0.25 MOA right out of the box!

Very impressive: 0.34 MOA but we're looking for 0.25 MOA aggregate, out of box ;)
By the way, I owned a Steyr SSG69 way back in the 90s and it was superbly accurate (0.5 - 0.75 MOA)
 
We’ll see what happens when I start working up a load for it...still have a pile of GMM lying about so I haven’t had the need...

I will certainly report back should I reach Nirvana

On a side note I have hit a couple of high .2 moa's with the Tac-A1 but that I think was just bullsh*t luck and a solid handload. .mid .4 to.5 moa all day long with factory Hornady 140gr ELD-M.

Sure didn't happen with the boxes of 140's and 147's I tried, just for the hell of it, to see if maybe there was any truth to the stuff I've seen about Hornady Match ammo. The 140's had a nice SD, 8.6. The 147's were 30.1, and a box of cheapie Herter's outshot both @ 7/8MOA. Fed premium 130 Berger worked best, about 5/8MOA. I just tried them to get something to shoot with as my stuff is in storage at the moment, was not impressed with the Hornady I acquired. But, that's out of a new gun, didn't even turn down the trigger yet, and it was blowing pretty hard. Just that the Hornady was the worst of the lot that day. I never expect much from factory ammo though. Think the OP needs to go read Secrets of the Houston Whs.[/QUOTE]

Not sure why the 140gr Hornady ELD-M's didn't give you .4 to .5 average groups because the TAC A1 can do this everytime and it's been proven many times over. If your not getting these results you should be trying to figure out why...However many factors come into play here like good trigger control, proper breathing techniques, a good scope that's properly mounted and leveled, a good bipod and or benchrest. If you do your part that Tikka will put a smile on your face everytime you retrieve your target.

I tested many rifles , reload a lot of weights and powder types , I do only 308 ,

So far PGW Coyote without any modification is pretty close with 147g FMJ-BT , 43.1gr IMR 4895 Lapua brass , shoots .30 MOA all day long.

I keep buying testing and selling many bolt guns , Rem 5R stainless with custom trigger ,reload ammo , got .44 MOA ,


Ruger bolt action 308 , reload ammo .60 MOA approx

AI AW or L96 way too expensive to touch and test , like a Porsche .

my focus is on 308.

I'm planning to buy and test CADEX 308.

Most PGW COYOTES are not designed to shoot light bullets. Jump the weight up to 168 or higher and im sure ur problem will be solved
 
This blind squirrel found a nut ONCE, shot five into 0.118" with my semi custom Tikka T3 6XC that sits in a McMillan A3, it is a solid .5MOA rifle when I don't drink too much coffee and have a solid night of sleep before hand. Like I said, I did it once when all the stars and planets and other celestial bodies were perfectly aligned, won't happen again either and I am okay with that!

Great shooting but not an out of the box rifle.
 
Here’s a 3 shot group at 100 yards from my Kimber Mountain Ascent 270win shooting Barnes factory 130gr ttsx ammo, I won the rifle and had it bedded and the trigger set at 2.5lbs, shoots pretty good for a factory ultralight rifle shooting factory ammo.
