Tikka 3tx--Field ready
1 Attachment(s)
The tikka 3tx,is without a doubt, a hard hitting long distance hunting rifle.Also holds its own on the target range.Low recoil,you can shoot it all day.This fairly rapid fire 10 shot group at 100m was the 1st shots since last fall.The 22-250 used all winter ,on yotes--The 6.5 hard on fur.Next trip will move out to 200m-300m.The trigger crisp---ideal.At 300 plus its a fun gong ringer.The bullet used Hornadys 147 ELD match.The light hunting model in this caliber,an idea beginners rifle.

My most recent rifle purchase was a new T3X varmint in 204 Ruger, but I've only had 1 opportunity to get it out. Great shooter, crisp trigger...but I found it too heavy for my liking. (even dialled out) I put a YoDave trigger spring in place of the factory one, and wow....now she's good! ($15 shipped) Needs some load development time...but factory ammo was sub MOA, so I haven't exactly rushed into it. lol |

Anyway let us know how cold bore single shot repeatability in your rifle fairs at extended ranges. I know I’ve got quite a few Savage and Remington rigs that can do it, and my long ago sold T3 in 7-08 was a true top performer.(still kicking my arse over that sale) Life of a polygamist gun owner..... |

I’ve seen the results from a handful of 6.5CM Tikkas now, and it’s crazy how well they shoot. I’ve also been shooting the 147ELD in my LH version. A very fun combo! |

So is this a post about the t3x or 6.5 creedmoor or the 147 eldm’s or the 143 eldx?

I haven’t shot a T3x, but here is a 10-shot 100yd group from my lowly factory T3 in 30.06.

I can answer with my load: 143gr ELDX 210M primer 41.0gr H4350 COAL 2.830” Produces a zippy 2780fps in a KSA 24” inch tube. This slippery load holds 1800fps at 820 yards. 5-shot group results: ES: 25 SD: 9.6 After multiple 5- shot groups off bench rest, I conclude that accuracy is from 0.5-0.9MOA. 129 Long Range Accubond over Varget produced my lowest ES/SD at 9/3.6, but group size was in the 1.5MOA range. Velocity was 2864fps. I went for accuracy and velocity over statistics. If I ever shot at extreme long range, I would be more focused on a load with both great accuracy, velocity and low SD/ES. If you want speed, shoot the LRAccubond over RL17. I got them up to 3061fps! (Disclaimer: start low and work your way up...) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Nice shooting, bobtodrick and dave99. Very nice.
