Thanks

I'd love to have a varmint weight .243 or 6.5 creedmor!

It is very accurate and inexpensive 'Wolk" rifle, therefore, very suitable for an American especially in chambering for which ammo is available at Walmart.

Do all three companies offer an 8 twist in 223 though?

Dakota,

I know that SW has/had .223s. I also know that in the spring that Cabelas only had .270, .30-06 and one other large caliber in their version. I don't know about the BassPro version.

The wind died down this afternoon and the temperature was in the teens so I decided to work with some handloads with the 75 grain Hornaday Amax and 3 different powders. I didn't want to clean the snow off the picnic table so i just cleared the snow off the deck and went prone supported. The good news news for me it looks like Varget is going to work great, the bad news is I have less than a half pound left. On the bright side, Reloader 15 is shooting just about as good, I have a little over pound left and I have actually recently seen it on the shelf at a store for less than $30 a pound. I won't have to touch windage, the target is rotated in the photo.

I need to get one of those "bobsled" dohickies for single feeding and also get a spare magazine and do the Rancho Loco mod for 2.5" COAL on it.

I have this dream where Tikka makes a proper Scout Rifle according to spec and right out of the box it shoots MOA. Perhaps�. some day.

Had a 300 win mag once upon a time. For whatever reason I had a custom 300 built on a model 70 action and sent the tikka down the road. Good news is I sold it to a buddy who dropped a nice mule deer at 400-ish yards.

Missed the tikka so much I bought the same rifle in 30-06. Initial indications suggest the gun is a shooter.

Only complaint about tikkas is too much freebore.
