2nd test new Tikka continental 223 Wow!

[Rdlningcltchdmpr]

As i said before my new Tikka continental is more than i hoped for. This is only my second test. The First test was impressive but done with new Lapua brass with very much variation in neck tension. I figured this test with once fired brass would be better and yes it was. These groups are not even refined yet ! Still have to adjust seating depth and tiny powder weight movement's. It's a dream come true !

No surprise to me and @joshb . Every continental varmint ive ever had shot like a custom bench gun

Going to be hard to beat 26 varget or 27 gr of CFE. Accurate rifles are fun.

 

[Zero333]

You have a sweet rifle for sure.

 

[joshb]

Dusty is right. They’re little gems! I buy everyone I see!
Nice shooting! Enjoy!

Ok! Still a good gun! I have t3x’s, t3s, 695s and 595s in my herd. I’m especially fond of the older 595s, in any model!

Josh, I'm thinking your new place in TX is a big gun safe with a house attached.

 

[joshb]

Oh, I don’t have that many.......but I’m still working at it. I’ve seen a bunch of pawn shops around town. Plenty of exploring to do after I get the wife settled!
