Tikka T3x Lite

[Rookiewiththings]

I'm new to the site and would like to drop some words 'bout my recently bought rifle.
So I grabbed the new Tikka T3x Lite stainless in 270Win and have done some mods on it. I replaced the factory stock with Boyd heritage stock in zombie green color. Ialso swapped the bolt knob and trigger guard with Atlas bolt knob and bottom metal. Chopped 1 1/2" off the barrel and recrown also tossed in with Witt Machine brake. Drop down trigger pull weigh to 2 lbs with hand loaded ammos at 103 yards 3 shot groups no bigger than dime size. I'm in looooove!!!

Nice looking rifle, I've got the T3 in 270win in the walnut stock I got in a trade from another forum member that shoots very good as well.
Any gripes with the ergos on the Boyds stock ?
The factory Tikka I have is a nice stock and well designed for its purpose but is a bit off for me in a few places.

Looks cool.
What is that black thing on the barrel?

The green might be a bit bright for my tastes, but it is cool.

It's a barrel tuner. Like a rubber donut used to help with barrel harmonics

It's barrel harmonizers it helps reduce or control the vibrations of the barrel.

Slide it up and down the barrel to a point where you like your shot groups.
There's tons on EBay.

People tune their loads, to find one that their barrel loves. So this lets you tune the harmonics ( = vibrations) of your barrel, so that it loves your ammunition. Or you can do both.
