I just bought my first "real" rifle a week ago. A Tikka T3 in .308 Win. It's got a laminated wood stock; stainless, free-floating, sporter barrel, from the local Gander Mtn. An absolute real beauty it is too.. . I topped it off with a Leupold VX-II 4-12XAO scope. My very first time in the range last weekend, my best 3 shot group with Black Hills 168gr match ammo was 1.5" @100 yds, after adjusting for the first flier (I was mopping the barrel with copper solvent every 3 rounds or so)... So I know this rifle can definitely shoot better than me. I've only shot my 10/22 and muzzleloader before this
I do have a trigger question about the T3. I love the normal trigger action, very crisp, light < 3 lbs, no overtravel, etc. I understand that to use the "set trigger", I have to push the trigger forward first..? Now, this might sound really silly, but my trigger won't move forward no matter what I do :banghead: . I don't want to damage the action/trigger so I've left off doing anything with it. Am I not understanding the instructions..? Is there some sort of adjustment needed? Do I need to remove the trigger assembly to "enable" use of the set trigger..? Any help would be greatly appreciated
