I have a Tikka CTR in 6.5 Creedmoor. The thing is the most accurate rifle I have ever owned. It averages under 0.5 MOA for 5-shot groups with 140 gr ELD-Ms. It shoots just over 0.5 MOA with 147 gr ELD-Ms. Anyway, it's a pleasure to shoot.

Yes I love the action on these rifles there buttery smooth and lightweight to carry in the woods. Pretty accurate out of the box and if we do our part on shooting it’s almost as good as a custom rifle. Thanks for watching!

Need to see group size to determine what the rifle is capable of.

1/2” group at 200 yds with factory 143 eld-X ammo I have not started load development for this rifle yet. I bought 10 boxes of eld-X ammo because of the ammo scare awhile back, I shot 2 elk at about 300 yds n had both bullets get stuck in the hide on opposite shoulder. Full mushroom of the bullet, both elk died 100 yds apart

Same rifle and it prefers the 147

[@Warmspringsrezbuck]

That’s good to hear I also shot the 147’s match ammo and it also likes it too but I wasn’t sure of the match ammo for hunting deer and elk size game.

What velocity are you getting from that Rifle? I have been hearing that tikkas shoot a little slower?

You heard correctly. I have over 20 Tikkas. Excellent accuracy. Less than ideal velocities with factory ammo. I'm taking my new 308 Tikka T3x Roughtech Ember shooting tomorrow for the first time along with another new 308 Tikka T3x Hunter stainless superlite
