Never, ever be without a .30-06.

Ever.

The Sportsmatch 1" rings came in. I mounted a Trijicon Accupoint 3-9x40 mil dot.

I also swapped in a High Desert Rifle Works aluminum trigger guard. I'm impressed with it.

Factory trigger adjusted to 28 oz.

Hoping to shoot it Friday.

Holy cow that's a looker, hard to beat stainless in walnut. Got to love the tikkas.., and you can go wrong with that caliber!

If you handload it doesn't give up much to a 6.5-06 or for that matter the prc. 2850 is easy enough with 140s.

I need to start loading. The factory stuff is pretty weak for sure.

Man, I need to quit looking at this thread. I'm trying not to buy one of those.

 

[TxxAgg]

Anyone shoot these???

I handload for our Tikka but have shot Norma factory loads which are pretty good if you can find them.

I've got a couple of spare boxes of the Norma with 140 Partitions, if anyone needs them.

I've also got 100 Hornady 140 HP match loads too, going spare. They came as a package deal with my T3 Swede & I've got enough practice/target ammo to never need to load any.

Has that beauty drawn blood yet?

 

[TxxAgg]

Just sighted it in on Wednesday. It'll be a couple weeks and maybe I can chase pigs.

Finally...

Chamber any rifle in 6.5 Swede and it takes on a whole new mystique.

Nice hog!

Nice way to break that beauty in! Did you use the S&B 131 gr factory load?
