It would be very easy to just buy a 25-06 or a 270 and send it off to JES to get rebored to .280.  It will cost 250 I believe.  I had him bore a 35 whelen from a 30-06 and it shoots awesome groups.

This not a bad idea at all. Now I just need to know who JES is and how to contact them/him.

Great looking rifles Twins. I sure wist there were more of them floating around. Dog Down you ask me if had loaded any of the brass you sent me and I have loaded it but not made it to the range. Twins I am glad to hear your gun likes the 165s. I have loaded 168 Berger HVLD to try in my WSM looking forward to trying them soon.

After further inspection and a phone call the rifle turned out to be a 658 and it is not drilled and tapped. I think I may pass on it.

I sware looking at the pictures of this 695 it does not appear to be drilled and tapped for scope mounts. Surely it is.

Eric I did try a 165 and had one decent group with them. This gun is going to be a deer rifle onlym,and I live in East Tn so long shots are not likely. If all else fails I will try some 168 bergers that I have. But if I can get the 150 Barnes to shoot that will be my deer load.

Well I made it to the range today and I am pleased with the way my rifle shot. I don't have any pictures but my best group with the Barnes 150gr TTSX was probably an inch and an 1/8 at 120 yards. and I am sure I can get that to tighten up with a little more tweeting on the load. You guys are right these Tikka rifles will shoot.

With turkey season in full swing I haven't made it to the range yet but I will post some results as soon as I do.

I know that I too have read that there is a second sweet spot for Berger bullets. I have always had success seating them against the lands but in many guns today it just not an option.
