Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting TIKKA Long range build????

Took my Tikka out spring bear hunting off sleds....I didn't have a tag due to getting one in September so I brought my 6.5 along in case we saw some wolves. Anyway toward the end of the day I decided to do some plinking since its easy to set and retrieve targets on snowmobiles.

I suggested we try to hit a folgers can at 550 and my buddy's were like no way will we hit it. So I set up a couple A-arm guards that were falling off my sled any way at 410 and 470. Let one buddy shoot 2 at 410 and the other buddy 2 at 470. Couldn't see any reaction to the hits but a quick zip over there yielded roughly both of them shot roughly 1" at 410 and 470...after that they wanted to skoot the folgers can to 800+ which we did

410 on the left and 470 on the right:


Of course when it shoots 5 shot groups like this at 100 yards its not all the suprising
