I just picked up a tikka master sporter and would like some metal bottom metal for it instead of the plastic. Kind of a long shot, but you never know.

Re: Tikka 595 master sporter bottom metal
I had the factory plastic duplicated in aluminum years ago. It was probably a waste of $$$ since I have NEVER heard of a break/failure with the plastic as of yet.

Re: Tikka 595 master sporter bottom metal
Anyone know how close T3 bottom metal is to that of 595? Im still looking for a 595 bottom alternative.

It's not close. The reason is that the T3 bottom "metal" is all one size, magnum. The 595 as you know is the short action.

Massoud,
Do you guys make anything for these? I have a Gen 4 folder on Sporter that I love. Wondering if you make anything for the master sporter/595
Hello,
No we don't but it wasn't for lack of trying. The magwell on the 595 was too small for any common mag to go into. I think the action itself was too wide as well, since it's a flat bottom. Then there was the recoil "lug" issue. Great actions but unfortunately it just didn't work and of course they don't make them anymore and there's really not that many out there. Sorry for the bad news. If you are really lucky you may be able to find a Master Sporter stock which is just about the pinnacle of ergonomics (that fit me personally).
