Hi n4rod,
Congratulations on your first Tikka, and in a good chambering too. I like the old Rem 700s, but the newer ones aren't a patch on the 595. I would clean the bore with Boretech to get all of the carbon and copper fouling out of it, which could take some time. You will then probably need to fire a number of shots again before you reach copper equilibrium and the rifle shoots at its best. 7mm-08 is very popular here in New Zealand, and is an ideal whitetail and Mule deer chambering. I hope you enjoy it.
Good to see another vet on here. I'm retiring in 10 days after 23 years in the British Army and the Royal Air Force Regiment, with 3 tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. I spent the last 3 years working with the US Army at Fort Leonard Wood, MO as an exchange officer. Fun times.
