My Tika 25-06 shot MOA out of the box. After zeroing, I tried 5 different brands of manufacturer'a ammo in 3 different grains and they will all hit within 2 inches of bullseye at 100yds with no adjustments. Shooting the Federal vita shocks 117 gr, the gun shoots better than I can. Braced well, the holes are usually touching or mighty close.
