I bought the lightest, unbraked 300WM available (Tikka). First decent ammo I fed it shot sub MOA.One thing though, it always seems like magnums dont shoot vs 243s or 223s.
Bergarbage in, Bergarbage out.

I'll give you $100 for that Tikka that won't shootPersonally I think there are just rifles that shoot good, and some that dont. Spin the roulette wheel and hope you dont land on the wrong end. . In tikka it might be 1 in 2000 in Bergara might be 1-1500 who knows . One thing though, it always seems like magnums dont shoot vs 243s or 223s.
Nah Ill trade her in and probably get what I paid for it now with inflation. Some guy will sit there on the used rack and rack the bolt saying how smooth she is so that equates to accuracy lol .I'll give you $100 for that Tikka that won't shoot
Thanks, but I've already started working with a gunsmith here that specializes in Rem 700 accurizing. He looked at the rifle and couldn't get a slug through the barrel - too tight near the chamber. Throat looks like it's had 1500 rounds through it (actually 277 single fed shooting for groups with slow barrel break-in).
Out of curiosity, what ammunition did your Tikka superlite like most?I quit throwing good money after bad and sent it down the road once I confirmed the gunsmith fixed the issue with a reamer.
I'm building off Tikka actions now. So much nicer and I love that the bolt locks with the safety.
It didn't seem to like the weird DRT ammo Bergara proofs with, but shot good with Hornady 180gr SST and Barnes VOR-TX 180gr. Only two decent cartridges I fed it before shutting down my experiment and rebarrelling it as a 7PRC.Out of curiosity, what ammunition did your Tikka superlite like most?
