Mountain Tactical Company spent months designing, testing, and improving what has become the finest Tikka T3/T3x Bolt Shroud on the market today. The development team was tasked with creating not only a more durable bolt shroud than the plastic factory part, but to also add a level of increased precision that would allow the firearm to perform better than it does with the plastic shroud.

Not only is it significantly heavier than the previous generation's plastic shroud, but the accuracy of the part suffered due to the production process. The Mount Mfg: Mountain Tactical
