Hi I know lots of people with brake fitted from .223 (me) up to .308 both pepper pot and ones that needs to be timed all wouldn't  shoot with them they help to stay on target after you've fired , noise isn't a problem has you should be wearing ear protection, where I shoot you can be shooting next to black powder , people with brakes , large calibers like .375 h&h all get on with shooting,you just have not to be a princess about it and get on with it

Hi a guy I was teaching to shoot last week kept getting the a same damage it was an old Parker hale .308 he was being too forcefull with the bolt , got him to slow down with the bolt , no more damaged rounds

Hi great rifle I have a .223 St/st varmint, I don't know if you can get Hawk scopes where you are but there a good scope for your budget

Hi a lot of people at my local range have been having a lot of success with sako round at 168 gr both for paper and deer

[Larkin]

If your shooting paper try Berger 52 gr target imo there a little bit more money ( over here in Enland anyway) but shoot well and are easyer to get than other cheaper brands

[Larkin]

Hi if it shoots like other CTR's I recon you'll be happy to leave it 'has is' imo

[Larkin]

Imo they need work to fit correctly have a look at Thirdeye tactical here in the uk(I have one)or roedale in Germany

[Larkin]

Also to consider is the weather , if the varmint is a stainless steel barrelled one it should stand up better to the weather over here in England imo

[Larkin]

Hi if it's like my varmint, there's a long swith on the left hand side of the action has you hold the rifle, so open the bolt pull it back and press the switch this will allow you to remove the bolt from the action

[Larkin]

Why don't you check out the Tikka performance shop there stock are made by people how understand Tikka's

[Larkin]

Glad you got it sorted , everybody does something stupid now and again

[Larkin]

Sounds to me like you have an overpressure problem using a cartridge with a too higher charge

[Larkin]

Hi have a look at third eye tactical,imho you can't get better made rings but they are a little expensive , I have the unimount and it's a well made/ solid piece of kit

[Larkin]

Hi here you go 22.8 looking good 5 shot group done at 100 meters at the yorkshire shooting club , 4 touching and a flyer which could/is down to me

[Larkin]

Imho I like it just the way it is ?I can see the reasoning behind reduceing the number of sections, but I'd prefer one or two good posts than lots of crap ones
