Tikka Combination/Scope?

redmag · 01-18-2008, 10:17 AM

I just got an older Tikka 12ga/.222 and put a scope on it. With the rifle shooting dead on at 100 yds I have the shotgun shooting about 8-10 low at 35 yds. The barrels are not individually adjustable from what I can tell. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to get them to shoot closer?

Try posting in the gun forum, not the classifieds. Good luck

Hold high when shooting the shotgun barrel. Do you have a high scope mount, if so try to lower the mount. The rifling in thebarrel causes the bullet to rise above the line of sight, where as shot immediately starts dropping as soon as it leaves the barrel.

wachtelhund,
I do have low mounts on the scope. I will only hunt turkeys with this gun so I was toying with the idea of see through mounts. Right now I am leaning toward shooting the gun "as is" and finding where I must aim with the scope (maybe shooting of the center post at a lower point) to deliver a load of shot on target.

Thanks for Your Input,
Jim
