 :)nice group, I will try to round up a picture or two. I see you are close, in Chehalis. Tell you what I'll do, You grab your favorite 3  mark5s, I'll grab 3 POS tikkas T3lites,with POS mounts and a POS Leupold scope in the POS stocks with POS magazines, and factory ammo. You can do anything you want to your Mark5s to make them shoot well and any hand loads you tailor.
the tikkas I'll bring are factory stock, stock rings with no work what so ever done. We meet a a range or anywhere legal to shoot. You do all the shooting. I'll trust you to be honest and shoot both to your best ability.

If the Tikkas do not average better group than your Mark5s I'll buy lunch or dinner, what ever.

I got out to 600 yards at my place with a good bench. Feel free to hang some kill pics while your digging for your "group" pics. LOL. Keep buying your Tikkas Carl, for my $$ I'll roll with REAL Sako's or Weatherby's. BTW, I'm not a cheap date. grin....

[Hillbilly270]

what is the difference between the Sako and tikka? .....same manufacturer and same barrels as far as what i've heard, just that the tikka has the pos plastic parts.

 :)don't give up on me , I have one pic in photo bucket, working on 2 more. I'll get them in and post. if you ever read any of my posts you know pics kick my ass every time, I have the pics and they are coming if I have to mail them to Falfire to get them on. I went to the weatherby site today, I had no idea they cost that much now.
What do animal shots have to do with this?

Hmm, what does animal killin have to do with this? OK, feel free to go through all posts on this thread, and show ME where I said tikka's were not accurate? Or better yet, that Weatherby's were more accurate? I'm waiting? Matter of fact, I think I gave them Kudos for accuracy. As you can see, my little 257 shoots, haven't seen a Tikka shoot that good yet, but about everyone has been sub MOA.

 Their prices aren't real world on their web site, take 3-4 bills off if you shop around. The tikka I sold KillBilly was my varmit gun, found a 240 Ultra Lightweight at cabelas I couldn't live without, so I gave it the boot.

Kill pics? Paper is cool and all, builds confidence, but killin is where its at for me. Been alot of blood shed with that POS, good for nothin 9 lugger.Too each his own Carl, I was asked what I thought, I responded, and I'll tell it how I feel again. Later

Well this the best I can do pic wise right now, I think?? you can wander around and see some animals too, and a few great harleys.
Some day I will figure out how to do pics, I been working at this for over an hour.
If you are talking about amounts of game killed considering I had over 20 years experience before you were born is all the info I need.

[257 Wby Mag]

Those ain't bad, nothin like the nine lugger group though. Looks like some salmon river bear huh? Think I've seen those pics at DJ's before.

 With that much more experience, you surely have a bunch of honker blacktails? Still waiting for you to show my quote about "Weatherby rifles are soo much more accurate that Tikkas."

Nice Harley's too. Later

 :)I don't know what DJ's is, I cant see that I ever said that you said, LOL   "Still waiting for you to show my quote about "Weatherby rifles are soo much more accurate that Tikkas" I cant find where I ever said that. and last, Nope aint the Salmon.

DJ's= Dave Jones. Looks eerily familiar....

[Bofire]

 :)OK Dave is who made my rug, he said it was the largest he had ever done, 7'2", made my Brother mad as his was 7' even. Thats metheany creek. My bros bro-in-law, John, Tom my bro, a kid named Shawn I think, two brothers I dont remember the name, and me all got bears in one evening hunt. no, thats wrong John got his the first night.
Did not move over here from the east side until 1969 , grew up hunting pheasants there were lots then around Moseslake, hunted up around Spokane for deer, still went there did not hunt blacktail too much except for a few quickee hunts until probably 75 or 76. From 76 thru 82 I got to hunt Wash. Ore. Mont and Idaho every fall, lots of big game. 
Something I never thought of before I don't have one pic of my Grandpa, Dad, Uncles, brothers, friends with any animals, or target pics either, My Grandpa had a few horns nailed to the side of the wood shed no one had any mounted heads or anything, only thing I ever had done was this bear, half the time I'd like to get rid of it, pics of me I found 2 with coyotes, 1 with an elk and a couple with bears, and a couple with turkeys.
Guess we aren't big on pics or mounts. Those groups are just fine, over the truck hood or of off a card table,  cheap factory ammo with brand new all the guns and still on the first box of ammo. no tweaks no hand loads worked up.

Top Picture
Tikka T3 Lite in 300 Win Mag-
Muzzle Brake for $180


Bottom Picture
30-378 Weatherby Accumark
Trigger Job $60
Glass Bed $60

Both are excellent shooters.  The Weatherby was about 3 times the money.  The Tikka is going with me on the high hunt this year.
