Tikka and Savage shooters
If you shoot a Tikka or savage show me some groups from a unmodified rifle
I keep hearing how good they shoot strait out of the box.
or if you have a factory un moded holepuncher let me see them too!

RE: Tikka and Savage shooters
When posting the pics from photobucket, you need to get rid of everything after the .jpg. ?t=1168884794 needs to be deleted from the first picture.
There is your first picture.
Savage Model 12 .308 510 yards.

RE: Tikka and Savage shooters
#40 fan : thanks for the info on posting pics.
What load and bullet are you shooting in the savagemodel 12?
I tried some sierra 155 gr the other day and they shot a one holer(3 shot group) at 100 and .9 inch at 300 yds.Was useing max load of varget.
I have one in 22/250 and still haven't found what it likes yet,have a 22/250 in a rem sps and it will shoot one hole groups at 100 and has shot some groups less than an inch at 300.
I am going to bed the savage 12 when I get around to it and see if it helps it.
Below is a group shot at 300 yds with a savage muzzleloader.

RE: Tikka and Savage shooters
I don't have picture's but just bought a Tikka .270 WSM last friday and it does shoot real well ! Sighted it in at 100 easily . I had groups at 100 and even 200 similar to above (several touching and maybe one just a hair off)! With a fancy rifle vise my buddy had............I got a best group at 200 yards with 4 touching !
But I couldn't do much at 300 yards (lucky to hit the target)!! I guess I need to practice more......I think the gun and bullets are fine !! Just some pilot error ! [8D]
