Got in Friday and took a quick trip to the range for a function test and initial zero before a Precision Rifle class on Sunday.

Just shot 168gr Fed GMM at 100, but that target is 2, 3 shot groups. Performed very well in some pretty testy winds Sunday out to 500yards as well. First 2 shots at 500 scored 6's on the NRA 500-yard target, but the next 18 were all 8's or better, with 14 of those 18 being 10's or Bulls.

Folding stock locks up nice and tight. Bolt is butter smooth. Trigger is absolutely perfect. (Can be adjusted easily, but doesn't need it at all) Came with 2 mags…Tikka/Sakos proprietary design…a 3rd is available for free if you register with Tikka, which I will.

With the Argos BTR and bipod she's a heavy girl, but we're going to get along quite well methinks.

Once some more of these hit the U.S., and people get over their love affair with the RPR that needs mods to be a good shooter, they'll realize what a quality rifle you got from Tikka out of the box. Slap on a scope and a bipod and just go have fun!
