Short story made long..
I used to have a CZ550 in the sweet Swede, and sold it. bad idea!
left me without a rifle for feral hogs.
Decided I needed to fix that, so I bought a stevens model 200, new for $200 in 7mm-08. 3 boxes of 2 brands of ammo later, (1 box with a loose scope!) and some reloads.. I realized that a 4" "wherever group" wasnt any fun...
So I knew what had to be done, there was only one true answer, and her name is 6.5x55 - ok I might have gotten a 7mm-08, but when I saw the Swede was available for a date...
Sooo..I just returned from a cold and windy 'lunchtime sight in" at the range with the Tikka Light in stainless. Did not buy factory ammo, went straight to reloads I have seen here. 140gr Sierra gamekings, IMR4350.
after a 50 yd sight in 3 rounds, 2 more scope adjusments rounds at 100,
then 3 rounds in about an inch, two touching.
And picked up a box of Sierra varminters 100gr. Cause I am also a Coyote calling fool
Kittos, Tikka!
