Finally, My Tikka CTR in 308!

[RobMcKay]

Quick snap. Got it to the range today for some handloads and a sight in. Love it and added a few bits and pieces on it. At the moment, life is complete

 

[rhino62]

what scope do you have on it?

 

[RobMcKay]

its a US Optics with EREK elevation turret.

 

[Shabazz]

Where did you get the extra mag? Nice setup btw.

 

[JayCarver]

Nice bit of kit you have there sir. Well done!

 

[kc34]

[Kosmic]

Nice rifle and nice picture.

 

[.22LRGUY]

Wicked set-up!

 

[Crashman]

Well done! Nice rifle, still waiting for mine! Lucky I have other rifles to keep me occupied for the time being.

 

[ZUKA]

Great! You know how to spend money wisely. My CTR in 308 is going to the range today!

 

[Rickster66]

Congrats!

 

[ZUKA]

[Father Hood]

Thats an awesome pic and setup. Love it!! If only they made that model with a long action caliber bottom metal and mag.. dang.

Looks like they weigh just over 7 pounds from what I have read, with the medium weight barrel only 20 inches long how does it balance say compared to a composite stock 24-26 inch sporter weight barrel? Does it feel much heavier? I am considering one for a carry around hunting rifle but don't want to get to heavy.

I bought one for the exact same purpose. Walking around on the range with it (from the 300m - 0m) it really doesn't feel too heavy. I just bought a limbsaver recoils pad for it but haven't installed it yet. I'll be curious to see how well it works. I won't be installing any muzzle brake, I have no plans on blowing out my eardrums while hunting.

I plan to have one re barreled to a 16" light profile fluted barrel specifically for the purpose of hunting, a 24-26" barrel is way too long for my hunting needs in a 308

Still waiting for my 260 Rem.

Anyone seen any 260 from CDN sellers?

 

[Jafacakes]

Nice! I pick mine up tomorrow ��
A couple of questions,
1. What bipod is that? And did you need to do any modifications to install?
2. What brand of flash suppressor?
3. Oh and where did you get 1. And 2.

Cheers
