i have a tikka super lite and it shoots the first 3 shots under .5 moa cold barrel. 4+ start climbing up and right. it gets hot and changes trajectory a lot faster then you think. try more Cooling between shots

.Ensure that your barrel is not making contact with the stock anywhere.
.Ensure the action is fully seated properly into the recoil lug.
.Ensure your action screws are degreased and paint penned or loctited in with minimum 45” lbs. I use 65” lbs with aftermarket bottom metal.
.Ensure your ring base to action screws are are degreased and paint penned or loctited in. Torque properly. What brand are these?
.Ensure your ring cap top screws are degreased and paint penned in. Torque properly. What brand are these?
.Ensure your scope is solid and doesn’t have a wandering zero from minor impacts.
.Stop cleaning your barrel and get 100 rounds through the gun minimum before worrying about “groups”.

Properly zero the gun by confirming that 10 shots land at your POI at 100 yards. Within 2” is fine for this for now.

Once you’ve checked and eliminated all of those items, then we move to ammo selection.

In about 8 Sako and Tikka .243 rifles and close to 30 Sako and Tikka factory barrels, I’ve never seen one that didn’t shoot 95 grain SSTs more accurately than most shooters can legitimately shoot. Talking minimum 10 round groups at 100 yards.

".Ensure the action is fully seated properly into the recoil lug." That was the issue with my 7mm rem mag. Once I figured it out it shoots like a dream.

Love my Tikka in .270, there are days when its neck and neck with my Surgeon .243 to at least the 500-600 yard line. Not until I get past 800 and the better BC of the .243 makes it noticeable better.

It was easy to work loads up with in both 110 TTSX and 140 Berger as well as factory cheap stuff still holding better than 1 moa. I admit it bugs me that a basicly out of the box rifle does so well. I recently broke down to try the new B&C stock for the sake of trying it but it was not really necessary.
