chrisso--Those Tikkas seem to shoot pretty darn good no matter what continent you are on. If the 39 gr. Sierras shoot as good for you as they do for me, you will really enjoy using them. I reload all my own, so I can't give an opinion about how well the off-the shelf 39 gr. Sierra ammo will work. Give us a report when you start using it.

Thanks for the photos and welcome to the 204 Ruger Board.

Nice Fox pic's Chrisso....I just started shooting the Federal loaded V-max 39 grain Sierra Blitz Kings and they are grouping very well out of my CZ model 527 "Varmint",I think they will work well for You also! :chin: ;)
