XLR vs. Roedale RCS II .308 chasis for Tikka T3

[lavaspit]

Both of these stocks run around $750.00. Im not sure if the Roedale is distributed in the US so right there that sets it off price wise and wiat-time. The Roedale looks pretty solid, but the XLR is all aluminum, and made in the good old USA.

Does anyone have experience with either of these chasis, or even just from a general objective perspective, what are yoru thougts on which stock I should apply to my Tikka.

Here are some links to help you get the facts and images:

Your thoughts are appreciated, and I apologize if this has been discussed before. Not everyone has a Tikka, (and I might not either if I had known about how versatile Remys are) but I like that its a triple collaboration, and there are a lot of quality parts there.

Check out the KRG Whiskey 3 too, about the same price as the Roedale($975).

don't think you can beat the xlr (especially for the money). not a bad chassis at all, not to mention that it looks bad as fuck, even if you paint it sissy blue.

I haven't tried the other two so my opinion is a little skewed. I just got my xlr for my remmy and I love it. It exceeded my expectations. Not to mention that Kyle will help you every step of the way.

The Roedale costs around 815 USD because you don't have to pay the 19% VAT (without shipping)

Unless you consider the chassis to be a "work of art", you can't make that leap.

+1 on the XLR, Kyle is the bomb.

the people at roedale are GTG. they do not have a US distributor, but if it is in stock, you may well get it before you get another chassis if that chassis is deeply backordered.

i got a roedale raptor and i'm pretty pleased with it.

+1 for XLR. I am very pleased with mine and plan to buy another for my next build.

Kyle offers top notch customer service!

Re: XLR vs. Roedale RCS II .308 chasis for Tikka T3

For what its worth, I have the Roedale and I am very happy with it. Solid customer service too.

The general impression I get is that you cant go wrong with either

I'm a more than happy camper with my Roedale RT43 with a March 3x24x42 FFP on top.

When it's in stock go for it. If your in to it he's even got a set of pink viperskins

She had it all cleaned for me, but then I came home from college and turned it upside down and brought the safe up from the basement.


The wallpaper is a good contrast. Guns in the room are intimidating, bears on bikes is relaxing.

I had wanted a Roedale RCS for the longest time for my T3, but the lead time was ridiculous. I ended up getting two T3's and outfitted them with an XLR AND and WC3. Both of which were great upgrades from the crappy stock.

Both are great stocks but offer very different features. I would say the WC3 is much more complete...

I own both the Whiskey and the XLR. I have both the folding and non-folding versions of each. If I were to order another tomorrow, it would be a Whiskey.
