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

You spelled your own name wrong.
Just sayin....

Close but no cigar. Shoulda laid off that 4 shot. 6x M8 of course.

There isn't a situation where I would choose to use a Rem 700 over a T3 anymore. The T3 action doesn't need to be squared, bolt handle doesn't need to be welded/screwed on, trigger is better, barrel is better, action is smoother.

Careful, you'll awake the natives.

The Tikka 595/695 is/was the same way.

So you've never actually done it... but you've come close... once. That'd be par for the course around here.

Pretty damn far sight from "too many to count"... but maybe there's an AutoSum function for that...

Oh, I thought you were saying it couldn't be done. You being such a Tikka fan and all.

"Close but no cigar" means almost. Like you almost thought you were going to tell me something.


But I'm sure everyone is waiting to hear all about your stuff.

You saying it can be done.... just not by you? Maybe by someone who's a little better shot than you.... because your picture above is Oh So Close.... it's only about 25% too large... but we don't want to get into that again... it might cost you $15 this time. "Close enough" seems to be your motto... and completely contrary to your sig-line....

I've shot a few groups in the sub-2" at 500 range... one of them on video, and it's posted on the YouTube channel... but I'm not the one spouting off about "too many to count"... with 6x glass.

Yep. I've got a 595 Master Sporter that is spectacular.

Where did I say "too many to count"?

What rigging? Sporterweight Tikka 6x? Sub 2" and 1/2 MOA are different, no? 1/2 MOA suffice. Yeah, "25%". That's 1/2". At 500 yards. 505 to be exact. But it's 1/2". 1/2" on an off the rack "hunting" rifle. For hunting.

But fun to shoot. And it was a 30-06.

Maybe re-read the sig line. Kinda like a diminishing returns thing.


You loose $$ on Atlanta or something? Panties all in a wad today.

You didn't... Trythan did... then you chimed in with "I almost did it once"... well bully for you. I almost phuucked Ms. Colorado once... but alas, all I got was "close"... does that count?

That 1/2" is still 1/2"... I didn't make the criteria here... Trythan did... maybe you should be the one rereading this thread.

Nope... rig in the vid was a full-on custom 6.5x47 wearing a 5.5-22 Nightforce. That gun shot a lot of sub-MOA groups at 500... but only a few sub-2" groups... that's kinda the point.

You might run into a sub-2" 500 yard group here and there with a 6x glassed sporter... but they certainly ain't the norm.... especially for a guy who can't remember how to spell his own name, and has been shooting "long range" for about as long as the last Kardashian relationship lasted (again... not you). Kinda like me occasionally running into a nice shiney dime with flexible morals, low standards, and a little buzz.

Sure, blind squirrel and the nut thing. How much $$ you think is wrapped up in your 6.5X47 custom?


That's kinda my point. Plus the schitty .460 BC Scenar loaded at granny gear.

It was a pricey rig... and only shot a CH better than the CTR (and was worse in the cold)... that's why it went down the road. We're making the same point about gear... just from different sides.

Ok, who's up for a challenge?

500 yards
4x 3 shot groups
sporter weight rifle
6x scope
Winner gets to almost bang Ms. Colorado

No need to bring Tanner into this.

Holy schit that's funny.

Hahaha!

"almost"

A guy wears a dress for Halloween one time....

Tanner

Lady Tan Tan....

Was it a girls dress?
