First 4 shots with new Tikka T3 .308 win

I shot my Tikka T3 SS/camo fluted barrel in .308 win today. The range at my house is 150 yds. I bore sighted the rifle and the first round hit left of the bullseye. I made scope adjustments and fired a 3 shot group. One ragged hole! Shooting Winchester 150 gr factory loads. 0.39" at 150 yds.
I'm happy and done for a while. Still working up hand loads for my other new Tikkas in .243 and 7mm-08. The are shooting sub MOA but not as good as the 308. I love these rifles. Light, quality made, accurate, and have great triggers.

I did something very similar with my Browning X-Bolt last year. It's just nice when things work like you want them too...

I'd lay in a supply of that load and call it good- nothing wrong with that at all.

7mm-08 Rem groups at 150 yds.

That's pretty darn sweet! I can see the grin on your face from here! It might be there for a while. Those Tikka's do shoot.

Yep, that'll do.

The .243 shoots 0.74" groups. I'm still working on hand loads for it. I really like all three rifles.

I love the x bolts too. Came very close to getting one in .308. Flipped a coin and got another Tikka. LOL !

Very nice!

Very nice. The Tikkas are shooters. Dang!

Do not mess with it, touch it or modify it in any way. You are done!!!!!! Great shooting. "remember if it ain't broke, don't touch it"..

Nice shooting. A new Tikka is near the top of my bucket list of new rifles.

That's the way
aha aha
I like it.....
