Thread: tikka t3x 300wm cant get to group....

Interesting problem,my son inlaw works in auz,brought a Browning x bolt Hell Canyon long Range 300 Win Mag(26in)fancy long name for a sales pitch.As he is from Otago I look after it.I had to set it up and site it in.He wanted me to use Federal 180gr,good cheap ammo and plenty of shops have it.I put Chinese scope on it he brought from china direct.No brand name on the scope.5 x30x50.Bloody great club of a thing.Put a gunworks suppresser on it.20 moa rail.
Think I could get that thing to touch holes at a 100yds.Groups no better than 2 to 4 inchs.Checked scope dialing,over 50 cms was only dialing 9.1 mm per clk instead of 10mm.Letting barrel cool between groups.Scope firmly fixed to rifle.
So I got to chch and brought some Hornady 180gr SSTs.bloody dear shit.Well you think I had a different rifle,after 4 shots sighting in,2 shots touching holes n bull at a 100yds.Deadly accurate rifle.Blu a couple of rabbit heads off at 400yds.
Try different ammo,once you get yr 300 shooting ok.
