This is for Tikka T3 owners?
Gonna be ordering my Tikka T3 soon in .25-06 and am wondering if I should get the Wood Stocked hunter version or the Composite Stock Lite? These are supposed to be real tack drivers out of the box. Is there any advantage to using the wooden stock hunter for accuracy or is it all a matter of aesthetics?
All suggestions for other Make of weapons (yes, I am talking to you Remington owners) will be ignored....
Considered the laminate stock, but the additional cost moves it out of my price range to that of the new Savages with the AccuStock.....nice but too much $$$

wood has better looks
wood often has a bit more weight which in theory makes it recoil a little less, but with a 25-06 that shouldn't be an issue.
synthetic stocks have a bit more flex and that itself often absorbs some of the recoil. Further, and probably more important, synthetic stocks do not change at all with high or low humidity conditions, nor at all but the most extreme conditions. This means you aren't going to have your stock swell up a little and press on the barrel changing point of impact

Look for the T3 in a laminated stock. Gives the properties of a synthetic stock ( no swelling) with the looks of a wood stock . Just an idea. Tikka are very accurate out of the box .

I would choose the Composite stock. Less effected by moisture....
