I put on a new bolt and bolt shroud. I left my trigger alone…not totally….I adjusted it down to almost 2 1/2 pounds. For hunting I will eventually get it down to 2 pounds. It is crisp. I had some previous posts showining my rifle. It has the 20 moa rail and a Zeiss 6.5 to 20 scope. Shoots 1/4 moa to 3/8 moa with factory Hornady. I will post some pictures when I get my new stock on.

I have the Sporter/Varmint on order for my T3 Varmint 22-250. Jason has assured me that the looks of this stock alone will give me 0 MOA groups at 400 yards!!!! I can't wait!!! I should have deliver in December and I will be posting some pictures. Mine is inletted for the cdi bottom metal. This will complete my customization of my Tikka. Just glancing at the picture of the adjustable hunter and the sporter/varmint, I see few differences.

Thanks for the pictures. I have done great with superformance and my reloads of 50 grain vmax, 37.5 gr of Varget and Federal Match primers. Group 1/2″ to 5/8″ at 200 yards. When I go back to the range I will take some pictures.

Thanks Ranger. Last weekend I loaded some 50 gr vmax using varget. I loaded 5 each of 35.5 gr., 36 gr. and 36.5 gr. Now I have to get some time to get to the range. What is the twist in your rifles?

Good deal on your set up. How about posting a picture. I also made the same decision early on to get the Helmick stock for my varmint 22-250. Mine should arrive in November.

Good deal on your .223. I am trying to get back to the range with my varmint 22-250. For those of you who have the 22-250 I will chrono the Superformance 50gr vmax and several handloads. Yesterday I loaded some Lapua brass, Federal match primers and 35.5 gr of Varget with the 50 gr vmax. I set the bullets at .010 of the lands. It will be interesting to see how this load compares with the Superformance. I know that I will not get the velocity but I am hoping for superb accuracy. The only negative with the Tikka t3 Varmint in 22-250 is the 1 in 14 twist. It limits you to 55 gr bullets although I am going to try a couple of 60 gr bullets in vmax and berger. Shoot straight!

That looks like a great load for you. How does it shoot at 200 and 300 yards. Do you ever hunt out that far.
