Would like to mold the T3 into a dual purpose shooter.
Job 1: LR Steel plinker to watch the hits at 600+. Job 2: Whitetail poker from stands/tripods, also to watch hits.
How would you achieve Job 1 and Job 2? Ideas I've kicked around:
-Shoot as is, likely to be plenty accurate for both
<snip> Fire away.
IMO, this is the way to go, although I'm not sure you'll see the hits because the T3 is not a heavy rifle.
Also, I've been a competitive long range handgun and rifle silhouette shooter for over 30 years. Not a great one mind you but OK. If I've learned anything during that time period while getting beat by some of the best shooters in the USA, it's this:
It ain't the arrow, it's the Indian!
BTW, I've owned and shot several T3s, and have friends with many more, and EVERY single one of those Tikkas is a less than MOA rifle with the majority of loads tested.
Pursuit may be, it seems to me, perfect without possession. Robert Kelley Weeks (1840-1876)
