.223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

The Tikka compact comes with a spacer so it can be a standard LOP rifle as well. And the compacts have a 20" barrel from the factory which is a handy length out of the box if folks don't intend to cut/thread.
Thanks for making that point. :)

I bought the compact for the 20 inch barrel. Already have the optional spacer installed so LOP is standard now.
 
Pics added…we are really bad a taking pics as you can see. We also do gutless cleaning so very rarely do we inspect internal damage or hunt for bullets.
Some processing pics. In and out on small button at 90ish yd

Creedmoor Sports has 77 TMKs in stock, I’ve purchased from them often.

No they don’t. That’s what I ordered last night and got an email saying they are out of stock this morning. But yes their website says in stock for the box of 500….

Not a good showing for my first experience with them.

I’m sorry for giving you the bum steer there, they typically have been really good.
 
Heading out tomorrow to see how the Tikka .223 likes the 77 TMK factory black hills ammo. Will post the results in the Tikka 10 round group thread.

I'm interested. I also have a brand new Tikka .223 and two cases of 77 TMKs. Unfortunately the TMKs are stuck on the wrong side of the country due to flight cancellations, and I haven't shot anything else due to 6 feet of new snow.
