Very nice set-up! Looks very well put together. Those rings put that scope at the perfect height!!!! Let us know how it shoots. -Dan

Nice. Those Tikkas are nice guns and you get alot for the money, actions are slick as glass too. I have a T3 Lite in 25-06 and love it.

Well I broke her in today using some loads I had sitting around.
I haven't built any for the rifle yet but this is looking OK.

These two groups from 100 yards, 5 shot strings, 1st shot is a fouling shot (off a bit) given I was finishing up the break in.



I got sloppy with group #2

Not too shabby for a relativly inexpensive out of the box gun. Its just a Sako with plain clothes on....

Like I said I love my Tikka (OK my 15 y/o son says it's his), anyway he took his first buck last year with it and we like it.

Enjoy it, always fun to get a new one...

Very nice looking setup there Spot shooter. It looks like you will have an excellent shooting rifle there. My old Tikka Master Sporter in 22-250 has been a super accurate shooter right out of the box. Did you get a Tikka sew-on patch with your rifle? I got one and here is what it looks like:



It represents two woodpeckers. Why does Tikka use woodpeckers to represent their rifles? Because woodpeckers keep hitting the same hole over, and over, and over!!!

'Tikka' means 'woodpecker' in Finnish. But I like your explanation better!
