Very generous, thank you very much.
Ended up taking it back and got a 223 Tikka T3 instead.
I think I will stick to target shooting up to maybe 500m instead of my initial thought of up to 1000m.

Obviously I am not blaming the rifle for bruising my shoulder, that will be my technique. I'm sure most people who are not used to that caliber rifle were to sit there and fire 20 odd shots in 30...
Generally though, Tikkas are accurate rifles. I don't agree it's a gimmick, there must be some substance to the Tikka, and Sako, 3 and 5 shot Guarantee or people could return them for failing to live...
Even without breaking in the Tikka, it comes with a MOA guarantee anyway, so should fire right out of the box under MOA. And like I said before it is the recoil that pissed me off the most not the...
I just fired 28 shots through it. So it probably isn't anywhere near broken in yet.
I am more worried about the kick and people saying it isn't a very good target rifle.
I would imagine the groups...
You are 100% right Danny, I did rush into it it, was an impulse buy.
The crazy thing is I knew that most people said buy a 308, but I let the salesperson talk me into the 270.
I will see today if I...
No, I screwed up and took the salesman advise. I only want this rifle for target.
I am going to see if maybe i can do a swap at the shop and maybe pay$100 to change caliber.
I that's the case, how come there is so much negative comments about the 270 being a bad long range rifle?
The sales guy reckons you can get a longer range from a 270 than the 308, is there any truth in that?
Tried both 130 and 150.
5.56 in the army 14 years ago. Just bought a .22 a few months ago but nothing in between.
I am a big guy, 98kg, and that's not fat either, and ex army heavyweight boxer back in the day, so no...
I will go get a limb saver tomorrow and find out where I can get the barrel threaded, and than get a suppressor. The sales guy said for a good suppressor it would be $600. Was hoping not to have to...
Are Normandy ssts accurate rounds or do they help with recoil too?
Will a suppressor make a difference in the recoil?
Looks like I made quite a big mistake on buying this rifle.
Sorry guys, I meant 3.7 inches at 200m, and 1.4 inches at 100m.
Was expecting to be within 2 inches at 200m.
I could well be jumping the gun, just wanted to hear what some experienced shooters thought about it.
Would a suppressor help with recoil too?
I was just a little shocked at the 3.7moa at 200m, and...
A front bag and back bag.
It jumps quite a bit on the front bag that's for sure.
So what is a 270 good for?
Why, whats so wrong with the Tikka 270?
That sounds a bit drastic.
Just bought a Tikka 3 today, and was told by the salesperson the 270 would be good for target shooting especially long range like 1k.
I have been to the range today and fired standard ammo $40 for...
