Hi All,

Purchased a new T3X a couple months back and mounted a Vortex Crossfire ll 4-12 X 40 with Burris rings

Have tried 3 different ammo types so far and can't seem to get acceptable groups.

Hornady American Whitetail 150 grain

Hornady Custom 150 grain SST

Federal Premium 150 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip

So far I have fired the gun 21 times, only once…

Just got back from range yesterday, I was able to shoot good groups with 4 out of 5 of the different bullets that I have, all measured at 100 yards. At this point, I am very happy with the gun and the bolt is the smoothest of any bolt gun I have ever shot.

Happy plinking or Happy hunting, everyone!

Good morning all, wanted to report back now that I have had a chance to correct my problems. After talking with my local gun dealer and Vortex directly, my LGD agreed to replace my scope with another new, right out of the box scope so I wouldn't have send mine to manufacture and wait.
I simply told LGD, it would be different if I had the scope for… Read more

I will check over rail, rings and all to ensure everything is tight. Already tried to grab some heavier ammo, Wal-Mart only had Winchester 180 so I passed on that and will either have to order online or pay a little more at one of the local gun shops.

Hope to shoot again this coming Sunday after I get back from traveling most of the week for… Read more

Thank you Larkin and ShtrRdy, I will check to make sure the barrel is floating and take more shots before cleaning plus pickup a box of the Federal Gold Match in the higher grains.

Will update after I get back out to the range!

Is the scope on tight

When I purchased the gun, I watched the guy install the base, rings and mount the scope using a gun specific torque wrench. He even loosened everything and re torqued, he is a competition shooter himself and I trust he did a good job setting it up.

I will go over everything to ensure, certainly don't want to overlook something… Read more

What's “acceptable”?  1 inch at 100, .5 inch at 100, …?

I had trouble for a long time wit a .30-06 (not a Tikka).  Installed a recoil pad to deal with flinching, installed a new trigger because the old one was very stiff, and everything else was the shooter, including a very dirty barrel and poor concentration.

I currently can't shoot better t… Read more
