[QUOTE="Joe-boy, post: 1868032, member: 113266"] Here's mine. It's an old Tikka M65, also sold as Tikka LSA65 and Ithaca LSA65, about the same age than I am, in .30-06. I bought it used but practically it probably had been sitting in the safe for 25 years; it came with a hunting type stock, but I replaced the stock with an original M65 sporter stock which is bedded with steel pillars and epoxy. I made a cheek rest of Kydex and attached it with velcro. The barrel is original, a thin one, shortened to about 21 inches and there's a Jaki suppressor. There's a Zeiss Classic Diavari 3-12x56 on the top, and optilocks to keep it there. It's a bit of an ugly duckling to be honest, but gets the job done and with handloads it's actually pretty accurate. There's three shots at 100 meters with 168gr TTSX last autumn when I wanted to check the zero is OK. As always, me and the rifle are not always that accurate, but that's not extraordinary and usually 5 shots can be covered with a coin at 100 meters. But don't we all mainly post the best groups and forget about the others :p [/QUOTE]
