Thread: 7x57 users out there

I dont know if every tikka I have any thing to do with goes well has caused me to be one eyed but then I thought about it and pretty well every new rifle that comes to the range with their proud owner shooting two inch groups invairably get sent away to be bedded a trigger job and a load development done.
So $400 and month later they finally own a moa rifle.
I have owned top of the range weatherby hs precision model seven rems all of which I have had to fxxk around with to get to do what the plastic fantastic does OUT OF THE BOX!

My current bog standard Savage 223 and previous 204 both shot half MOA or better with handloads (204 needed a re-crown to fix the previous owners mangled attempt at threading, can't blame the manufacturer for that), sub-MOA no problem with the right factory ammo either. Even my Savage 22mag shot sub inch groups at 100m!

Family members have a couple of Rem 700s and another Savage which do about the same. My Ruger is considered the inaccurate rifle in the family because it 'only' does 0.75 MOA. So you'll have to excuse me for not finding Tikka's accuracy guarantee overly impressive.

I'm not saying they're bad, just that other rifles are just as good - buy whichever you prefer the feel of.

Back on topic, my mate likes his Ruger 7x57 but does complain about the cost of factory ammo compared to more common rounds.

At the start I put the savage in the same basket as the tikka as accurate out of the box.i rate the savage accutrigger as bloody good on a medium priced rifle. I have two savages in the safe one a 22lr which is unbeleivable for accuraccy.the other a older 7mmrem tactical which is a ripper as well.
I get alot of people asking me for advice about what rifle to buy.
To save egg on my face I will reccomend tikkas and savages as they shoot really well OUT OF THE BOX

So you did! Glad to see some good taste around here.

Tikka T3 long action bolt stop
My replacement bolt stop wasnt made out of tough enough ali and has mushed under the force of stopping the bolt

has anyone got one from somewhere other than beretta?
or is anyone handy enough to make me one?

cheers

Ooops I seem to have put this in the wrong thread, I most humbly apologise to the perfection of the Tikka LMAO just couldn't help myself.

I was just about asleep and now you want to play again!

Original still had to be replaced by the "home made replacement"
