Guess I have bought my last Tikka as long as Beretta continues down this trail of corporate “logic.”

If they persist perhaps a  wide spread boycott of Beretta and Tikka should be considered.

That is a very slick great shootin rig you have there.

There are newer, faster, and flashier rounds but few, if any,  that can say “Been there…Done that” in as many different roles and places as the venerable old 06.

Yeah, I love my .243.  It has embarrassed more than one heavy barrel gun at the range.  🙂

Thankyou

Two separate three shot groups using the 155 Hornady AMAX and 49.0 grains of VihtaVouri N140 powder.  One Group each on either side of the ten ring (Note the other bullet holes in the target are from various other rifles)

A volunteer for the deep freezer I killed with the155 Amax load a few years ago:
