New keyring fob...

[MrBorland]

I recently bought a Tikka T3 CTR, and I've been very impressed with it.

I also bought a new-to-me car, and could use a new keyring fob to go with it. I think I put the Tikka to good use.






Shot at 100 yards. Front bipod, rear bag. Bone stock rifle. Ammo is 140gr SMK over H4350, Lapua brass and Federal match primers.

OMG! Somebody shot Lincoln!

Nice shot, I respectfully suggest you use a Dremel with a metal cutting bit to trim the shards.

 

[03fatboy]

Nice shooting.
Nice rifle also.

 

[Sol]

Like a hot knife through zinc.

Quick! ATF! Confiscate that armour piercing rifle and ammo!

 

[Catpop]

Congrats
That's how I earned my BSA shooting merit badge back in the 60s, except I did it with a 1897 Marlin with leaf sights at 50'. But hey, I could see then!
Congrats on the setup!

Nice shot! What type of car did you get?

 

[hoghunting]

Good shooting, not surprised at the result as I am a Tikka fan too.

 

[MachIVshooter]

Nice shootin'! Next time use an aspirin!

OMG! Somebody shot Lincoln!

Beat me to it! lol. I was just thinking "how many times does the poor man have to be shot?"

Isn't mutilating US currency a crime?

 

[GarySTL]

Only if it's an attempt to defraud.

I have the prior edition of that rifle (plastic mag, non-threaded barrel). It's an absolute tack-driver, and I'd buy another one again in a heartbeat.

I still hear some people bemoaning Tikkas as cheap guns, but the proof is on the paper (or the coin). Best gun I've ever owned for the money. Period.

Five in a dime at 100 yards (and the rifle has put out dozens of groups of similar size):



My setup:

good shot

Looking good. A new and accurate definition for "defacing currency."

 

[batex]

Nice gun and very nice shooting, but next time at least use a pre-1982 solid copper penny.[emoji12]

 

[NickEllis]

Teehee... good shooting.

Next time we go shooting, I'll try that with a .375....

FYI, If you carry your keys when going through airport security and they notice the fob, TSA will go through your stuff with a fine tooth comb.

They'll even flip through the pages of your paperback book, apparently looking between them for a concealed .308 rifle.

Although I'm familiar with the Tikka name, I had never looked at their rifles before reading this thread. They really have a nice lineup at a great price.

 

[horsemen61]

What caliber?

 

[chicharrones]

Wow. Nice shooting. I like that rifle.

 

[MrBorland]

What caliber?

.260 Remington

I'll try that with a .375....

You'll make something that looks more like a wedding ring than a key ring.

 

[coloradokevin]

That's great that they're making this rifle in .260 now! Mine's a .308, but I have an Accuracy International in .260… the .260 has great ballistics by comparison.

 

[polarisgold]

I put holes in Lincolns head all the time, he makes a great washer. Great shot btw....whats the cartridge?

 

[justin22885]

i noticed you shot him in the face.. didnt want to be thought of as copying booth by shooting him in the back of the head instead?

 

[Skylerbone]

Tell us the car is a Lincoln!
