Thread: T3 tune up

I find the safety on the Tikka is in such a convenient place that a half cock isn't needed.
A limb saver is a easy addition that certainly helps with recoil.
Adjust the trigger to it's lightest setting, which is 2lbs and it is fantastic.
If you shoot a lot I'd get into hand loading, but if not, and your don't want to do it then it's not critical.

I had a fullfield 2 3-9x40, on my 223 and it served me well, nailed plovers out too 200 yards, and it work well for close bush when shooting goats.
You could look at a Nikon Monarch 3-12x42, which is available with a BDC reticule.
I've put a 4-16x42 on mine, as it's main job is to slay varmint's and then the odd goat.

But getting out and shooting is the best way to improve your shooting, the limbsaver and lightened trigger would certainly help.
Is it only going to be a target rifle, or a bit of hunting too, as depending on its use will determine things like length, weight and scope choice.
