    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.
    I...

    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...

    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.

    The sales guy reckons you can get a longer range from a 270 than the 308, is there any truth in that?

    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...
