After firing 20 shots, I decided that would have to do for my break-in. Not the expected breaking in process but I know that given the controversy over the whole issue of breaking in barrels, I decided that half-way will do for me

After cleaning it 5 times, 1shot, 2shot, 5shots, 10shots, i then was eager to see how it performed with grouping. And wow was I surprised, Tikkas have a reputation for shooting well, and as I walked up to the target knowing that all 3 shots were confidently fired, wow was I impressed. Its true, they can shoot!!

Just to add, I hope these photos are helpful for those looking for a nice 204 ruger! The Tikka is unbelievably nice to shoot. Extemely smooth bolt manipulation, very clean breaking trigger, nice feel...
Also that night, the day I picked it up, I went out with a mate spotlighting, 5 foxes we sighted, 5 foxes we put down, dead
