Aussie Foxer Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Finally got my new Tikka set up and ready to go, just waiting on a few cleaning items now, bore guide, patches, etc. This is my first centrefire rifle, once the soddin wind drops, I'll be out and trying various factory rounds. The mounts are Sportsmatch, scope is a Leupold 8.5-25 X 50, gun stock ammo pouch is made by Fox and purchased off flea bay. Bipod is a Harris, swivel type. I can't wait to put some rounds through this thing as the largest calibre I have owned up to now is a .17 HMR. Safe shooting and thanks for all the help and advise so far.

snaggletooth Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Nice rifle Neil, and it's quite a step up from hmr. I've a T3 Lite in .222 and it shot well with Hornady 50gr Vmax factory ammo. I'm now using handloaded 40gr Nosler Varmageddon and I'm getting .5" groups at 100yds, and they are devastating on small vermin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyb Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I have these in .204 & .223. I notice you've gone for the longer unthreaded barrel... Are you planning on having it for a moderator? Cracking rules, love mine and like the synthetic stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markyw2 Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 You won't be disappointed with the calibre choice either. I have a CZ527 FS in 222 and love it. Safe shooting. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandyb Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Yes sandyb I live in Australia, I'm a Peterbotough boy though, Standground to be precise. I'm jealous... Looked into emigrating in 2001, but didn't, bought a house instead. :o/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
