I bought a Tikka 25-06 five years ago and just love it, very accurate with factory ammo.

I will eventually buy a new stock for it. Looking at the Mesa Precision Altitude stock.
$600 for a stock, dayum!
That’s cheap compared to some other brands of stocks out there. Hopefully I can find a mint used one for cheaper.

I love my tikka in 338 Winchester mag. Put a limb saver recoil pad on. Makes recoil feel like 30-06
Still have one in that caliber in the safe. Great caliber in a smooth cycling, quick handling gun. Some, very few, dislike Tikkas. Some have been outspoken on these pages. Assume they never shot, hunted, carried one in the field. And those detractors seem to be quiet. Or absent 👍

Got mine dialed in over the weekend. Final weight without sling is 8lbs 6oz. Recoil is so sever it’s flattening the tips of my Accubonds in the magazine.

I just had my barrel threaded on my 300wsm t3lite, threw the can on and this was the 5 shot group at 200 yards.  I can live with that.

I’d be happy with that too!

Very accurate guns out of the box.  Love the ones I have.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

Tikka and Sako clips aren’t to good with longer polymer tip bullets take a dremmel tool and carefully take some out of the inside of the clip where the polymer tip is at it’ll solve the problem

 “Clips” go in my daughters hair. Mag boxes or magazines go in rifles.👍
