First day out with my 308 T3x CTR

[TheM4chef]

So finally got to hit the range with my new T3x ctr that I picked up in December. The rifle has:
yodave t3 trigger spring installed on its lightest setting. Talley 20moa rail
Miculec break
TPS steel rings
Sightron SIII 8-32×56 lrmoa

I broke the rifle in using my load developed for my r700
168gr Hornady hpbt match @ 2.800"
44.5gr varget
CCI large rifle primer
Norma brass.
Rounds were fire formed and neck sized to my remmy but chambered and bolt closed with no resistance.

Well all I can say is I love this rifle and am glad I got it over my Remington. This group is only 3 shots so it doesn't really count but the 5 and 10 shot groups opened it up to still be sub moa even at 200 yards.

Only issue I had was the mag dropping out after most shots but learned it was a easy fix that now has locked up the mag solid. Now just have to wait a couple more weeks for the ESS chassis to arrive apparently!

Sure looks to be a shooter from what your saying/showing. Tikka's are definitely a good bet for an accurate rifle and it appears you're doing your part too.

A pic of your rifle would be nice...

Nice looking group, stands up to the tikka sub moa guarantee. I can't wait to get my CTR out, threw it on a B&C stock. Haven't shot it yet.

M4, how do you like that brake?

Well it's the only 308 break I've used. It's loud for the neighbor's that's for sure but it works fairly well I'd say specially for the 75.00 or so I paid for it. I'm still tempted to pick up a Lantac dragon since I love my 556 version so much.

I will be needing one for my CTR eventually, but I won't be hunting with a brake.

Love the CTR , I've one in 308 and one in 260 bot shoot just like that out to 500 yards (sub MOA ), this break a seekins precision

Nice rifle. Cant't wait to get mine in 6.5.

I bagged a buck this past fall with my CTR in .308. Not too heavy to hunt with, and it's been spot on for me out to 600m. Haven't stretched it further but I couldn't be happier with it.

I was sitting next to him, I hate that brake.

I ordered one from irunguns just like yours. Unbelievable what a run around it is to get Tikka rifles in this country. Could not get a CTR in 260 ANYWHERE.

But that trip I got to be next to your Dragon��

Sorry to hear it's been a struggle to find one I grabbed mine of the EE for what I believe was a steal for a new unfired rifle with extras

Turnaround is fair play.
