I have a Tikka CTR in 6.5 Creedmoor. The thing is the most accurate rifle I have ever owned. It averages under 0.5 MOA for 5-shot groups with 140 gr ELD-Ms. It shoots just over 0.5 MOA with 147 gr ELD-Ms. Anyway, it's a pleasure to shoot.
Yes I love the action on these rifles there buttery smooth and lightweight to carry in the woods. Pretty accurate out of the box and if we do our part on shooting it’s almost as good as a custom rifle. Thanks for watching!
1/2” group at 200 yds with factory 143 eld-X ammo I have not started load development for this rifle yet. I bought 10 boxes of eld-X ammo because of the ammo scare awhile back, I shot 2 elk at about 300 yds n had both bullets get stuck in the hide on opposite shoulder. Full mushroom of the bullet, both elk died 100 yds apart
You heard correctly. I have over 20 Tikkas. Excellent accuracy. Less than ideal velocities with factory ammo. I'm taking my new 308 Tikka T3x Roughtech Ember shooting tomorrow for the first time along with another new 308 Tikka T3x Hunter stainless superlite
@@357magnole8 DO IT! THANK ME LATER. Tikka RoughTech is one of the finest factory production rifles ever made. I now have 2 of the tan/black Roughtechs in 6.5PRC, right hand for my son, left hand for me. Still have that stainless RoughTech Ember in 308 which is amazing. It is right handed. I found the identical rifle in left hand but I'm not paying $1349 for it - also in 308. Would be cool for my son and I to both have 2 each though. Who knows, I may have a moment of financial insanity and just buy a left hand 308 for me. But I still watch out for sales.

Same rifle and it prefers the 147
That’s good to hear I also shot the 147’s match ammo and it also likes it too but I wasn’t sure of the match ammo for hunting deer and elk size game.
Need to see group size to determine what the rifle is capable of.

What velocity are you getting from that Rifle? I have been hearing that tikkas shoot a little slower?

Yes the Tokkas are smooth and very nice rifles for the Budget middle class guys that want a nice rifle I agree with you 100%
