Good Stuff!

@FOTIS , Beyond some traditional handguns and some 22lr's, I don't use iron sights for any big game. Even some of my semi-auto pistols and revolvers have some kind of optic on them. I have taken a few pd's beyond a 100 yards with a S&W 44 Mag, using irons, but that is the exception to the rule

No arguments there. A 257 Roberts AI was my first rifle

Used to use them-I don't any longer for game. For me, they were inconsistent in performance...Sometimes opening up and performing well, and sometimes penciling.

I would go Creed and happy. Simple and available-Easy Peasy!

At those distances, even a reduced load will have enough impact velocity to perform. Since she is recoil sensitive I would consider 22 Creed or 22GT, 6 GT or 6mm Creed, and the 25 Creedmoor. Depends what is minimum caliber where she will be hunting

Never tried them, but they should work great.

Yeah Baby!!!! (y)

I think...Norma makes Nosler brass. It is probably a little softer in the head than Lapua, but it is good brass.

@Bull67 , Welcome! Sounds like a nice rifle. Pictures? Barrel contour? 1-9 Twist? 284 Win is one of my favorites. I love the 284 Win family of cartridges as well, as I have the 6.5-284, 25-284, and 6-284 in fast twist specialty pistols as well.

Tikka's tend to shoot real good, and your is doing just fine-Good shooting.

Several Sunday's ago, Glenn and went out and I shot the 6 GT and my center-grip 7mm SAUM XP's at 300, 510ish, 6650ish and at 1011 yards. Glenn shot a couple of his XP's too. I was very pleased with the accuracy of both XP's

It is just my best guess based on his first post...I could be completely wrong though

It is a nice office high back chair.
