I see that a few of you guys have had your LGS swap the Tikka action you want for the stock you want. That sounds like a plan to me.

I'm going to call around and find someone who'll Fluted barrel in the Lite stock.

Thanks all.

Have you thought about a lever action in 22 magnum. Pretty light weight.

Nah. I get what you're saying for the weight but I'm set on the .223.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
