Purchased a Tikka Compact in 7mm-08 for the wife to use this Fall. Scoped it up yesterday and got it to the range today.
Nice small, handy rifle. This if the first Tikka I have ever shot, let alone owned. Nice little rifle for the money.
After boresighting and adjusting at 25 yards for the first 5 shots, # 6 and 7 were pretty much on top of each other at 100.
Ended up easily hitting steel at 300 yards right afterwards.
All-in-all, a nice little rifle. Perhaps a little too light as it snaps pretty decently and hit the wife a bit harder than she would have liked. Tomorrw I need to hunt up some lighter ammo to try and ease the recoil for her. This might finally force me to set up and start reloading. Any suggestions for a reduced recoil load?
This is going to be for a cow elk this fall, but ultimately be an all-around rifle.
