Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Tikka T3 CTR?

Some user names did not work given length criteria. Yours might be one

Gotcha, well I cannot access on my laptop..thanks for the input.

That'd be a little excessive when you added the can.

I'm canless.

Peasant.

Interesting rig, screw the 'hide.....

Ok. Local shop found one. On its way.





Travis

Yer gonna love it. Will post a few world class iPhone pics of the .260 when I get back from run to winterize The Ranch.

Hurry up [bleep]!

To ensure this new zapper would be ready for rifle opener on 22nd, I dropped an unassigned Leupold 1.75-6x32 German No.1 in Wally Whirl'd Weaver Quadlocks onto its Picatinny 0 MOA factory rail. Here's a few pics after all was put together.

Hoping to have a Silencerco Harvester 7.62 in place of this thread protector before too long.

Only fired 5 rounds of Rem 120 BTs fired so far, but here are shots 3-5. I measured them at .51; jerked one kinda hard. In the swamp I hunt 60 yards is a long poke...

After the season will pimp with a scope more suited to longer shooting, a drab dip or spraypaint job, and develop some 100 gr. NBTs to pop vermin with and a heavier Scenar load for a COelk hunt next fall.

308 CTR 1/11 twist
260 CTR 1/8 twist

Thinking I'd prefer the 260.

Order one.

What's the scoop with the mag? Looks like the button is on the box. Surprised they didn't throw a 1:8 223 in the mix.

That's my plan just as soon as you give a review of the one your getting.

I'm a peasant slut! Just added a tikka 223 super lite 1/8 twist to the arsenal.

I went .308 for two reasons...

1.) I have piles of .308 crap.

2.) I don't think the .260 is as near as sub-sonic friendly as the .308 is.

And the sub-sonic .308's are bad-freakin'-ass.



Travis

Got some Trail Boss to phart around with for just that reason. Cain't hardly wait for a suppressor.

Hey slut, whats the 1:8 doing? I'm assuming your shooting 75amax? What speed are you getting, groups, yada,yada.....

Somebody on here told me to use 11.0gr's of TB and the 190gr Sierra MatchKing. They must have known WTF they were talking about because they shoot like a [bleep] and are quieter than an air gun.

Until that bullet hits somethin'...

I bought it while on the road working and am previously making a move from Montana to Western Oregon so I haven't had time to do any loads for the rifle yet.

I fired some blue box 64 grainers through it and groups were just over an inch. I know the rifle should do way better than that and am eager to get some loads done.

I picked up some Benchmark and H4895 along with Barnes 55 ttsx I plan to use for a deer hunting load.

As I bought the rifle mostly for my 8 year old daughter I also picked up some hornady 55 gr vmax that I intend to use with the H4895 for reduced recoil loads for the kid.

However my 8 year old did offer to loan me her rifle anytime I like. :Grin

I'm assuming to run the 75 AMax I'd need to do a mag mod?

Sorry I don't have more for you but I'll let you know how it all pans out as soon as I get the chance.
