Started breaking the Tikka in

[Mr Drysdale]

Had a brief window of opportunity today to start breaking in the barrel on my new Super Lite. Cleaned the barrel good before I started and bore sited. Fired three shots and cleaned between each. Four inches high and 1.5 right. 1 1/4 inch group. Adjusted to impact at 2 high and repeated cleaning between shots. Adjustment was dead on with a 15/16 group. That's all I had time for today but I am very happy with this rifle. Limb Saver must have tamed the kick as I didn't even notice. BTW I have no idea what load or bullet I was shooting as a friend brought me an array of loaded ammo to break it in with. I must say I am impressed with the Tikka.

I really like my Tikka. I haven't got more then about two boxes of ammo through it but I do like the balance and feel.

[Mr Drysdale]

Which caliber are your rifles? Mine is 7RM.

I have 7 RM and 270, they are just great guns

How is their accuracy at 400-500 yards?

I have shot my 270 to 500 with good results. Haven't measured, but consistent at hitting 10"-12" steel. At 100 it usually around 5/8"-3/4" moa

Both my 270's are just over 3" at 300 and based on a couple longer shots on deer, hold that approx. moa to 400. Have not tried them further, but am temped to.
