    In the tikka you can file the block or replace with L mag. You also have to have the bolt stop changed for the L

    Shoots bugholes if i hold it TIGHT, recoil is very sharp but not overwhelming. will probably be my go to rifle this year so don't tell my Sako 85 6.5 ,it'll probably get jealous.
    fully recomend the caliber as it is almost identical ballisticly to the 300 win mag with anything up to 180 grains, and 200 or 220 gr bush loads don't mind going a little bit slower

    Interesting, my 30-284 is very very close on the heels of that load 178 amax 2975fps,recoil you know its gone off but my 303 still bruises me.

    the most interesting bit for me was you say you hold it "Tight" to group well, I have tried hard hold and free recoil with mine and cannot get as good groups or as consistent POI with a hard hold as I can with free recoil.

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    In all honesty, with my experience with this caliber I call bullshit, I've herd of 20in barrels doing 2700 with 208s, but 18in doing 2800 is hard to believe
