Thread: Short Barrel Tikka T3 Help/Advice

Sounds like a good all round rifle. From bush to 500-600m on goats and similar sized game

A friend runs an identical setup, he is getting 2800 fps with 162s, last time we spoke he was using H414
Benefit of the tikka is you are already starting with (or if short action option of swapping to) the long action bolt stop and magazine to seat the longer projectiles further out.
