I use a Sinclair F-class bipod attached to sling stud and Protektor bag for ARA Factory Class. Works for me.

 

Thanks. As far as I can tell the Sinclair is unobtainable at this time.

 

They come in and out of stock frequently. Even if you signed up to be notified check the product page periodically.

 

This is my setup. Picatinny rail mounted bipod and heavy Protector rear bag. Coffee can to catch ejects.

 

Whats the bipod you are using ? Good looking set-up.

 

I really wanted to use my windage adjustable front rest but no matter what I did with the top that round forend made the rifle roll under recoil. I used a Atlas bipod and rear bag with good success in ARA factory class. Later I went to a Rempel F-Class bipod and PQP mechanical rear rest. The setup worked fine but I honestly don't think my scores improved much, if at all, over the Atlas bipod and rear bag

 

Iirc you can purchase a flat fore end module from Beretta for your tikka.I did. Also have module for more vertical grip etc. They charge coin for them but could be an option. Beretta is after all Beretta. Quite proud of their injection molding.

 

My current setup. Note that it worked well even when my T1X was completely stock. Works great for my Quad as well, which is completely stock. Rear bag is Protector.

 

What barrel and stock are you using?

What barrel and stock are you using?

The stock is a Bell and Carlson M40 and the barrel is an IBI "Drop-in"- at least that is the current terminology on the IBI site. The bbl I bought was not a drop-in but I bought it in 2021 so maybe they now have a true drop-in. My gunsmith had to heat the stock barrel to loosen the glue to get the old one out and work on the new barrel lip and extractor to make feeding reliable. According to my smith's notes, unfired CCI would extract easily but other brands had to be fired because they would jam into the rifling. Not sure what those brands were. I shoot exclusively from a bench and rarely have a need to eject unfired ammo. I typically shoot SK, Eley, or Lapua ammo. Next time out I'll try those brands to see if live rounds can be extracted.

 

Was it worth the investment?
