Just got back from Dan Newberry's Bangsteel 1000 yard 2 day class. The Tikka CTR 260 performed admirably. Success out to 1100 yards with Lapua Brass, 37 gr. of varget behind 140 Amax. The gun is much better than the guy behind it in this case.
Nothing fancy at the class but a great experience and a great place to shoot. Dan has excellent knowledge and had everyone hitting steel at long distances. The class was well worth the 10 hour drive. Highly recommend to anyone looking to shoot long range.

I don't know how long the drive would be but you're welcome to shoot steel here any time.
CTR's are pretty uber.

Really nothing special. It was a Weaver grand slam tactical 3-10 from Midway. It was at the suggestion of Dan Newberry from Bangsteel.com None of my current scopes had tactical turrets and this scope does. Scope worked great.

I've met a couple guys at our range that use the Weavers and they track very well.

Are you telling us you actually hit something past 300 yards with "only" 10x?

I still can't believe how much performance the CTR brings to the table for under a Grand. What's the dope on that load at 600 and 1000? I'm guessing it was in the 2600fps ballpark? Doesn't get any ÜBERER than .260 CTR and 10x glass...

My CTR is the tightest shooting POS I have ever owned.

You are almost right on. I think it is just under 2600fps and from 800 to 1100 there is lots of drop. I think it was 10 mil at 1000 but very little recoil and that works for this old shoulder. based on my chart it is 4.2 mil at 600.

A buddy brought out a 308 CTR a couple of days ago. Pulled the stock, adjusted the trigger, mounted a scope and shot the 185gr Juggernaut load from the other guns. Easily the most for the least....

Cerakote is gayer than Tikka.
