Just wanted to show off my new (to me) tikka

Picked up this T3x Hunter recently in .308 and wanted to try a few factory loads on my home 100-yard range.

It took a bump in shipping, the Leupold Freedom 3-9 was about 12" left. I'd seen videos of guys bore sighting so I gave it a try and nailed it! I spent a lot of the Remingtons getting close, so switched to the 180's and was pretty happy with the group (that's 3 shots in 2 holes). Same with the copper, I'm sure I pushed the one left a bit (I'm a novice shooter) but the other hole is 2 shots. I went back to the Remingtons after a few more clicks of windage and pointed at the bottom of the grid. That group is the tightest 3 shots I've ever made, 1.5" high at 100 and dead center. Stoked!

Not much you can't hunt with a setup like that! Good shooting, looks like fun!

Awesome. I got a tikka after years of using other rifles. Makes me wonder why I waited so long.

With the right reloads/match grade ammunition you will be able to easily shoot 5 shots thru 1 hole at 100/very tight cloverleafs at the minimum

Nice rifle. If you are looking for something inexpensive to try, the Hornady American Whitetail 150s shot the best out of a Sako I have here. It has the same barrel I believe. Did a great job on a nice big buck as well.

Thank you! I believe the local place had some of that in stock too. I'm heading there this morning to grab some more while it's $25 off. Seems a good time to stock up!

Those Hunters with the walnut stock are a nice upgrade over the Tupperware. I have one in 223.

just feels so much more solid, and classic for the classic cartridges.
