No need for any more bullets. Two MOA right will bring you on or if your scope adjusts in mils then 0.6 right will be there or there abouts smack on.

:thumbsup: So many Tikka owners seem to think their rifles are something special rather than just decent middle of the road, makes easy bait. Tikka owners on internet forums anyway, the ones I know in the real world are a bit more reasonable about them.

No scope adjustments needed, just shoot the rifle lying on it's side...tip it to the right for zero at 300 metres and tip to the left for under 50 metre shots.

I suggested to the Daughter (16yrs) to have a shot with the last bullet. I'm happy with that result, we only had a pac for a rest. Pity I hadn't taken a couple of more bullets and tweeked it to the right 6clicks.

Nah - just rotate your target 90deg to your right.
Now you're shooting 2in high - which isn't a bad thing.

You're welcome :D

Its like how the Australian government managed to avoid becoming a republic.

The 'referendum' question read

option 1: I agree that Australia should become a republic AND that the government should say sorry to the Aborigines (thus opening untold floodgates of liability to the taxpayers)

Well played John Howard, well played.

There are plenty of people who fill their freezers with dirty old 303s and Norincos, doesn't mean those rifles are anything great either.

I really shouldn't bite, but whatever.

I'm definitely a huge Tikka fan, not because I'm a fan boy that think they are the bestest rifle bar none in the world.
But what you get for the price makes them very good value for money.
If I had lots of money to spend on rifles I'd only by Anschutz and Sako rifles, but as I don't have money coming out my ears I will stick with and be very happy with my Tikka's.

Wonder why folk will poke fun at Tikkas as a gun someone buys if they can't afford a Sako, but wont say the same about CZ/Brnos for folk who can't afford an Anschutz (which is why I have a CZ 17hmr).

I've never seen them do anything better (some things worse) than a Savage, Howa, Rem700 etc which can often be bought cheaper. Doesn't make the Tikka look particularly good value to me?

Obviously if the Tikka fits you best in that price range its the best choice for you though, personal fit and feel should be the main factor.

hahah gravelben ultimate tikka hater. dont buy one if u dont like them :) hate on em all you like but theyre cheap, accurate and light - what most people look for in hunting rifle. hence they sell as fast 2$ rub and tugs from brads missus (highley reccomended btw) . the stock on the t3 is a piece of shit tho ayyyye, only hit my missus twice with it before it broke completely

I don't hate them, they're decent practical rifles. I just don't see what the fuss is all about. Cheap, accurate and light maybe... but other rifles are cheaper, just as accurate and similar weight while having better (to me at least) triggers, safeties etc. And yet some people go on about Tikkas like nothing else even comes close, so I just try to balance it out a bit. :ORLY:

You're right on one count though... I didn't buy one ;) The wooden stock 'hunter' version felt quite nice though, I'll give them that.

Why that ,because I shot a red last weekend with my T3 ? But actually 1 of the guys with me shot a hind with his T3 as well .

Might be nice if some arm chair hunters showed us what they can do ?

Couple last night with the model 70, It's not a tikka though so I didn't think it was worth bringing up... :D

I have done alright this week, leg of venison end of last week another leg two days ago. A leg of pork yesterday and all done from my armchair...I just point the hunters in the right direction and reap the rewards. I think the pork may have been taken by a tikka (there is always someone sneaks one past)

They sure are. They seem to think that all the posts on here that point out that there are other rifles just as good for about the same price or less are heresy and get very defensive.

Yip if the same thread was about Savage rifles, it would be one page long with people complaining they were ugly while all the savage owners would be out there killing things, shooting itty bitty groups with bog standard rifles and just getting on with it :D
