Tikka T3 Lite .243. Lucky to hit the backstop at 100. Terrible customer service. Said I could send it back if I paid shipping and included a $75 bench fee cause it’s “never their fault”. Free floated the barrel and at least I can now hit the backstop.
That is surprising for ME to hear personally . Reason being I've got #3 in various calibers and though they're Not tack drivers ,they're ALL under MOA with reasonable ammo . Cheap ammo is just that ,personally I'd prefer the manufactures to send ME the components for DIY assembly .
The persons here dumping on the R Mini Ranch , IMO are Justified !. Had a real close skilled Friend who owned one and used it for DCM qualification years back and as his spotter I was going NUTS couldn't even find half the shots as it was kicking dust but OFF PAPER . I bought a .44 R Blackhawk way way back early 70's ,another close pistolero friend of mine ,was the GURU of all things Pistol single action . That man could slick a SA Army Colt better than canned cheese wiz . So ole John says let Me have it and I'll get er dialed in for You ,OK partner . Two months later I got it back with him cursing which He Never did ,told Me to send it BACK to R and have THEM fix it . They replaced it and that one wasn't a whole lot better . Sold it . Swore off the R brand for decades ,just Never had good luck or accuracy .
Now S brand ,yep UGLY Bolt receiver etc. but they're TACK DRIVERS ,so go figure. Brings Me to the M guns flawless accurate robust dependable IMO .
Never had a .308 Bolt gun ,so Years back bought a B brand A Bolt w/Boss compensator synthetic stock ,scoped it with Nice Japanese Nikon ( Remember those scopes I've got some of them also ) took it to the range with handloads
NO clue as where I was starting ,so sand bagged My Bench and popped first two rounds out 1.35" right of center . Looked through spotting scope #1 HOLE ,waited for the line to finish retrieved MY target now I'm gonna tell You having been around the Block for more than a couple of laps ; I've seen MORE HOLES than there are Prairie Dogs but I swear there was NO evidence two bullets passed through that SINGLE HOLE .
I adjusted the scope and it NEVER did it again
