Thread: TIKA X3 1ST TASTE OF LEAD

Finally got the tika to the range,nice crisp morning,barrel wont over heat much at -3c.Bore sighted on a tree behind my place at 50yds so she be close enough at a 100yds.Fired 4 shots,gave the barrel a taste of a bore snake x2.Waited 10 minuts as i dialed up 4inchs and right 2inchs,2more shots.Dialed up 1 inch and 1 inch rigth,2 more shot,ah thats looking good.Another bore snake thru the barrel and waited 10minuts,let barrel cool right off.Fired 2 shots at a cross,thats zero good enough for me.
Went to 300yds to see what she would group like.Good enough to shoot deer with.Tell you,my eyes getting blurry looking down the range at 300yds.

It's good when it goes as smoothly as that isn't it.

Ye ok for a 18" barrel,first thing i did when i got the tika,take the stock off,give barrel a good clean,factory oilly surface all over,lighten the trigger.File the sharp edges off the inside of the stock, barrel gully so doesnt touch the barrel.Gave the bore a good clean out.Put scope on,ready to go.Now to tip a deer over.

Good gear makes sighting in easy.
Be down next week. Sounds a bit nippy.

Hard to beat a tikka for accuracy

Il have to call round for a coffee and discuss the wallaby problems.

Coffee is a sign of old age. Once it was beer.

What scope did you get Grant, another vixen?
