I'm trying to help out a less fortunate kid. He's actually my best friend's grandson. He is young, and small, but loves to hunt. I just acquired a Tikka T3, composite/stainless with Nikon glass. The rifle looked hardly used. I immediately checked out the scope mounts, because the cross hairs were noticeably out of level. I immediately found that not only were the rings not torqued correctly, one screw on each ring was barely tight. After seeing this, I took the scope and mounts off and started all over, reinstalling and torquing everything correctly. So, I know the scope and mounting is good.
I know the Tikka is a fine made rifle, but I can not get it to shoot well. Best group I could get at 200 was about 2". I shot several more three shot groups, some 4" at 200. Used 3 different factory rounds.
Does anyone own a T3 in .243 that can point me to a readily available factory load that does well in your T3. I know it really isn't necessary, but I'm looking for sub-MOA.
