Mountain Tactical Tikka T3/T3x Bombproof Recoil Lug T3T3XESL

The Mountain Tactical Elite Recoil Lug offers the additional strength of 17-4PH H900 stainless steel absorbing the recoil of the rifle instead of the light-weight aluminum alloy Tikka uses. If you remove the recoil lug from your stock, you'll see an upside down trapezoid appear over time. This dent eventually allows the action to move under recoil and degrades accuracy. The Elite Series Stainless Steel Recoil Lug is also machined to a larger dimension, yet still fits in the factory stock. This tighter fit results in increased rigidity between the action and the stock. The increase in consistency of the rifle is amazing! The latest generation of recoil lugs are a significant upgrade from the third generation of lugs. Mountain Tactical upgraded the material used to manufacture these precision components. It is a specialized alloy reserved mostly for the aerospace industry. The chemistry of the metal allows for continuous high impacts with no distortion. These lugs are finished with a Melonite QPQ coating for the ultimate in weather resistance and a lifetime of service. This also leaves a nice Black finish. Elite Series Stainless Steel Recoil Lugs for the Tikka T3 will provide you a lifetime of service, even under the harshest conditions or the heaviest recoil you throw at them. These lugs are machined to an amazing +/- .0002" tolerance. Installation is simple. Simply remove the two action screws and separate your action from the stock. Using a pair of pliers, remove the existing metal piece from the stock. Then push the Elite Series Recoil Lug into the same recess. Put your action and stock back together and tighten your action screws. You are done! Note that sometimes it can take a little longer to line up your action and stock because of the tighter tolerances of the Mountain Tactical recoil lug.
