[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 1912390, member: 109994"] Why does the hammer forging part matter... Just curious. it's the first time I've heard someone mention hammer-forged barrels being hard to get to shoot. Tikka and Ruger are both Hammer forged, and their barrels are great. I'm not sure about Ruger, but I've heard quite a few people stay they had to get their Tikka barrel really dirty for it to start shooting well andconsistently. Yes I think the hardest part with mine, if I am the weak link, is getting it to recoil same way every time. I should have hit the easy button and gotten my stainless Tikka in a 6.5 creedmoor instead 😂🙄 [/QUOTE]
