Description
Mountain Tactical Company is
proud to announce our Gen3 Elite Series Stainless Steel Recoil lugs for your
Tikka T3 and Tikka T3x rifle.
Our
latest generation of recoil lugs are a significant upgrade from the second
generation of lugs. Previously, we used 316 marine grade stainless steel
which had a yield strength of 89,000 psi. This was a major improvement
from the factory aluminum lug which has a yield strength of 21,000 psi or the
T3x mild steel lug which has a yield strength of 36,000 psi (significantly less
than the standard psi generated by modern rifle cartridges). Now we have upgraded
the stainless steel we use to 17-4PH H900 stainless steel. The yield
strength of this remarkable steel is 200,000 psi.
That is 33% stronger than
Grade 5 Titanium!
This
is a similar system the Sako TRG-42 utilizes without the $3,500 price tag!
We
proudly manufacture our Gen3 Elite Series Stainless Steel Recoil Lugs from
17-4PH H900 Stainless Steel for the ultimate in weather resistance and a
lifetime of service.
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 our recoil lug.
The
Mountain Tactical Company Elite Series Recoil Lugs for the Tikka T3 are of the
finest quality you will find anywhere.

Very easy to install and has the rifle much tighter than previous lug. After ~5000 rounds it was a great improvement. I'll be buying some more in the near future for other Tikka's.

The in tell on the forums suggested that any cartridge generating more recoil than the .243 Win. could probably benefit from replacing the OEM aluminum recoil lug due to peening over time. Having bought two Tikka T3's in .243, one to AI, and the other to re-barrel to .260 Rem. (Maybe AI...?), I didn't like being on the fence..., so I took the leap and ordered one of these for the 1st rifle. I wasn't disappointed. It fit more snug into the lug recess in the stock and was finished beautifully. The 1st of the 2 rifles shot sub MOA out of the gate with factory ammo but seemed to have a "slight" wanderer in each group. Since bedding in this block, groups are much more consistent. I just ordered a another for the second rifle.

Another quality part from M.T. Excellent fit in my .300 WSM T3, well worth the wait!!

Great product. Creates a much improved fit and appearance over factory.
