Tikka T3x Battue

Good advice.

Under 300m theres no real difference between 308 and 3006.

So go 308. Shorter, lighter, less recoil.

Congrats. Give the barrel a good cleaning and with the Tikka barrels that is all that is needed from you. After that just shoot and enjoy and keep a regular barrel cleaning regiment.

Aside from my custom handloads the Federal 150 and 180gr PowerShok blue box ammo gave me the MOA accuracy at 100yards.

Wasn't going to pay retail price for a synthetic compact stock and nothing coming on EE I ended up removing 1/2" from the butt and the rifle shoulders really nice for me now. The stock LOP was 1/2" to long for me.

Enjoy your new rifle!

IIRC all the info you need in regards to sight adjustment is in the manual that came with your rifle. It's been a while since I looked at it but if memory serves me right, you can adjust the rear sight for elevation only. If windage needs to adjusted, then that is to do with the front sight and is something you have to send your gun into Stoeger to correct, as it should be just fine out of the box.

In addition to DG response I found my sight was perfect out 80 yards with either 150 or 180gr Federal blue box ammo. I put the FO POA where I want POI.

At 80 yards the FO covers an 8" paper plate.

Scratch my previous Post I just took a good look at the sight and noticed that there are infact 2 screws in the top. I am assuming the top one is what holds the sight on and the bottom is the adjustment? Tighten or loosten the screw that is way down in the bottom hole for height adjustment? How do you do windage?

Read the manual that came with it. It tells you how to adjust. Mine s factory set at 100. Pretty dead on.

Is there a dealer that stocks these Masi quick detach scope mounts or do they have to be ordered directly from their website? Thanks

Order directly from MaSi. Its pricey but worth it.

It shows out of stock right now though so you might have to write them to see what's up with that.

So go 308. Shorter, lighter, less recoil.

That would make sense we’re it not for the fact that tikkas are all built on long actions. Same length, same weight, might as well go for an 06.

 

[Mike112288]

Long action. Might as well go 30-06 or 300 magnum.

I have the 30-06 as well being it was a long action anyway. Enjoy your rifle and good choice...

I bought .308 solely because of the tiny marginal less recoil, muzzle flash and tiny bit quieter. I am super happy with it! Love the rifle
