[QUOTE="Cutback, post: 2588184, member: 100455"] ^^^ I'd also verify the twist rate. I purchased a new Tikka T3x in .223 Rem. in the last year. It was advertised as, and factory stamped on the barrel as a 1-8" twist. The gun wouldn't shoot anything 69 grain to 75 grains, as that was what I started load development with. Nothing but 7-10" scattergun patterns... I came home from the range ****ed... I even said to a buddy that I was shooting with, "If I didn't know better, I'd sware this gun has a different twist rate. Needless to say, when I got home, I checked it. Even though it is factory stamped 1-8"twist, turns out they installed a 1-12" twist. It now shoots 40 gr. Nosler BT's in the high 4's. [/QUOTE]
