Tikka

Not looking good so far for my Tikka factory 7PRC.

why?

Not living up to the Tikka name so far. Seems to be on par with other reviews I’ve seen. Hopefully I will find something it likes.

For what its worth I have a Tikka in .308 and it did not shoot the light 130 grain .308 Barnes TTSX well at all, but it LOVES the the Sako Powerhead Blade ammo in 162 grain, pin point accuracy with that ammo.

Without any specifics, it’s hard to evaluate what problem you are having. What size groups are you getting? What are you expecting?

Do you want help or is this just a statement

For the most part just throwing it out there,but. I’m open to suggestions or conversations about it.

I wasn't necessarily looking for suggestions,more so putting it out there. But,I’m open to hearing them. It’s a T3x Roughtech 24” barrel. Shooting with factory muzzle brake. Tried the Hornady ELDX and ELDM factory load so far. 3 shot groups are around 1-1/2” to 2”. Expecting it to shoot as good as my other 3 Tikkas. 6.5 CM,6.5PRC,270WSM. All 3 will shoot almost anything you put through them well.

I have heard other people complain about those two loads. People seem to really like the Federal Premium ELDM loads. They are hard to find though.

Well this could turn out to be an interesting thread. Or strange…. I’m betting on strange.

Didn’t know Federal loaded the ELDM’s. New about the Federal ELDX loads. I can also load whatever for it,so that is a plus. So far from what I’ve seen in different YouTube reviews (take them or leave them) in two different Tikka configurations of 7prc. And some grumbling on a couple facebook groups I’m in. Plus what I’ve seen so far in mine. Now a third different Tikka configuration. It’s looking like Tikka’s aren’t doing so hot in this particular chambering. Mine is on par with the lackluster results I’ve been sort of been researching.

I equate threads like this to the bookface posts like “rough day, don’t ask.” Worthless.

Anyways.

I think op should internet research better.


This isn't the place to come and complain on Tikka, even tho a sight owner might make stickers that say Tikkas Suck.

Hornady Match has always been some of the most accurate factory ammo for me. You might also try some of the federal premium stuff.

This is why I like Tikka. I have to work hard to be an average shot with a rifle but my Tikka 7mm-08 makes even me look like I know what I am doing with these 3 shots. I wasn't even planning on shooting this gun but I fired these 3 waiting for the barrel to cool on my other rifle.

Come and complain away. This place doesn’t need to be a safe space but for hells sake, provide some constructive, substantial information.

Not only did the first two post waste the time of anyone that read them. It’s wasting a mods time having to move the thing to the correct place.
