. You can research that here, easily. All the others will only take short action AI mags, which is a shame and why I am currently at the mercy of McMillan.

Rock Solid Stocks is also in the process building one. With luck it won't be much longer.

My vote is for XLR, Kyle was awsome to deal with and I love the feel and stability of his chassis.

Wow, Thanks, guys.

I did see that XLR made a chassis, I'll research the others.
Short action should be OK as I plan on 308 and probably never gonna need sub-sonic as I'll never put a can on it so 200 grains are out. Paper puncher only, although deer season is open in NC. Short ride from Florida.

Now to locate a T3 with the longer bbl, I understand only 20" in the Tac model now. I would prefer 24-26. I'm pretty sure a rebarrel wouldn't be much of an issue except for the $$$$.

Manners also has one.

If your going to replace the stock anyway, get a used t3 lite and put the extra money into re barreling it.
