theosmith Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 cheers dolman unsure on size of land but its my 3rd one this year so im pretty happy i know there is others on my other shoots but usually take just a rimmie for the rabbits but might invest in a incar safe and take 2 guns and leave one in car locked up and chop and change as i feel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theosmith Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Palo, it's m14x 1 standard from tikka I think Seems a pretty good mod could do with a plastic bush to stop scratches etc but seems very effiecient only a small Bit on the overall length, and to be honest I have only fired 7shots 6 of those was to zero in the 7th christened the gun nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theosmith Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 i used a laser bore sighter to get in on paper and was out 7" high 3" to the left im going to put the bore sighter on again to see where it looks in relativity now! ammo i used was ppu 100grain and is less than 50p a shot so cant complain.....i want to start doing homeloading but at the acuracy and price i cant beat it in price, altho i do have a reciepe i can and will end up using Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palo Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 my Tikka Hunter in 243 shoots federal power shock very well I zeroed it 1'' high at hundred yrds also shoots the hornady 58gr supaformance excelent but these are very expensive and leave the barrell fairly dirty.
