New Tikka Rifle

[Nosferatu]

Those were the last three shots of the day, and I jerked the damned trigger on the first one (on the left), but made up for it on the last two.

If anyone is going to be a jerk to a trigger, it's going to be you!

Would love to have a Tikka.

I hear they are still accepting applications.

I hear lots of people complaining about the recoil of the Tikkas, I went out and put 20 rounds through mine of various handloads and it didn't bother me at all.

These are the same people who take a dump in a public restroom, then complain to management about the smell.

Was that the rifle you had for sale for a while? Putting it to use, eh? I bet it does indeed pack a wallop!

Yes there isn't anything else out there like it besides the Sako Kodiak

I was able to get out and sight in the Tikka 30-06 this weekend. 5 @ 100 yards and I'm very happy with the performance.

You sure you want to do that? They are kinda a boring rifle. The stock is plastic so you can't cry when you scratch it. The stainless does not rust so you have no excuse to clean it each night after hunting. They are inherently accurate so you can't spend a lot of time trying to improve hand loads. I could go on.

...

And if ya miss ya can't blame the gun.

Just wait until you handload for it, you'll shrink those big groups right down.

Update on Tikka. I bought another one in 308, A T3X compact from Buds. Can't wait to get it.
