Yeah, I never warmed up to the Tikka Syn stock. The rifle was very accurate while in that stock...Utilitarian to be polite. I replaced it with a Wild Dog Carbon Fiber stock which is the 2nd from the left (above). They have a good reputation and their stocks are similar in material to Manners. They make a drop in stock, inletted for the Tikka T3....been very pleased with mine.Here you go http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/36_280/products_id/44402
I actually like the Tikka and Winchester rifles a lot, but both are suited for milder calibers. Both are lightweight and more than I'd want in a 300 win mag. I have one of these in 7mm rem mag and they are a great buy in a stainless weatherproof rifle. I did buy a Mcmillan stock for mine.
Another good point about the weight. My tikka's were all milder calibers: 25-06, 6.5x55, 308, and 270 Win. The older model M595/695 were significantly heavier ~ 1 lb more than the T3's. Just something to consider if you're buying a magnum caliber.
