You should be able to go long with that nice rig! Let us know how she shoots when you can.

Those are some nice groups! Sounds like you're hooked. I've got one Tikka in 22-250 and love it. I keep thinking I'm going to get another Tikka but haven't done it yet.

I've never heard of any problem with the lugs holding back the high pressure cartridges. I think the main difference between the 2 lug and 3 lug is the 3 lug bolt has less of a bolt rotation. Something like a 60 degree lift instead of a 90 degree lift.

As far as I know if you want a different barrel on a Tikka you have to buy a barrel blank and then have a gunsmith thread and chamber it. The barrel would be $300 – $450 and the gunsmith work would be $350 – $550.

Excellent! How far along are you with break-in? It doesn't look like the water is frozen. I was out on the range this morning in 18 degree weather. It was a bit chilly.

I would be interested in the answer to this question as well.

I don't know the answer but I would guess it's because people have been wanting a faster twist in the .223 so they could use heavier bullets. That usually gets you a higher BC and therefore less wind drift.

I'm really disappointed to hear about this. Thanks for sharing your recent experience.

do you have lube on the recoil lugs? Hopefully they didn't gaul.

They also come with a Picatinny rail and are all stainless
