I've been trying for years to get my old Browning A-bolt to shoot MOA but it never would so I sold it and bought a Tikka. Best thing I've done to date. Since they guarentee MOA as long as I can hold steady I can get good groups. Since I've been after this goal for a while (I'm a hunter, not a shooter, but I'm getting better at both) I handload so these results are better than you might get with factory stuff. The gun is totally stock, not even glass bedded (yet!), I did lower the trigger to around 2.5 lbs. but the rifle came with instructions on how to do that (1/2 turn on an allen bolt on trigger).

Most times I shoot around 1"- 1.5" groups if I have a good rest and all goes right. I do need to shoot more in field positions and other methods. One fun thing I like to do is shoot gallon milk jugs full of water at 100 yards off-hand standing, no leaning against/over anything. It's much tougher than most people realize and if you can do that most of the time I'd say you're doing very well. I figure that size is similar to the vital area of a deer.

Anyway, just uploaded a couple pictures to my server of my new Accubond handloads from last fall. They shoot so well, I doubt I'll be switching for some time. I try to shoot only 5 shot groups now for consistancy as 3 shots aren't always as telling. Enjoy and good discussion!
