Any boltaction rifle will shoot 1 1/2 MOA. If it won't do 1/2 that, it should be traded off to someone you dislike.
All my Remington 700s shoot 1/2 MOA or better right out of the box. What happened to that 700 270 that shot 3" groups? LIAR None of your remingtons can run with a box stock Tikka

I am throwing the total BULLSH!T flag. Swampy. I have a background not only as an armorer on a [bleep] load of weapon systems, including remingtons, but as the guy who runs the bolt guns in bad places. Every .gov/.mil M24 that comes from the custom shop at Remington cannot/does not expect to be 1/2moa gun. These are built from the ground up,custom. Yet your factory sporters are all 1/2 moa guns? You have zero credibility. Period. Wow.

It's fairly common for a Model 700 to shoot 3 shot one hole groups at 100 yards. At least it is for me. I guess you just have to be able to shoot.

You could probably take shooting lessons at a local range.

Laffin', you're too easy.
No need for shooting lessons here. At your age it's probably too late but you might be able to develop some basic skills if you tried. Tighten up those big ol' groups a little, maybe....

Well maybe it was the Remington ammo that made my son's Tikka shoot so well. Perhaps you use Finnish Lapua ammo in your model 700's and that is why they all shoot 1/2MOA?

They may have a nice instructor that could get you off on the right foot.

Maybe one that could show me how to azz-shoot a dink from a golf cart?
No, I'd have to come down to your rest home for someone to show me that.

If they'll give you a pass from the asylum come on down.

Since I "run the asylum" (with no walls), I'm forced to deal with the mentally challenged on a daily basis. When I take my vacations I would rather spend them with my family or actual hunters.....
Thanks for the invite, though. If I ever wind up at a K9 function in your AO, I'll bring my Montana along and show you how to shoot. Hell, to be fair I might even bring a 700 that actually shoots well under MOA as well.

I would skip the Tikka and get an original model A7. Swap in a steel 85 shroud and buy an extra magazine.
Good to go and you can make the mag feed from the top down.

All this tikka talk makes me want to buy one...I like that fluted barrel lightweight they sell at Sportsmens warehouse. All it needs is the aluminum bolt shroud and I am happy. What I don't understand is how the hell people are breaking the factory plastic shrouds or what difference it makes anyway. I mean really, the bolt shroud is a non stressed part that's only there for looks. The rifle will function without the damn thing. My older Tikka 595 and 695 appear to have the same shrouds as the new T-3's and neither have so much as a crack after 11 years of use.

What happened to that 700 270 that shot 3" groups? I wouldn't know since I've never even seen one that shot over 1 MOA. I will send you mine then. It's a tomato stake. And don't give me that crap about not being able to shoot. I can get a smaller group at 100yds with irons on a .375H&H than that remmy can with a 14x Leupold on it. The chamber is cut completely crooked. The rifling is missing on one side of the throat for 1/2 inch, and not cut at all on the other side. And yes, I do have a borescope and know how to use it.

Looks a little better than a T3. One piece shroud holds the spring and other chit together, it's not a cover.
