Things keep getting better and better! The Mountain Tactical Gen2 Bottom Metal includes updates based on customer feedback. The trigger guard has been rounded to eliminate hard corners that could cause discomfort while shooting. Pulling design cues from classic, American bolt action rifles, the Mountain Tactical Company Tikka Bottom Metal a great addition to any factory Tikka T3 or T3x! The purpose of the Tikka T3 OEM replacement bottom metal is to get rid of another piece of plastic on the rifle that is prone to flexing which causes some of Tikka's magazines to get stuck in the magwell or shooters to have flyers compromising accuracy. The Trigger Guard has been enlarged making it safer to shoot the rifle with gloves. Additionally, we widened the trigger guard a little to enhance the safety of the rifle by making it more difficult to accidentally discharge the rifle while eliminating some sympathetic muscle movement upon trigger pull. No gunsmithing is necessary for installing and it is compatible with all models of Tikka T3 EXCEPT the latest generation of CTR which uses the TRG22 magazine system. Proudly Made in Montana!
