Multiple Tikka Owners: Which Caliber has been most and least accurate for you?

[Leatherneck]

Just curious which Caliber has been most and least accurate for you out of the Tikkas you've owned?

 

[Justin Crossley]

I would say .243 Winchester has been my most accurate Tikka caliber. I've loaded for a lot of Tikka 7mm Remington Mags and every one has been good for me. Never had one that wouldn't at least shoot under a minute.

My 6.5creed has been very accurate.

 

[fatbacks]

My 6.5 Creedmoor has been a .5 moa rifle. 300 WSM has been a 1 moa rifle.

Of the 13 or so I've owned,the best were a 270 Win I currently have and a 7 Rem mag I don't. Don't ask. I do stupid chit with regularity. The least accurate was a 338 Win mag. Second place goes to a 30/06. Bear in mind, the bad ones were MOA. The best will easily do 1/4 MOA. Shooting in the twos with regularity out of the box for less than a grand is my kind of rifle.

To clarify. I've owned;
22/250
243
25/06
270 Win
7 Remmy mag
30/06
300 WSM
338 Win mag.
Some doubles and a triple in there.

^^^^^^^
This. Everyone that I have had and others I have loaded for are all accurate.
I currently am shooting one that was rebarreled into a 6.5 x 284 and it's my current favorite.

The 308 my son shoots is a tack driver. The 7mmag I had was okay, ended up trading it away.

My 223, 6.5s (2), and 7mag all shoot really well.

I think my 223 shoots the tightest groups consistently. But that could be cause it’s just too easy to shoot.

My 270 and 300 are both 1/2 MOA with handloads.

 

[Lawnboi]

My 243 will print consistent, no shit, touching 5 round groups, pretty much every time. Does it with multiple factory flavors.

2 others Iv shot were moa rifles. Including my 223

I've owned 4 now. In order from most to least with a typical group (hand loads)

243 - 0.4
7mm-08 - 0.6
30-06 - 0.75
.308 - 0.8-1

Tough to answer the least accurate part of it.... I would say the most accurate was my friends 6.5 creed I loaded for. Easy half moa gun. Didn't take much load development at all. He also has a 300 win that will print clovers with factory ammo. I only own a 308 and it was a touch sensitive to load for but once I got it figured out it will shoot half to 1 moa easily.

 

[Crusader]

My 6.5 Creed is a half MOA, .270wsm closer to 1 MOA. Hand loads in both.

Love those Tikkas....

 

[Dos Perros]

Most accurate to least accurate:

.223 Rem
.308 Win
.270 Win
.25-06 <-- Berretta accepted this one back under warranty, something was messed up with the barrel

 

[NVVAHunt]

Currently working up a load for my 300 wm. But the 270 win I have had been solid sub MOA after I worked out a good hand load for it. I’m pretty sold on Tikka’s, for an out of the box rifle they are lightweight tack drivers.

Both 6.5's (CTR & Superlite) are the most accurate - .3" guns easy

T3 in .243 is a .5" gun

Sako A7 in 7RM is somewhere between the 6.5's and .243

The only Tikka I know that isn't impressively accurate is my dad's T3X in .243, but addmittedly I haven't spent much time on load development and his shooting isn't as good as mine.

 

[RCL]

223 and 22-250 both in 8 twist.
Under MOA.

 

[jhopkins]

My best shooting has been a 243 but, every one I have owned has shot well under moa other than a 300wm and it was right at moa.

 

[amassi]

varmint in 22-250 and ctr in 260 most accurate
Superlite t3x 6.5 cm that didnt meet tikka standards, sent it back and they sent a new replacement rifle that shot lights out. Would have been interested to see what they found on the non shooter.
