I am looking at a Tikka 338 but I want good feedback before I pay.
This is good info and thank you – and hi “dog”!

[Ericbc7]

I am very keen on this “t1” it should be fantastic!

[Ericbc7]

I hear ya, I want a .338 in the same functions you want

[Ericbc7]

All good!

260 in any grain weight is gonna rock
What I use is factory 6.5 creedmoor from prime

[Ericbc7]

Don't go Barnes unless you can do the “high,forward “shot”
A heart shot will let the target run, a forward top shot will put it down right ther

[Ericbc7]

Thanks for the tip Larkin, I bought 1k of the Noslers when SPS (shooters pro shop) had them on sale
my budget wont sustain bergers all the time lol.

Not to make a n issue but most rings will work well if you Lapp them
Even the free tikka ones

[Ericbc7]

Yep low, I have the great Swfa scope(s) and lowered the better if stock fits

[Ericbc7]

Seeking rings are pretty high quality.  Still I lap my rings and I found that a set of DNZ one piece rings were terribly uneven.
Good rings in general but lapping them made em worth the cost.

[Ericbc7]

Pro shot for me also
Particularly in 17 cal

[Ericbc7]

Tikka factory barrels are made by Sako which are well made.  If you want to change out for any other – you can use nearly any custom supplier

[Ericbc7]

Hmmm, tricky problem
I cannot imagine why the berserk is not performing as well as factory.

[Ericbc7]

Depends on the model, t3 light in either cal should fit , sporter heavy barrel will not fit a light stock

[Ericbc7]

I have never torqued action screws more than 45 – 50 in-lbs

35 in -lbs is usually sufficient
