Have ya tried reaching out to them re: getting it replaced? I'm sure with all the documented evidence you've I'm sure got, you can show them you did your due-diligence in trying to find a load that works with it for you, but to no avail. They can learn things when receiving ones back to them like this. IF they bother to try looking for the reasons why. AND they can come off as smelling like a Rose by showing how they were more than willing to work with you on replacement. That sorta thing.View attachment 754289
On the left (1,2,5) are groupings from my Tikka .223. Shots next to (3),(4) can be ignored as I was just testing for pressure signs/velocity going up in powder charge from (2). (1) is 55gr V-Max w/ Varget (2) is 55gr V-Max with TAC, (5) is 75gr ELD-M with Varget.
On the right are 3 3-shot groupings from my 6.5 CM super-lite that I've attempted to 'improve' by fixing the inletting so it feeds, clearancing the barrel channel, and glass bedding. I've tried several different bullets and loads with this gun and nothing seems to get it to shoot, they all basically look like this load (100gr BT w/ Staball Match) which was a hail mary attempt to see if it would shoot lighter bullets better. I'm glad that some folks have had better luck with theirs.
If anyone wants mine, it's for sale.
I got the original poor fitting stock replaced by Legacy with another poor fitting stock, then did the bedding/inletting myself. They'd probably tell me that I screwed it up or something. Unless they promise to rebarrel it for me I'd rather just sell the thing with the caveat that I couldn't get it to shoot. I don't think it's worth the $$$ to take it to a smith for a new barrel, which if I also added aluminum bottom metal would be ~$800-$1000 to have a functional rifle.Have ya tried reaching out to them re: getting it replaced?

Obv recoil is different for each person. Lot of it depends on damage you already have, like to your shoulders. I've had a few tears in there over the years, and surgical correction on my shooting side.I am also wondering how much this rifle is effected by the recoil of the 308 and if the 6.5 or .243 would have preferable results.
He saved me some money too. I wanted to try one so bad due to the weight but thought it'd function worse and that's not rly worth it I. The long run. Got another Tikka instead@Formidilosus
Thanks for doing exactly what I'd like to see before buying this rifle.
With modern manufacturing methods, this type of quality and accuracy should be non-existent.
