And to be sensible and realistic, I know what you mean - Tikka are very good at marketing the fact that their rifles give about the same accuracy as everybody elses.

So you are saying everybody elses guns consistantly (in the price range) do 3/4inch MOA out of the box on factory ammo?

Mine have with the tight ammo.

Please don't say 'inch MOA', it doesn't make sense and such things annoy me more than they should.

I don't use factory ammo much but with handloads my current and previous Savage centrefires shot 0.5 MOA, there are a couple of Rem 700s in my family that do about the same, my Ruger 308 only shoots 0.75 MOA though. Even the Savage 22mag I had grouped between 0.75 and 1 MOA, obviously that one used factory ammo.

Its really nothing unusual, plenty of people on here with Howas, Marlins and whatever else can tell similar stories. Tikka have just been clever enough to turn it into some very successful marketing.
