Bedding a Tikka..3 degree slope?

[topround]

I'm having a Tikka T1x bedded in a Boyds stock. I was warned that this could cause problems because the action of the Tikka has a 3 degree slope and bedding could cause alignment issues and cause problems feeding.
Anyone have any insight into this?
Has anyone bedded a Tikka and experience feeding problems?

Thx in Advance

Well since its bedded all you gotta do is try it. Ive never paid attention to a 3deg slope. I doubt youd ever see that in function

I’ve made custom stocks for and pillar bedded 9 or ten Tikkas and never had a problem. Never did a T1x, tho.

Interesting
I just bought a trigger spring and bottom metal from Mountain Tactical and he warned me of the issues with bedding Tikkas. This is my first Tikka and my gunsmith, Bob White, said he has bedded many Tikkas with no issues. I just figured I'd ask the collective group here if they had any negative experiences with bedding these actions. The T1x is the same design as the T3, both incorporating the same 3 degree slope.

Thanks to all

I’ll add this: If you gobb too much bedding compound under any action and don’t squeeze it out, you’re going to have problems with the bottom metal fit/magazine fit. Let’s say your internal magazine box is an 1 1/4 tall. It touches your bottom metal and fits in the bottom of your action. Then you add an 1/8” too much bedding. You’re going to have issues.

If the bedding is done correctly, you'll have no issues with the three degree deal. Bob is very experienced and has been doing quality work for decades.

Good shootin' -Al

the T1x magazine well is attached to the action (unlike the T3) so there's no way to misalign it

Where is the 3 degree slope on a Tikka?

I had the same question but I’m just a dummy hack screwing up guns every chance I get.

I have bedded my 3 Tikkas with no issues. Guess helps to not know too much but just blunder forward.

I've beded lots tikkas.from 55s to t3s and probably most of them in between with no problems.

Thanks to everyone.
Seems the consensus is there should be no problems which makes me wonder why Mountain Tactical warned me about it? Perhaps being overcautious that his products might not function well if bedded wrong?
I feel like I was a little misdirected, but not on purpose.
Thanks for all your help.
Looking forward to shooting it.
