Thread: Sighted in my first rifle

I just bought my first rifle, a Tikka T3X Lite in .308 Winchester. Chopped to 20 inches and threaded by DPT for one of their suppressors. I've mounted a Leupold VX3 4.5 - 14 x 40 with blued Tikka Optilock rings, both second hand off this forum.
I went to the range to break in the barrel and sight it in yesterday with 150 grain Remington Corelokt PSPs. This was my second and best group.

Not bad off a pack there batman

Deer will hate you,good shooting.

Well done, looks very good.

Nice one. What are you like with a batarang

Try that after waiting 4mins between shots. You could well have em all touching

agree, also 2 in one out could also possibly be a lil movment. retorque your rings after the first firing.

The shot off to the left was the second in the group. One and three are touching. I'm fairly confident that shot two is down to shooter error.
And I'm awful with the batarang. That's the motivation for learning how to shoot a rifle.

Those spring deer in the Rimutakas are in some danger. I don't think the drop went ahead in the end.
Shoot heaps of goats - every two down makes space for another deer and they are good eating too.

Nice! At what range was that?

100 meters, bro.

Well done batman to get corelokt to group that well. If you start pushing out abit in range try going to Hornady 150 grain sst got it cutting holes and drops the deer on the spot.
