  Tikka Hunter

  Posted by Paulh on October 17, 2017 at 1:58 am

  Picked up a Tikka Hunter a couple of weeks ago.
  +Good price
  +Light
  +Great pointabilty and comes to the shoulder effortlessly
  +Great trigger. Pulled right on three pounds
  -Plastic trigger guard, but can live with it.
  -long throat, but a good comparison to my other two. (see below for comparison)
  Tikka
  175gr Sierra:          3.27″
  200gr Partition:      3.265″

  M700
  175gr Sierra:          3.10″
  200gr Partition:      3.09″

  M70
  175gr Sierra:          3.08″
  200gr Partition:      3.065″

  I left it box stock and topped it with a Redfield 3-9x MOA. Loaded up some test rounds and headed to the range. These are untuned loads, but accurate in my other two. Three shot groups @100 yards

  200grain Partition

  Good job Tikka, I think I'll keep it.
