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!

Here's one of several customs that I've built on Tikka T3 actions. Just plain FUN to shoot. 400 is a gimme.

I agree, some great examples here!!

BSA, your 223 sounds like a winner! Yukon, very impressive shooting!!

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.

Rizzy is the color, but no more from down under. Tricked Talley's and 20 minutes with a soldering iron on the stock.

It's not too bad buddy. When I get tired of bedding and tinkering, I'll probably go the Tikka route wink...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 ;):

These groups were shot right after installing a new scope on the .223...

Did you contact Tikka Performance in Montana ? Last time I talked to Greg he said had them coming in. Hinterland is good to go and Sterk in Australia mills them out of titanium......

Also there is a guy in Canada that makes them too and his are the ones that I have on my rifles, they look like the ones from Glade. His name is Ben and here is his contact info:

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.

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.
