Show your Tikka ten round groups

[Castle Rock]

This topic has really moved away from its original intent, which was to show factory Tikka 10 round groups
Custom barrel guns aren’t really Tikkas
This is disqualified in my opinion due to aftermarket barrel

Not bad for 100% factory set up. Having difficulty adjusting to the fixed 6. I prefer 10x for targets. 6 is fine for hunting. I still prefer the Maven reticle over the SWFA

FWIW This is with 550 rounds down the barrel - never been cleaned.

New load so I hadn’t adjusted zero.

Left group is thrown on a Lee perfect powder measure and shot as thrown (.5gr ES).

Right group was all weighed on the beam scale to be the same)

6 creed pbb prefit
12 round group berger 105 gr hybrid factory ammo. I could definitely tighten it up if I slowed down.

Does a custom gun vet you better results than this? Seems like it would be very hard to beat especially the price point tikka is in

I shot a .7” ten shot group with my custom 28 nosler and handloads. Definitely a tighter group, but I’m not sure if the extra 3k is worth the .154” difference. I guess it’s not an apples to apples comparison since a 6.5 creed is alot easier to shoot.

All my tikkas shoot great. For my next build I am struggling with the question of going customer or not. To your point if I get 10% better accuracy (for 3-4x the price) is it worth it for hunting out to 500ish yards.

Yeah and then you start running all the other variables besides accuracy, like triggers and actions. The tikkas start to look like the no brainer option for price/reliability/accuracy.
