[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1175180, member: 74902"] I'm thinking more like 20 minutes between each shot. I'm also in the quit cleaning group. It's a light rifle so you have to be very conscious about consistent grip and cheek pressure. The barrel heat thing can be very important with a sporter barrel. If the above doesn't work, try holding the front stock of the rifle in a more traditional fashion. Not a death grip but just a light consistent downward and into the shoulder pull. It is hard to shoot a light hunting rifle in the same fashion as a heaver tactical rifle. Most shooters who learn to hold the front of the stock with a light hunting rifle shoot more consistent. I shoot 100 Gr. bullets in a Savage 25-06 with a factory sporter barrel. It will put three into less than 1/2" pretty easily. The Tikka can do it too. Good luck and give us the range report. [/QUOTE]
