[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2321202, member: 118816"] Well if all you want to do is shoot them until they need to be cleaned and sell them let me know. I would love to offer you 25 cents on the dollar for those old inaccurate firearms. I actually bought my Tikka T3X 30-06 because the guy that had it sold it because, "It doesn't shoot good at all. Can't hit the broad side of a barn if you are in it." To make a long story short, I bought it for a song, and not a very long song. Took it home and put a Vortex diamondback 6 x 24 x 50 tactical on it and bore sighted it. First three shots out of the barrel at 50 yards when sighting it in were right at 1/2 inch but misplaced. Adjusted the sights went to 100 yards and the next 3 shots were almost touching, a little high and a bit right. Adjusted the sights so that the hits were zero at 100 with a 3/4 inch group. This was using Sig Sauer 165 gr ammo. Hand loaded ammo shrunk the group to just a bit above 1/2 inch. There was and is nothing wrong with the rifle, it was the nut behind it that didn't know how to shoot. There seems to be a lot of that going on these days. Glad I hunt on private property, it's getting dangerous on public property these days. [/QUOTE]
