    I wouldn’t buy a .223 on a long action to begin with .

    Tikka turn offs for me

    One size fits all action

    Magazine

    While I realise these are two things that keep the price competitive (well 5 years ago) their the two things I don’t like I’m not asking them to change it it is what it is but a .223 on a long action and a long action that’s mag handicaps loading the likes of the 300wm to 168-180gn with out eating powder space If somebody made a hinged floor plate I’d most certainly have another in the 6.5x55 .284 .270 case length realm or any of the wsms their light handle nicely and flat out shoot

    I got a long Waters .223 magazine from Aus. Can fit the 80 grn .223 out to the lands. He does other calibers too.

    Every load and bullet Ive tried has shot under an inch with my 1:8 .223 T3. The best loads group tiny.
