Trefil Hunter Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 took my tikka out today to zero it and only had remington accutips and the results were rubbish. at 50 yards the groups were well over an inch and at 100 yards were about 4/5 inches. so far not impressed with the rifle any ideas on what ammo to use?

ABOLT Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 IF YOU ARE NOT RELOADING YOUR OWN. YOULL FIND SOME RIFLES DONT LIKE PARTICULAR MAKES OF AMMO, I WOULD RECCOMEND SAKO 50G SOFT POINT AS THIS AMMO IS MADE IN THE SAME FACTORY AS TIKKA AND SAKO RIFLES AND THATS WHAT THEY TEST THIER RIFLE ON THEY ARE EXPENSIVE BUT GOOD THATS WHAT I USED BEFORE I DID MY OWN LOADS. LET US KNOW HOW YOU GET ON Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it brand new ??, have you' run it in' properly - i have just had the same issue with a brand new Tikka T3 in .223 and its eventually sorting its self out after a bout 80 rounds, its now shooting 1/2 inch groups ok .
