Started out about 1.5 MOA. After 200-ish rounds started shooting like ths. T3 light hunter stainless 3006. Did nothing but dremmel a mm from the stock to float the barrel.

168g tsx, 57g H4350 if memory serves.

They do shoot! I played with with my 260 some yesterday and it continues to impress.

I'm surprised it took that long to settle in. Both mine shot groups similar to that one in the photo the first day out of the box.

I hear that a lot. I assumed the groups were due to internet embellishment. I was satisfied with the initial 1.5 for an inexpensive (sort of), lite weight rig. I am most impressed with sub minute situation. Wish I bought this rifle 15 years ago. Could have saved a bunch of time/$$$.

My first 3 shot group with my 22-250 was all three touching. This with a buddy's handloads for his rifle, no workup at all for mine. The first group with my 25-06 was with some handloads I had loaded for another rifle. Could cover that group with a nickel. My Tikka's really make me question my judgment in buying some of the more expensive rifles in my safe!

And the really amazing thing is, most of them can do that, or really close to that, with at least 2 factory loads

Yet the haters are gonna hate. Then along comes the Tuger and its the greatest thing since sliced bread. I've been monkeying with 50's, 52's, 75's, 80's, H335, Varget, RL15.


Take your pick. They all shoot.


But, that plastic bottom "metal" and mags really suck. I've broken 4 trigger guards, had 3 mags that wouldn't feed, and sent it to a smith for a trigger job. Then had to bed it in an after market stock.

Or maybe I torqued the action screws, bolted on a scope, took two turns off the trigger and started shooting. Can't remember.

Last Saturday I shot a 5 shot 4" group at 1048 yards(in competition) with a Tikka Tactical 300 WM, I put a YoDave spring in the trigger $10 and a steel recoil lug $20.I also have a T3 Varmint in 223, its a pretty good shooter too.

I am in the Hater group

I bought a Tikka Superlite 270 Winchester
Just to give one a try.

Thoroughly disgusted

I had to spend about 30 minutes to get the crisp 2 3/4 pound trigger down to a crisp 1.5 pound pull.

Damn thing with a Leupold VX1 3-9x40 and a 5 round Magazine loaded is really heavy (about 7 pounds !

To make matters even worse the best mine will shoot so far is .75 inch 3 Shot groups with Factory Federal Fusion 130 Grains
Damn Hornady Whitetail 130 Grain will barely manage .85 3 shot groups !

Did I mention the crappy ultra smooth bolt ?

Yea I am a hater
Hating the fact that it took me so long to get one !!

Dammit. I forgot to torque the action screws. I knew there was a reason I couldn't get one of mine to shoot better than .75".

You can't expect accuracy from a $1100 rifle!

The first thing your going to want to do is float the barrel and bed the action.

Second...check to make sure your scope base screws are not to long and bottoming out.

Oh wait!!!!

Sorry!! Wrong thread grin

Yes the Finlanders know how to make 'em. I'm working with a couple of Sako's now with a third enroute. Yes photos forthcoming in the appropriate categories.

You do realize that Talley is a completely different company than Kimber - right? Kimber has zero control of Talley supplying screws to long.

If a particular Kimber rifle took 200 rds to start shooting good, there'd have been 6 threads started about it by 4 different owners before it broke moa.

I owe you a beer! I just ordered 2 for my 7mm-08. Maybe new mags will tighten the groups up a bit.
