Go to second level = free from importer.

Try 175 Sierra Match King with either H4350 or IMR4350 56 grains or so.
As with any load information, carefully work your way up.
200 yards .233 MOA, from a pawn shop rescue M695 30-06.

I have a Tikka CTR in .260. I am in the process of changing the rail to a 20MOA base. I noticed the Tikka action has two pins that stick up and the new rails I have seen don't account for these. Do I need to grind these down or does someone make a base that fits?

Not quite there on the load or you might want to try adjusting seating depth or both.
-
Yes, there are two “nubs” that support the barrel at that location.
Some have removed them to make the barrel free floating to the lug.

Maybe it's your glasses?

Have you adjusted the “fast focus” or “eye-piece” focus? That's the part near your eye that should bring your reticle into sharp focus.
What I do is I print out something similar to the eye chart an optometrist uses and post it up at 100 yards. I then focus my scope using the AO as well as the “eye-piece” focus to bring the printing on the paper into as clear a focus as I can get it. You can also do this at 200 yards if the print is large enough for the power of your scope.

Here's the latest: Tikka 695 30-06, pawn shop rescue, 175 SMK @ 200 yards, shot yesterday 10/09/14

.270 isn't a short action caliber.

You've taken the major step by tightening the action screws.
Remove the nubs, it will settle down your groups. Before I did, I was getting the 2 and one syndrome, or the 3 and 5, if you know what I mean.

This rifle has a 1:10 twist. i understand that 69 grain is too heavy, right?
Try them, it's not like they are going to blow your rifle up.
Sierra says up to 1×10:

Still trying various ammo. Hoping I'll find a winning combination.
Try Federal Gold Medal Match with 69 grain Sierras?

Very nice!

Help for a new Tikka T3 owner. Took the barreled action out of the stock to adjust the trigger weight. Went very smooth up to that point. The issue I’m having is that when placing the barreled action back in the stock & following recommendations offered by 10 Spot Terminator the following happens. When tightening the tang screw the folded bill slides easily forward/back side/side. As I begin to tighten the front screw I can see the wings of the bill folding up. No matter what I seem to do the issue remains. Tried to torque the rear screw down to 15in pounds then the front to the same but the situation remains. Even at the 15 in# number I can only get the bill to flow 4.5 inchs from the end of the stock so I imagine that the 35”# would be equally problematic. I am used to having a free float down to 1-2 inches from the chamber not 5.5 or 6”. Some mention was made of the cross rib being removed to aid in the free float. Taking that out is a one way step that I do not wish to take until I am relatively sure that this will correct the issue. Can’t put the composite back once it’s out. This is my first composite stock so am doubly nervous. I’m probably doing something wrong but it’s got me buffaloed. I know there are wiser heads out there & I sure could use some of there expertise.
Remove the pinch points, it won't hurt it. I was in the same boat as you, got a take-off stock cheap just in case, but it worked for me and it will for you too.
When replacing the action, just snug up, not tighten, both action screws, tap the butt end a few times on the ground (muzzle up) to set the lug, tighten down the front action screw first then the rear, torque both to 35-40 in/lbs.
