Tikka Zero Acting Weird

PS - You probably already considered it, but swap stocks if you have another handy and suspect that there's an issue with fit.

Those zeiss rings caused issues on one of the official scope evals

Interesting about those rings - thanks.

Interesting. Any idea which scope eval it was? It didn't pop up when I searched for it.

I just purchased a set of those Zeiss rings...

I think it was the first zeiss s3 eval, or the zco

Just to update and close this thread. I put the barreled action into another stock and it shot and held zero like it’s supposed to. This confirmed it was the stock causing the issue. I then put pillars in and bedded the action. Just after I put UM tikka rings on. After both of these changes my issues went away. I have since cut the barrel to 18” and suppressed it. Shoots great now! Thanks to everyone who helped diagnose the problem!!

Glad you got it sorted out and thanks for posting the cause.

So you pillar bedded the original stock or a different stock?

Added pillars and bedded the original stock.
