Beautiful rifle Chris, had one in 308 many many years ago, foolishly sold it on, as we did.

I bought my Tikka in '76, a 22.250, looked exactly like that. All these years later, it still shoots .75moa, great rifles, have fun.

Wow is that box survived all that time?

@Beavis are you going to run it with just the irons?

If you do manage to shoot it with irons, I'd be keen to know how it performs. Bought one myself recently (also in 30-06). Won't be able to test it out for a while.

No I'll put a scope on it unless I can find some swanky euro mounts that will allow a return to zero.

30-06 Recoil is ok.
Noticeable when sighting in etc but manageable.
Shooting animals don't feel a thing.
Stock fit helps.
Always thought 270 worse.

I have a spare sight protector for that model if you would like it.
Probably 1640 by the look of the barrel length.
My two are made in 57 [30 06] and 63 [9.3x62].
I'd get another in a heart beat, great well made rifles and accurate to boot, some trigger work needed if your as finiky as me but not really needed.
pm me if you would like the protector.
