A few days ago I asked about the muzzle break on this rifle. Well I finally got a chance to shoot it yesterday and needless to say I was pretty impressed. The yard is flooded from some recent rain so I resorted to shooting with the bipod rested on our sawmill. Not very stable but better than offhand.
The first two shots were just off paper 3 high 6 left. You can see where it nicked the paper just above the brass.
I move down 3 and over 6 and fired three more. Those the the three at the center.
I then fired 4 more at the lower left target. I felt like I might have pulled two of them. But at about 85-90 yards from an unstable position it got me excited about the rifle. I can't wait to get down on the ground and shoot off the bipod.
All rounds fired were some 155 gr Nosler Custom Competition loaded with Varget (originally loaded for my Savage PC). I'm really liking this Tikka and can't wait to do some load development with it.
