Hi there. I'm new to this forum.
I've been following yas along for a long time now.
I've got a tikka 22-250, it's about 4yrs old. I've just had it reamed to Ackley improve it. I've been told by gunsmith its chamber is WAY off center and was made this way. He put it together as best he can and I will try out soon.
Is this common for tikka rifles?
But its a tikka! People here wank on about them and how good they are all the time.
I heard about a 30-06 that has a short chamber & won't take some brands of factory ammo....Quote:

Not if you bore out the lump for a start to let it go straight again
Yep but you could end up with a Wide chamber. Not knowing the run out ,it is hard to say.
If the case head end is running out then short of going to a bigger case you aint fixin it without causing another problem tho.Quote:

I have never ever seen one run out at the casehead but have seen plenty out at the shoulder/neck/throatQuote:

Jus't don't buy a Tikka :yaeh am not durnk:
Cheers. This is what the gunsmith said....
"I am not 100% happy with the way the chamber came out. The problem is that it transpires that the factory chamber was WAY off centre, and while I have done my best to set the barrel back 0.100” or so and dial in the throat area of the bore to get the throat section a bit straighter and better aligned, it is better, but still not 100% perfect".
I'm going to fire form my brass n try it out for accuracy, but am planning on a new barrel.
And if he didn't put it right he should be named. Don't be shy.Quote:
