[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1557407, member: 75451"] Tikka’s, historicallyexhibit very god accuracy, but they can build a loser, much like anyone else. If you are fairly certain that everything ( scope, bases, rings, etc.) are OK, my suggestion may be to get another shooter, to sit behind it. This was not meant as an insult, merely someone else may do better....then find out why. I was pretty dissatisfied with the groups I was getting with my lightweight, 375 AI. A friend of mine wanted to shoot it, his previous experience was with a 30-06, and was scared to death to shoot it. He promptly shot a 3/4” group, when my best had been 1”. Embarrassed, I asked him what he did. He said he was scared of getting hit by the scope, and held the rifle “very” firmly. I had been trying to have minimal contact, only to stabilize! I then, gave it a “bear hug”, and substantially reduced my group size. Plus, it didn’t kick me nearly as hard as what I had experienced for 2 years! memtb [/QUOTE]
