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

Nice all around! Question at that distance did you adjust or shoot bdc tree on the prism?
I’m using the Mil reticle, so used that to holdover. No dialing available for that optic unfortunately.

Worth mentioning that was a 416 yard shot...from a 4.5 pound rifle. Who says light rifles can't shoot...
Thanks, I totally forgot to include that.
 
You reprobates cost me a bushel of cash.

I kept reading this thread and finally caved.

It was cold, windy and snowy, but I had to send some downrange. Several factory loads were sub moa with 5 shot groups despite the shivering.

You won’t catch me hunting deer with it, but it sure does shoot well and is tons of fun.

Sadly, a 223 is illegal where I hunt. Otherwise I’d slay some deer yet this year.

I might have to take a trip to another area where I can hunt that allows 223. If I do, I’ll post up pics.

I’m a solid copper fan and the Tikka really digs BlackArc’s 62gr TTSX loads. I’d love to give this setup a try on deer and/or hogs.
