Thread: new member(aka the midget) after longrange advise

No amount of gear is going to get you reliably to 800-1000. Practice will. Spend the coin on reloading gear, make a bunch of ammo and burn out the 300 barrel or buy a 308 as well and shoot lots more. Woundies suck.
Ditch the can too. Heavy, unwieldly and impractical for LR shooting. Ask KG to do you a brake and you can thank me later.

Oh, and welcome aboard.

Listen to this (above)

Welcome to the forum.

Keep the Tikka, no reason to upgrade the rifle

What glass are you using on the Tikka ?

Tell us some more about distances you are shooting at and specific issues that makes you feel that an upgrade is required.
