The MDT TIMBR Core Laminate is what happens when you stop choosing between the warmth of a traditional wood stock and the rock-solid repeatability of modern chassis technology. This laminated construction combines ultra-rigid wood with an aluminum micro-chassis inside, giving you consistent action fit, repeatable torque values, and improved zero retention across temperature and humidity swings. No bedding job needed, no gunsmith visit required—just drop your action in, torque the screws, and head to the range.
The TIMBR Core keeps the traditional sporter profile that feels natural in your hands, but MDT redesigned the geometry with ergonomic touches from their competition chassis systems. The comb is raised slightly to work better with optics, the grip angles are refined for a secure hold, and the stock has modern length-of-pull spacers so you can dial in the fit that works for your body and shooting position. The oversize forend channel handles heavier barrels without compromise, and integrated sling studs let you run a bipod or carry strap depending on your hunt or training session.
Laminate construction was originally developed to solve a real problem: solid wood stocks can warp and shift your zero as temperature and humidity change. By layering wood under pressure, laminate stocks resist those environmental swings that trip up hunters. Add MDT's aluminum micro-chassis with their proven V-block bedding system, and you've got precision that stays locked in from fall to spring, field to range. Wood naturally dampens recoil too, making follow-ups faster and cleaner.
The TIMBR Core Laminate for Tikka T3X short action works with AICS-pattern magazines when paired with an MDT CORE bottom metal (sold separately). This opens up your magazine options significantly beyond what a factory Tikka setup allows. The laminate is available in distinctive green and grey finishes that give your rifle personality without looking out of place in any hunting scenario.
No, the TIMBR Core stock requires a separate bottom metal for AICS magazine compatibility. MDT offers several bottom metal options designed to pair with the TIMBR Core, including the CORE Bottom Metal. Once you add bottom metal, the system is complete and ready for drop-in installation.
The V-block bedding is a precisely machined tapered block inside the aluminum micro-chassis that cradles your rifle's action. It ensures consistent contact points between the action and the chassis, eliminating flex and movement during firing. This design means you get repeatable groups and zero retention without traditional bedding compound or gunsmithing.
Factory Tikka magazines won't work with the TIMBR Core. When you add an MDT CORE bottom metal to this stock, it transitions your rifle to use AICS-pattern magazines, which gives you more magazine options and better compatibility across different platforms and capacities.
Laminate construction is created by layering wood under pressure, which provides superior resistance to warping and environmental shifts compared to solid wood. This means your zero stays consistent across temperature and humidity changes that might affect a solid walnut stock. The laminate comes in green and grey finishes and maintains the same precision bedding and ergonomic features as the walnut version.
