Target Tikka 6.5x55

[boomer2]

Just picked up a new Tikka T3 lite in 6.5x55 yesterday. Went to the range today with Federal Factory 140 grn soft point loads. 3 bullets in bulls eye @ 100 yds. Went to 200 yds and shot 3 in lower left (about 1 3/8" outside to outside). Adjusted for height and shot 3 group upper left, about the same. This is one sweet rig and am interested to see what handloads will do.

It looks like you have a great lightweight hunting rig.

A lot of shooters are having similiar experiences with their Tikka T3's right out of the box. It's kind of nice buying a rifle you don't have to #### with and spend extra to get that kind of performance. Remington and others take NOTE!!

Tikka makes an excellent out the box product. I love the 6.5 swede as well.

Hand loads will be sweet.

Congrats on the new rifle.

Look at you trying to ! x-posting on both my post and his. I wonder who's jealous.

I'll be very happy if my mine shoots like his.

Nice, hope mine does as well, ordered a Tikka Hunter deluxe in 6.5x55. Seems most people say these Tikka shoot great right out of the box

Very nice groups, I've been toying with the idea of one myself!
