Those are great reasons to hate Tikkas...... ! I seriously wouldn't hunt with a CA anything, even if it were given to me. Too many issues from too many people.Having just tagged out yesterday with a phenomenal 510 yard shot with a bone stock Tikka in 7mm Rem Mag...and a safe full of rifles....I NEED nothing.
For years I chased 26" rifle barrels. Had to have them. Squeak the utmost in "free" speed. Most of my rifles are chonky. Even Sporters are 9+ all up.
I am NOT a Tikka fan. This rig was my back up rig. But every F'in time I pull out rifles to shoot...this combo hits the dot. Any random ammo I have in various reload boxes...hits the dot. Cold bore. Clean bore. 2 years later....all stacked up. Running an original Bushnell Elite LRHS in 4-18. I've shot against others with it for money. It just seems to dial properly and always has. This combo simply hits where you point it.
