Heads up....ultra lightweight mod.

Very nice ChesterP. Looking to get one of these myself as soon as sort my variation. Have you developed a load for it yet or are you shooting factory ammunition?

Cheers A J. I'm currently working up loads using 140 SSTs and 139 Scenar L's with RS62 but only really to test pressures and roughly set zero. It's looking like there may be a few nodes between 42 and 44grs. Haven't tested velocities but will be doing that with some further tests at the end of the month. They come with the trigger set at around 3lbs from the factory. I've slackened mine to just over 2 lbs. When you get yours if you need to do this, it's much easier with the action removed unless you have the fingers of a spider monkey to feel the allen key in through the horizontal opening in the mag well. It's described as a double trigger but it doesn;t feel like a true double trigger. Breaks very crisply though as with all Tikkas. You won't be disappointed if you buy one. I looked at the Sabatti STR as well but it is really only a range gun and it's heavier and not quite as well finished imho as the TAC. Nicely machined and a great barrel though (by all accounts).
