The man has not been too good at taking advice so far and so deserves a bit of stick.
Hopefully when he takes it back he tells the salesman of any shortcomings so that the salesman can give an 'honest' opinion to the next buyer.

Even without breaking in the Tikka, it comes with a MOA guarantee anyway, so should fire right out of the box under MOA. And like I said before it is the recoil that pissed me off the most not the groupings, and breaking the rifle in will do sweet fuck all for that.
I did say it was crazy of me to buy the 270, but we all get sucked into buying something that isn't quite right at some time or other.

The MOA guarantee will be for the rifle, not the shooter...jam it in a vice and it will probably meet guarantee specifications.
Park the rifle up until your shoulder has healed as you wont be doing yourself any favours shooting with bruising.
