Got a new Tikka, break in and range report

The ankle bracelet keeps me close to home.

I thought it just kept you away from schools.

I really like my Tikka 223.
It hasn't had but maybe 40 rounds through it,but the grouping is very nice at 100yds.
I ran the snake through every 10 rounds.
IIRC, the stock bolt torque is 35 LBS. Don't quote me, I'd have to dig out the manual!!
I read somewhere, if the torque is above spec, anomalies arise regarding accuracy.
Mine has PST 6-24x50 in the Strike Industries Low rings. The bell is about 1/8" off the barrel.

Nice shootin'. Thanks for sharing your killer recipe too.

Well, swive me with a rope!

You need to get out more.

Perhaps there's a hint there, why the rifle's moniker is "Nutsack" ?

All of my Tikkas get 45 inch/lbs on the stock bolts.
