You might have to experiment to find the correct torque for the action screws - usually 35 inch lbs front and 30 inch lbs rear is a good starting point.

T3 triggers are superb as they come and you can easily adjust the weight to suit yourself. They would be one of the best production triggers available and are almost identical to the standard Sako trigger.

It would be very unusual to have a Tikka that didn't have an excellent barrel and be trued correctly with the action with the bolt lugs squared, making full contact.

Precision handloads that are tuned to the rifle are probably going to make the biggest difference for you. Make sure your scope is free of parallax at the distance you're shooting.

Thats a great post. thanks mate.

At some point id like to upgrade the scope to a nightforce. but thatyll be in the future.
