garyb Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 (edited) Quick photo of my new Tikka T3 Super Varmint, in .243Win Just put 17 shots of factory Remington 75grn Accutip through it running her in, and she was grouping at 1/2" @ 100 yards. Out tonight to try and blood it with a couple of gingers Will then set about working up some reloads for it!

Billy. Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 (edited) I know a patch of land that needs two charlies sorting out. If you decide to go elsewhere tonight, we can pop over there. I did just try to call you, but you're probably on the throne or something. Edited July 2, 2010 by Billy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy. Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Had a little feel of the rifle this evening. Bolt is extremely smooth and it most certainly didn't feel like cheap tacky plastic (had a wood-like feel, which fooled me) Excellent choice of gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lez325 Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 (edited) very nice set up - I'd loose the mod cover though- sort of spoils the look Nice dog too- do they come as a pair lol Les Edited July 3, 2010 by Lez325 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildfowler.250 Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Have you tried 100 grain bullets through her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted July 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Can you not see the top of the mod cover when looking through the scope Gary? Nope - Crystal clear The mod cover is essential for stalking work - I hate that "PING" sound you get with thick woodland / cover coming into contact with the mod. Have you tried 100 grain bullets through her? Not yet - just 75grn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be serious GB. I've never seen anyone fret so much over a knocked rifle before. The camo is just to show off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted July 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 (edited) It's more to do with being stealthy rather than knocks 'N bumps. Mods really resonate when pulled through hedges / brambles etc, and could easily spook a Fox or a Deer - The cover cuts this problem out.

Did you struggle to find the mod cover when you unwrapped it after the postman delivered it? I have the same trouble every time I try to buy camo clothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyb Posted July 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Just been out to start my load development with this new rifle... Only managed to fire 3 shots with it, as the 1st batch of 3 grouped at .2" @ 100 yards HAPPY DAYS! This target was shot in a 10-12 mph wind 37Grn of Varget, Lapua Brass, CCI LR Primer, Hornady 75Grn V-Max - seated -5thou from the lands (2.2400) I'll be spending the rest of today dismantling my other test loads and turning them into the one above!

Crouch valley Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Nice gun mate . My rem loves 75gr nosler pushed by 40gr of varget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted July 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Got some more work to be done yet... Will try and get some 90+grn for Deer working next, and then maybe some lighter 55-58grn long range fox smashers Although, I doub't they will get up from a hit with one of the above loads anyway.
