How to Choose the Right OAC TAC Rifle Stock for Your Rifle
Choosing the right rifle stock isn’t just about comfort — it’s about precision, control, and confidence in every shot. Whether you’re glassing across a snowy ridge, stalking through the forest, or preparing for long-range accuracy in the field, your stock needs to match both your rifle and your style of hunting.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to selecting the best OAC TAC stock for your setup.
1. Know Your Rifle System
OAC TAC stocks are currently available for:
- Tikka T3 & T3x CRT
- Tikka T3 & T3x Lite
- Tikka T1x
- Remington 700 short actions (from Fall '25 onward)
Make sure to confirm your rifle's action type before choosing a stock.
2. Choose Your Material: Carbon Fiber or Fiberglass?
Matrix Carbon
- Ultralightweight for mountain hunts and demanding terrain
- Maximum stiffness and recoil resistance
- Ideal for mobile hunters and ounce-counters
Matrix Fiberglass
- Durable and cost-effective
- Slightly heavier, but extremely rugged
- Great for all-season hunters and rough use
Both models offer the same core features — only the material and weight differ.
3. Pick the Right Adjustability for Your Needs
All OAC TAC stocks come with:
- 25 mm adjustable carbon cheek rest
- LOP (Length of Pull) adjustment system
– Add +10 mm with included spacers
– Add up to +20 mm with optional recoil pads
These adjustments ensure a perfect optic alignment and custom shoulder fit — whether you're wearing a t-shirt or a winter parka.
4. Consider Your Accessories & Setup
OAC TAC stock includes:
- Optional Integrated ARCA forend rail – attach bipods, tripods, or slings easily
- Dual QD sling cups – for quick carry transitions
- Flat-bottomed forend – optimized for stability on bags or rests
→ Perfect for both traditional hunting and tactical/precision setups.
5. Match Your Environment
Hunting steep alpine terrain or backcountry? Go with Matrix Carbon for maximum weight savings.
Need a durable, all-round stock for forests, stands, and harsh weather? Matrix Fiberglass is your go-to.
