Post by: JLS on February 24, 2013, 09:04:46 PM: Nice looking gun. I've never quite acquired a feel for the Tikka synthetic stock, my wife's is a wood stock. But man, do those things shoot nice! You going to handload for it?

You're also going to really dig how well they shoot right outta the box :IBCOOL:

Nice glass on there too...is that the 52mm apperature? Looks like it. LOTS of light gathering capability.

Very nice set up you have there, congrats!!! :tup:

Post by: Eli346 on February 25, 2013, 04:42:02 AM: I got the same gun but put a Limbsaver recoil pad on it. Sure helps. Love it though and it is a tack driver.

Post by: liljozie495 on February 25, 2013, 11:53:32 AM: You will love this gun so far I haven't tried hand loading, but I have put the federal trophy bond tips in 180gr down it for groups and got er stacked 4 on top of each other within the size of a nickel...
Title: Re: New Toy-Tikka .300 WSM
Post by: JLS on February 25, 2013, 07:44:36 PM: If it were my gun I'd do not pass go and skip right a load of a 168 Barnes X with whatever powder it likes. I think that would be an ideal bullet for this gun.
Title: Re: New Toy-Tikka .300 WSM
Post by: Eli346 on February 25, 2013, 08:09:15 PM: I haven't tried the Barnes yet but the Berger 168VLD's drop everything I've shot with it. Elk, deer, and bear.

I got mine in the mail the other day. It looks great. Adds a few ounces to it but it fit like a glove and feels good.

Shooters discount inc has the best price from what I found. Came with a good recoil pad as well.

Mine and my father in laws shoots lights out with Bergers. I shoot 175's in my 300 Win, he shoots 185's with his 300 wsm. He printed a 3" group at 550 yards with his.
