Thread: POS Tikkas Yeah Right !!!

OK @Happy

Zastava 223 cost me $450 complete with Tasco scope and added a suppressor for $300 for a total of $750.It loves Hornady Training ammo with groups ranging from 11-13mm at 100m. Nothing special.


@TimeRiders LH Savage cost $800 second hand. Added a scope for $100 and suppressor for $300 for a total of $1200. Winchester factory 100gn and my starting hand loads (have not worked up a load for this one) produce groups that both of us always get below the 15mm mark at 100m and average 12mm. Again nothing special.



The girls Norinco JW-15A cost $100 and added a $60 scope and $95 to shorten and add a suppressor for a total of $250 and shoots like this at 50m. Would be better if someone would teach me to shoot.



There are plenty of options out there and they all pretty much match the Tikka performance for less money and still have their bolts too. Each to their own.

Man I love it how good that SP Hornady training ammo shoots. Groups better than Factory V-max's in my Remmy 700 too.
Just awesome !!!

I just have to figure out how to replicate it with some of the brass I've accumulated. Mine didn't like the A-Max projectiles either. Absolutely loves the cheap as soft points/spire points.

Google Scottish .223 Ammunition plants perhaps. .??
