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 are going to love how smooth that bolt slides   ;)

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:

No, but I'm going to send it in to Lupey later and have them add the turrets.

 I got the same gun but put a Limbsaver recoil pad on it. Sure helps. Love it though and it is a tack driver.

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.

 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.
