The Tikka emblem and decals on the side of the stock, are these factory, or did you have them installed? And if so, by whom?
 
These are fascias, not cheap vinyl decals, printed from below so very resistant, made by me to my work. I am graphic designer and I work in a silk screen factory. When you see the rifle in real, without the reflections of the picture, it looks like it's tikka factory made !! I have a few more. :)

For me I choose the PST because the FFP option and the reticule, but it's personal..... You also have an illuminate reticule, and two tactical turrets.

At 24x the lens is a little bit ''fuzzy" but OK, the turrets are very crispy, and very accurate when you return to 0!!! Sorry for my english, I speak french!!! :) The FFP is a must, less conversion!!

Very quickly, the rifle is very good, I have only shooting 40 rounds to retrieve the cases for reloading. Without too much trouble, I group band 4 to 5 inches to 500 yards! With commercial roads! :)
 
Nice rifle! Maybe the break does'nt really help for the recoil, I've never fired a .223 before... But it's definetly L-O-U-D !!!! And it gives an
awesome look :D
Haha very fun rifle to shoot, it have a promising accuray too!

Nice build Skodguitariste :)

I have the same rifle with the same brake.

It will 'one hole ' 75gr A-Maxes at 100m.

The brake is not really there for recoil, but settles the rifle in the bags better, therefore it is more accurate than with out, if your bench technique is a bit off.

Do not notice any increase in noise with hearing protection on.
 
Thanks guys!!! For the noise....... wooowwwwwww, the noise really increased, I made a jump, my truck was right next to me, about 10 feet, and the sound return was brutal for a small .223 !!! :) I put on the way my hearing protectors.
 
Hey Skodguitarist, did you had the chance to reload your ammo with the bullets that you ordered? Can't wait to see how it will do in your rifle!

A+

No, not yet, I will receive my CCI primers tomorrow, and the bullets and powder should arrive this week !! I will post my tests for sure !!
 
I receive my bullets, I wait for my Varget powder and my Berger 77 grains OTM, and I start reload and testing!!! Yessss!!
