P/u a Tikka t3x 6.5 creedmor
« on: September 30, 2018, 12:26:44 PM »
Picked up a new tikka t3x in 6.5 creedmor yesterday put a 4x12x40 vortex diamondback with the Bdc reticle for deer maybe antelope hunt some day as this on my to do list. Wanted to do some long range target shooting as well. This is my first tikka seemed the best deal out of the three rifles I looked at. There are a ton of ammo options out there going to try 129 grain interlocks and 129 ssts first.

I’m shooting 127 Barnes LRX out of my 6.5 creedmoor. Seems to like them just wish the velocity was up a little more. Tikkas for some reason seem to run on the slow side.
