Yep, just a regular old Tipped Match King.
I have had a couple that have passed through on does. I try to avoid shoulders and go straight for the vitals. The insides are typically quite mushy....

. . . if Tikka would come out with a 1-8" 22 Creedmoor, I'd buy one. Find a T3/T3x in .223 with the 1:8 and punch it out. Easy peasy . . . Or better yet find one of the 1-8 22-250 Tikka made and punch it out... that way you don’t have to worry about messing with the BF Thank you, but the point for me is to not spend a dime more than buying a factory rifle. To have to pay for a factory rifle than throw a few hundred more at it, just doesn't interest more anymore these days.

I've become quite the opposite... There's not much that I can buy off the rack that I find interesting... Sure wouldn't hold my breath on a factory offering any time soon, and I absolutely wouldn't do without one while I waited.

Dave, Thanks, it’s the 3-12x50 P3 with fixed parallax. Weighs 25 oz. found it on eBay one day, it wasn’t very popular. I’ve dropped it and dented both the objective bell and the ocular but it still works great.

I had one with the P3. They were set up parallax free at 250 meters The thing was a monster in the dark. I liked it well enough but ended up trading up to a 5-25 PMII. Did a deal with Europtics. Id take the 3-12 anywhere. The 5-25 not so much. Just a load..

Dave I was set up in a gas line cut away and about 45 minutes after the sun came up I saw a doe come out to my left. I didn’t know how far at the time I just knew it wasn’t over 300 so I held right on and shot. She leg kicked and took off but not very fast. 90 seconds later another one came in the exact spot as the first, I stopped her, shot and she leg kicked and bulldozed on her chest out of sight. I ranged after both shots and I saw it was 250. The first one only ran 35 yards and toppled. The second one ended up bulldozing for 20 yards. Both shots right behind the shoulder. Bloodied her this morning. 250 yards with a 75ELDM... terminal damage was devistating! Nice.....what's the muzzle velocity with those? With 52 rounds down the barrel these are launching at 3450 FPS. I guess I should expect a small gain in velocity at around 100 rounds? At least that’s what I hear.
