Yeah, but that bad hummer is really set up for a righty 
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I have no pictures, but my Tikka T3 stainless 30-06 is a pure tack driver shooting Sierra 150 BTSP Gamekings over 52.0 grains of IMR-4064!

the worst thing about tikka is beretta is in charge of them. What a terrible company for customer service. I have owned 3 tikkas and all of them have shot .5 moa on the first outting to the range, in fact I have a 30-06 that averaged .5moa with 4 different bullets and 3 different powders. thats the great thing about tikkas is they just shoot everything well. Its really too bad they don't offer a 6.5-284 in a varmint weight barrel or a 7 mag in a varmint barrel.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

This isn't that all tricked out, but it's a Tikka T3 Lite .243 Win with a Hinterland Shooting Supplies (Australia) aftermarket bolt shroud and bolt handle. It took me about 30 min to put it together (I'm mechanically inept). I also installed a Limbsaver recoil pad. I'm using DNZ Game Reaper mounts (Medium) with a Swaro Z6 2-12x50 TDS. This is how it was shooting on its first day out yesterday. No scope adjustment whatsoever after mounting and bore sighting. It really likes 95 gr. Fusions. Eric ![[Linked Image]](http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss275/ebm1973/IMG_6054_zpsd42865a7.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss275/ebm1973/IMG_6057_zpsdb3446d7.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss275/ebm1973/IMG_5965_zpsce944899.jpg) Very nice, Eric! My first .243 was a Tikka and I still have it. If you are bringing that one in a few weeks we should feed it some of my 85 grain tsx hand loads and see how it likes them. I can always load you up a few boxes if it shoots them as good as mine does.

...Until then, I'll just keep shooting my model 70's and Ruger M77's...I've had the pleasure of handling a few Tikka's at the store and blackdog1's and they are damn nice shooting machines. You guys have some nice Tikka's. My Ruger m77's and Win model 70's take a lot of work to make them shoot like a Tikka ;):![[Linked Image]](http://s1180.photobucket.com/user/chiefbsa/media/006_zpsa9b6eb42.jpg.html)
