The AAC 77otm and the black hills 77 tmk both shoot well out of mine, but I haven't tried anything else yet.Ordered one. Should be a fun suppressed compact bolt gun. Since I’m new to this platform, any tips on what off the shelf ammo I should try through this. Just punching paper….
Since I have no experience with other Tikka stocks, I’m curious as well as to the stock comparisons. My Super Varmint has the roughtech stock and it seems substantial to me, but I have no frame of reference. Sure do like the gun and the way it shoots, though.Thanks! That’s exactly what I was hoping, just to keep my direct thread can the same.
Can you comment on the quality of the stock? Is it fiberglass or the cheap molded plastic like in the lite or super lite models?
Very impressed with the AAC 6.5 Creedmoor 140 grain SMK. Price is right, too!The AAC 77otm and the black hills 77 tmk both shoot well out of mine, but I haven't tried anything else yet.

This is the one I ordered and it was 5/8x24.Any thoughts on why there may be some different ‘models’ floating around out there. I’m planning to get one in .223 but really want the 5/8x24 version. Anyone able to tell if there are different model numbers on the box?
If you’re talking about the very front screw on the rail, I had the same thought when I got mine. It just felt like a strange oversight in manufacturing so I looked into it and it’s supposed to be that way. It’s for the attachment of a mirage shield. I guess the CTR has it as well.Well mine is in, kinda. Took it home, have it a once over to find the front screw in the rail was half drilled and bolt is sticking way up. Contemplating drilling and tapping myself, or hacking the screw in half to make it go flush. Not what I want to do with a 1000 dollar gun, but don’t feel like sending it in for warranty…. The local ffl dealer is kindly looking at it now for me, and we will decide what to do soon. (Glad I dropped it off- as I was about to take a 6inch grinder to it!)
Oh, and mine came 1/2x28 as I wanted.
Do you mind letting me know which barrel thread version you received and where you ordered it from?Just picked one up today. Very cool little gun. I also did paper work for an otter creek labs polonium k can.
Now to decide on scope rings. The Sportsmatch to84 the lowest 30 mm Sportsmatch avalable? Either that or find some low pic rings...

Shooting the factory loaded eldm? I was thinking that would be a good one to try.I have the .223 version shooting
Hornady 73g eldms
6 kills so far most from 70-120 yards
1 bear - lungs and neck. Dropped
5 whitetails -3 neck shots does and buck- dropped
Other 2 bucks were double lunged- 70 yard and 40 yards run.
The blood trails suck and are pretty much non existent . Internal damage is great .
