Setting up your Tikka

Start a Tikka setup by checking eye relief, cheek height, added length, and trigger feel separately, then choose only the part the actual fit requires.

Set eye relief first, then use the Tikka Fit Checklist on the exact rifle to check cheek height, added length of pull, and trigger feel separately. Add length only when the factory stock is confirmed too short; a spacer cannot shorten it. Use the Performance Kit only when a supported factory-stock setup needs both cheek-height and added-length correction. Current kit options are A$79–A$93, saving A$9–A$15 versus the matching separate parts.

Before choosing parts, run the Tikka Fit Checklist and separate eye relief, cheek height, and length of pull on your actual rifle.

Start with the exact rifle, optic, and intended use. Establish a baseline and inspect the setup before attributing a result to stock fit.

Fit depends on the exact stock, recoil pad, optic, rings, eye relief, position, and clothing. Height or optic use alone does not establish that a part is needed, and no group result should be inferred.

Check eye relief, cheek height, added length, and trigger feel separately; the correct outcome may be one change, more than one, or no change. Trigger work must follow the product and rifle instructions, include a function check before live fire, and go to a qualified gunsmith if you are unsure.

We’ve put together a detailed guide that walks through each adjustment, why it matters, and how to do it: How to Improve Your Tikka Rifle Ergonomics.

If you want to go deeper on any single topic:

If the fit check confirms both a low comb and a factory stock that remains too short, compare the Nokka Performance Kit. If only one dimension is off, choose that part alone; if the stock is too long, do not add spacing.
