I have the same setup except with the wood stock. Such a nice shooting rifle. Good luck with that rifle.

Oh man was that fun. Just got back from the range! Shoulders a bit sore!!
First cold bore shot it was on the paper, worked it in from there at 100 and then out to 200 zeroed. My last three shots were all within 1 inch. Not bad for factory Hornady 150 grain ammo.

Any rifles a good gift to ones self but I HATE Tikka's!
I also HATE the fact they shoot so well. I have really tried to buy one, I've had a Tikka .300 WSM in my hand twice at the local gun shop and just couldn't do it. I have four friends that own them and they shoot like a house of fire! Remington would jam my face on the wall of shame if I sold them out and pulled the trigger on a Tikka.
Maybe one of these days I can work past it.
