Tikka accuracy question

[realunlucky]

Is all this negative commentary really necessary?

You can’t blame @PredatorSlayer the poor guy has been defending Christenson arms with his life for years on here. When he sees his chance he takes it

My experience with them has been great . I need to start playing the lottery apparently. A lot of the guys claiming christensen sucks have never owned one. I have a BA Tactical that has been one of the most accurate rifles I have ever owned. My FFT has also been great. I think the Tikka action is solid - probably worth the $800 you pay for the rifle. But it is still a factory rifle and plenty of people have issues with their accuracy. To claim otherwise is silly. Look, I don’t give a shit, shoot what you want. I am at a point in my life and career that I could swap all my christensens and bergara premiers (i am more of a fanboy of the premiers than CA) out for full customs and maybe I will. I don’t own stock in either company. I think it is ok to share a different perspective on the forums even if it runs contrary to what the forum is pushing…I also just get a kick out of everybody thinking these tikka factory rifles are the equivalent of a nice set of boobies. They just aren’t…

I’m a big Tikka fan. The only bolt actions I own are Tikkas. That being said, it seems every time someone has a Tikka accuracy issue it’s with a 7mm caliber variety. I know that’s biased blah blah.

No one has said they aren’t a factory rifle or that there are never lemons.

Someone came on the forum asking for help. Plenty of us were trying to troubleshoot, but you just got on to mock the Tikka platform and not offer any actual assistance to OP’s particular issue.

I have 3 Tikkas, .223 Compact, .308 Roughtech 20” and 300WSM Roughtech.

They are all stock except I changed the bolt stop on the 308 & 300 WSM to long ones.

The .223 shoots stupid accurate.

The .308 shoots sub MOA 5 shot groups with no load development with 155 & 175 TMK and Sig Fury brass.

The 300WSM also shoots sub MOA 5 shot groups with 208LRHTs and I’ve made consistent hits on a 36” plate at a mile.

I have several custom rifles, but I’m at times wondering why. The Tikkas are by far one of the smoothest factory actions I have ever felt. I have multiple thousand $$ in my customs and the most expensive Tikkas are the Roughtechs at roughly $1100. The .223 compact I paid $650 for.
