Tikka T3x CTR 6.5 Creedmoor SS 24" Barrel Rifle 1:8" Twist JRTXC382CAS

If you feel this rifle is pushing your budget LRS, or even is a few hundred over, I can assure you it is well worth the extra money! With Factory Hornady Ammo @ 400 yards I was well under 4" groups. The Action is buttery smooth. The magazine is High Quality, Fit and Finish are very good. Recoil is Very manageable. I can not say enough about it. If I could have given it 7 out of 5 stars I would.

Zeroed in first lesson at G&H within 5 shots (Vortex Viper HS 4-16x50). Shot it up to 900 yards in 100 yard increments (Hornady 140g ELD Match). Missed target only once, and I'm sure it was my error. I may want to lighten the trigger a bit (per the instructor), but otherwise, we were both incredibly impressed with the gun. Can't say enough great things about it so far.

I am really pleased with this rifle. It shoots very well and I have shot 1/4 MOA groups and sometimes better, if I could do my part it should shoot one ragged hole. It consistently hits 1 MOA steel at 200 yards using Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor American Gunner 140 gr BTHP ammo. All I did to the rifle is mount an optic and muzzle break. The muzzle break did change the point of impact slightly. If the rifle didn't shoot as well as it does I wouldn't have noticed. The only drawback is the trigger pull is heaver than I like. The pull is adjustable but haven't changed it yet. If you want to hit what you are aiming, go with this rifle.

have only shot it once so far and was impressed by the reduced recoil. i just came back from Maine on a successful bear hunt using a 300 win mag. the 6.5 is much easier on the body. this is my second tikka and the quality is superior on both rifles. I will get time to shoot soon but i predict that the accuracy will be be dead on.

I as well would buy a left handed CTR in 6.5, although I would prefer the 20 inch version, without hesitation if Beretta ever decides to import them.
