shot my new to me tikka today, no wonder the bloke sold it, it's rooted.
Seriously that's great grouping.
Damn that is good shooting as for the barrel change, nah chance nothing just shoot it. My Tikka's shoot ok too.
I think you worry too much what others do with their money
Shit groups bro
Sorry to hear about all the trouble. Have you tried handloads? I have a SKS that drills holes in lots of things. I tell you what, gimmie $200 and the rifle and ill give you my nice SKS that drills holes in stuff.
You can PM me if its a little too embarrassing.
Dave.
Use enough gun
Yep, I've almost given up on my Tikkas too. Damned if I can get them to shoot into the same hole at 100metres. Useless. Anyone got Hardy's phone number handy?
Dave, that is a very kind and generous offer indeed. But I'd feel like I was ripping you off by passing on such a problem, as it will likely cost you thousands in CF parts to get this bloody thing to be capable of actually killing anything, so I'm sorry but I just can't do it.

I would remove the barrel straight away before you wear it out as you know it's a great shooter. Then replace with an expensive unknown barrel that you need to spend heaps on trying to get it to shoot. Then in a total fit of dis pear replace it with the known barrel you've had tucked away just in case. You would have spent lots of money, wasted time and ammo but will have ended up with a great shooting rifle pretty much the same as you started with
I for one wouldn't be buying a carbon barrel, regardless of how your rifles grouping. Have been involved with a few Christianson's over the years and they shoot great. But is the $ necessary? - not for this fella. And it appears to my untrained eye that you factory barrel may be a very good barrel, maybe a very good rifle, just thinking. Ive had a Tikka for nearly 40 years now, admittedly its one of the old originals, but man it shoots as good as the day I bought it, won't ever part with it.
