do you still have this rifle?

[Tikkamike]

how much for the ammo and rifle?

[Tikkamike]

If you will sell just the bare rifle for $500 ill take it.

[Tikkamike]

Still have the barrel for sale

[Tikkamike]

I dont have a problem with the plastic magazine, i anything id like to see bottom metal as an option I dont see much wiggle room for longer case capacity, how much more length are you looking at jason? In my opinion a long mag for a short mag is probably as good as its gonna get for tikka, Problem is their twist rates are so slow you cant really shoot super heavy bullets anyway except the fast twist 223 they offer.

[Tikkamike]

what are you doing up there?

[Tikkamike]

I have had no problem shooting under 1 moa out to 800 yards with t3 lite in 25-06. I think you will be fine.

[Tikkamike]

By the Way I ended up being an amazing 2.5 grains over max. that is where I stopped stretching primer pockets. Kind of scarry but was a good learning experience.

[Tikkamike]

I will for sure! I really like how those PST's look a lot.

[Tikkamike]

Thanks Jason! I like how it turned out and I think once I get to use that new Rail I am gonna try one of those vortex scopes you like so much.

[Tikkamike]

I have a Montecarlo and the ultra light on order from Helmick arms Ill give you some initial feed back once I get them.

[Tikkamike]

I agree with Jason both are great choices. I think first and foremost you need to decide how you want to compensate for bullet drop. If you want it to be right there in your reticle and not have to mess with turrets or drop charts then the Zeiss is by far the best choice. They have the most advanced BDC reticle available and I own a couple. they are really nice. However if you want to turn turrets then Vortex has zeiss beat. Vortex seems to be doing some really great stuff. I Do not own a vortex but I have my eye on a couple. To me the biggest draw back is the range of adjustment and the click value. Some of the clicks are as much as 1/2 which to me is too much for the kind of shooting I like to do. But they are not all like that. I hear they have great repeatability and you can have a turret engraved so you just range and dial. So pick the method you think you would prefer. Either way you go I highly doubt you regret.

[Tikkamike]

thats pretty sweet. what kind of accuracy are you seeing?

[Tikkamike]

T3 stainless in 270wsm is on my bucket list. that is my altime favorite coyote caliber. fling a 140 out there at 3200 fps, shoot flat way better in with than .22 cal, I used to have one in a model 70 that I miss a lot.  I think the 270 wsm is highly underrated. Good luck at your competition. I wish I could see that looks your gonna get walking up to the firing line with your plastic factory rifle and smoke everyone haha

[Tikkamike]

i would take it back and tell him you want it done right. I think itll look bid if you try sanding it
