Same with mine, without what appears to be a wheel hub attached, its how you hold your toungue

Nothing wrong with a tikka, good rifles.

Its just what it says about you that is not great.
Its a bit like owning a toyota corolla, it says you are boring and have no imagination, you are probably not very interested in rifles and bought the rifle the salesman at h&f is incentivised to sell because he said it was good and it was the only rifle they had with more than one calibre option.
He told you it was accurate but you have never checked to see if it actually is, it still has the shitty huntsman scope that came with it!
You have to take it with you when you go to buy more ammo because you can't be bothered to remember what calibre it is!
You would probably struggle to tell the difference between a goat and a sambar!

Just taking the piss, but I reckon there would be a few owners like that! (not on this forum as that shows you actually have an interest) 🙈🙉🙊👅

I've set up 3 Tikka 7mm08's now, with a handload of 50gn 2209, CCI mag primer, norma brass and Nosler 140BT or AB all have been 0.5MOA or better shooters, and I'm not a great shot. They take some beating, easier to set up than my M03, HS etc.

[QUOTE=gadgetman;316939]OK @Happy

Zastava 223 cost me $450 complete with Tasco scope and added a suppressor for $300 for a total of $750.It loves Hornady Training ammo with groups ranging from 11-13mm at 100m. Nothing special.


@TimeRiders LH Savage cost $800 second hand. Added a scope for $100 and suppressor for $300 for a total of $1200. Winchester factory 100gn and my starting hand loads (have not worked up a load for this one) produce groups that both of us always get below the 15mm mark at 100m and average 12mm. Again nothing special.

Man I love it how good that SP Hornady training ammo shoots. Groups better than Factory V-max's in my Remmy 700 too.
Just awesome !!!

I just have to figure out how to replicate it with some of the brass I've accumulated. Mine didn't like the A-Max projectiles either. Absolutely loves the cheap as soft points/spire points.

Google Scottish .223 Ammunition plants perhaps. .??

Could have another go, mate couldn't get them to work in his rifle either.
